Favorite music genre?

Heavy Metal is my favorite, but I enjoy many other genres of music as well. I care more about what sounds good to my ears than I do genre so pretty much anything goes.
 
Depends on the day really. Although these tend to be my go-to's:
  • Future Funk
  • City Pop
  • 80s Pop
  • Ambient
  • Lofi
 
1. Vocaloid metal/metalcore
2. Melodic death metal
4. High tech full on
5. Symphonic black metal
6. Progressive death metal
7. Full flavor
8. Complextro
9. Early 20th / late 19th century classical music (romanticism/ early contemporary)
10. Blackened death metal
 
Japanese rock/pop/visual kei
deathcore, death metal, djent, slam
Vocaloid metal
dark ambient, death industrial, power electronics
electronic, drum and bass, idm, gabber, happy hardcore, trance
classical, opera, world music
video game soundtracks
80's, 90's stuff
and much much more, I love music

As I've gotten older, my taste in music has expanded quite a bit.
So I'd say "soundtrack" if that can count as a genre ::sailor-embarrassed
Video games & animated TV shows in particular have some amazing soundtracks of varying genre that I listen to every so often.

I can listen to video game, and anime soundtracks all day. I have a few Dreamcast, Playstation, and N64 mixes that are each around 3-4 hours long that I just put on and get lost in the soundscapes. The synths, and sample packs used in those games had some great sounds.

The Nier & Persona games really got me into remixes as well. Teenage me thought remixes were an abomination hehe ::sailor-embarrassed
 
1. Experimental Hip-Hop
Shit like Death Grips, Lifeseeker, Clipping., Ho99o9, 1-800 PAIN, Saul Williams, El-P, etc. I also lump in a lot of stuff that's usually considered Alternative Hip-Hop like RTJ, Danny Brown, Young Fathers and Aesop Rock because I generally like their more experimental stuff best (like Danny Brown's Atrocity Exhibition and Uknowhatimsayin¿ albums and Young Father's 28 Years Later soundtrack).

2. New Wave/Post-Punk
Everything from New Order and Siouxsie and the Banshees to Joy Division and Depeche Mode, to new stuff like Viagra Boys, Protomarytr and the Tempers. While they often have very different sounds and influences, I typically lump them together because, well, they've been associated since before I was born.

3. Industrial
All the Industrial subgenres. NIN, Marilyn Manson Angelspit, Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, Ministry, Rob Zombie, CombiChrist- I like it all, from Industrial Rock to EBM influenced Aggrotech.

4. Digital Hardcore
The really crazy, extremely cyberpunk-influenced outfits like The Prodigy, Machine Girl, Fatboy Slim, Atari Teenage Riot, Kill Alters, etc. I particularly enjoy the Breakcore influenced stuff like Machine Girl and Kill Alters.

5. Hardcore Punk
Shit like Show Me The Body, Agnostic Front, Suicidal Tendencies, Body Count, Big Black, etc. It's a particularly amorphous genre I've noticed, with stuff like Viagra Boys getting lumped in with it despite the fact that they sound much closer to Post-Punk to me. Personally, I tend define the border between Hardcore Punk and Post-Punk as the horn section- if you have one, your Post-Punk. If not, Hardcore Punk.
