    Just trying to get an idea on what people on this forum listen to other than hip hop. I am late thirties so the 90's scene was a big part of my upbringing so old skool dance music holds a massive section in my heart. 90's f----- up my mind with all of the drugs we all took through raves back then but some of the best days/nights/weekends/weeks of my life were in that period. No other music or feeling can ever touch that spot again. "Hardcore till I die".

    This is one of the playlists I use for my mancave:-


    My music tastes are quite varied from UK grime, 80's, 90's, rock, rap, happy hardcore, techno. What about you? Can be anything... guilty pleasures too. I have lots of those... Mika, N-Dubz, Take That, Lilly Allen and more..

    I have a pretty varied music library. When I was younger, 12 - 15ish it was all about the hip hop for me but as a grew older I started to appreciate other genres more and more.
    In my music collection I have everything from classical, jazz, to breakcore, and metal. Dtuch, French, K-pop. Country has never done it for me, and I'm not really interested in screamo or pop. I try to be open to new music because you can never own enough and it's too easy to overplay the music you do own.

    Aanime soundtracks, indie, rock, soul, pop. I'll go from Britney Spears and Spice Girls to Ghostface Killah and Public Enemy. Other than that old songs from when I was a kid that I feel nostalgic to.

    Japanese pop, rock, and r&b. Ethereal. A bit of French pop. In general I like alternative, electronica or anything electronic-influenced. A bit of rock. Classical and jazz. Some pop if it's decent but I usually end up preferring foreign pop. I listend to random music and can enjoy almost anything from anywhere. The only thing I couldn't enjoy much is country but I'm sure that's a lack of finding the right artsist. I don't have time anyway.

    My taste in music generally makes little sense to people.

    Outside of hip-hop I have a large collection of R&B music on my iTunes. Being Hispanic I also listen to a lot of music in Spanish from a wide array of genres; from Ranchera to Bachata I got a lot of it covered. Some Pop classics here and there along with Rock, Electronic to name a few.

    I like a bit of everything, but lately I've been all about post-rock. Like Sigur Ros and Mogwai.

    When I was younger it was mostly ehatever my parents listened to, stuff like pop, country, hard and soft rock and zyd3co. Once I discovered hip hop I disowned my previous experiences up until I discovered system of a down and queen in my late teens. Now I listen to as much music as I can minus dance and most country (the oldies are great though)

    I listen to pretty much everything except country/jazz, those are pretty much no go's with me... Electronic/pop stuff is my favorite above all else though, and rap is probably one of my least listened to genres. I like a good mix of things though, especially when the mix involves electronic music. I have a ton of music in my library ranging from classical music to s--- like nirvana to skrillex to p!nk and a f--- ton of other stuff in between.

    Nice. I wasn't expecting such a varied response to be honest. I have way too many friends who are the type who say "I like everything" without really having an opinion. Music is amazing in that it splits up so many people but brings so many together in the same way.
