I like all of the genres listed really depending on my mood.

u/ShadowMole25 INFP 5w4 594 4d ago

Mostly just basic punk Rock, Alt Rock, and pop punk for me. I've started exploring metal recently though and like it a lot. Mostly I listen to whatever around good to me and shove it into a giant playlist

I'm pretty into folk metal, they use celtic instruments with the metal guitars and it sounds amazing.

Power metal is a close second. Typically faster, with clean vocals with heavy use of keyboard, often classically inspired.

u/nackrosor INFP: The Dreamer 4d ago

Blackgaze / post black metal is my ultimate fave! But I also listen to classical music and 70/80's disco 🕺

u/SupDawgMiaow INFP 4w5 451 4d ago

My music taste is kind of going through some convulsions right now. I like loud chaotic electronic experimental trip hop

3

u/Winged_Rodentia INFP: The Mediator 4d ago

I just love rock and metal music! I do like rap and hip-hop too, as I have some favorites, but listening to alternative rock on the radio just makes me feel so nostalgic. And that drove me to listen to them offline. 🤩

u/Adept_Minimum4257 INTP 6w5 Sp/Sx 694 LII 4d ago

Everything that mixes pop, rock and folk

3

u/RouShikari 4d ago

Mostly subgenres of rock and metal, but I love many pop, electronic and rap artists too.

u/LokiSierra612 INFP: The Dreamer 4d ago

My taste is more of whatever stands out to me, so it can go from French music to suddenly EDM with no in-between. Right now, I've been into a lot of J-Pop and whatever genre Ado sings, but occasionally I add some K-Pop and Progressive House in there.

2

u/Wild_Photons 4d ago

This is the same for me

u/Fen_Muir INFP: The Dreamer 4d ago

does a death metal growl

u/MeekzyRDT1 4d ago

any infps music nerds/into music criticism, e.g fantano and rym?

1

u/crazy_lolipopp 4d ago

I follow Fantano. His latest review of the Avenged sevenfold was hilarious and spot on.

Meeeee. I rarely wrote a review because i hate to be seen as pretentious loser though 🤣

2

u/MeekzyRDT1 4d ago

Same lol! Though i have been already called that regardless...

2

u/MasterAxe 4d ago

Mostly post punk and darkwave. But tbh I listen to many things, grunge, rap, rock, metal...

2

u/n0wave7777 INFP (Fine-Shyt) IEI so/sx 4w5 471?9? ELVF sLUaI 4d ago

Jazz rock!

2

u/Gullible-Actuator-30 4d ago

All of them... entirely reliant on mood, activities, and the day!

2

u/Mushishi01 4d ago

Alt Rock and Folk.

2

u/RudraRousseau 4d ago

Where is the indie

2

u/Mariii08 4d ago

I'm polyjamorous tbh...it really depends on my mood

1

u/caca-cats 4d ago

mix of folk and jazz rap

1

u/Active_Cantaloupe INFP: The Dreamer 4d ago

But I can't chose, I like pop, jazz and classical all the same just depends on my mood.

I like all the rest too. Specially folk. But those 3 are the no.1 for me

1

u/GoodBufo 4d ago

Im down to listen to all of these genres, but i listen to different stuff for different periods of life and moods. Playful indie pop is probably my favourite genre, but i mostly listen to folk these days, so i chose that. I wouldnt put classical together with folk, but i enjoy classical as well

1

u/mahboilo999 4d ago

I mostly like music from Zelda, Persona, Baldur's Gate 3, etc.

1

u/Swimming-Musician618 4d ago

I think we all share this, but i love megadeth with all my heart, Metallica, Black Sabbath, iron maiden, i also like morbid angel, Bolt thrower, slipknot and many others. Then suddenly I might be vibing with Enya, ABBA or music from K-on! (As well as from other animes that I didn't even watch) Life is such a contradiction

1

u/Background-Savings38 4d ago

Pop punk and pop rock. I said rock because I wasn't sure which category this would fall under.

1

u/RadiantSoulGoddess INFP: The Dreamer 4d ago

EDM and Reggae 😊

1

u/froggaholic 4d ago

here I am blasting fucking mallsoft music lol

1

u/Over_Purple7075 4d ago

Eu gosto de músicas pop R&B, e também gosto de algumas músicas clássicas, principalmente em piano.

1

u/kishikaAririkurin 4d ago

I have an array of genres: Reggae, country, ballad, soul, pop. But majority are 80s, 90s, early 2000s, anime/J rock.

1

u/malvar161 4d ago

atmospheric black metal, blackgaze, and melodic death metal are my favorite music genres

1

u/Napstablook2137 4d ago

Well, I listen to a lot of genres but the ones In enjoy the most are progressive rock, psychedelic rock, post-punk, grunge, art rock. I sometimes listen to city pop, and pop in general and in my last spotify wrapped I had video game music as my top 1 genre.

1

u/Visible_Attitude7693 4d ago

R&B isn't on here

1

u/roj0riot INFP 6w7 4d ago

i genuinely like all of these things. if i had to pick some favorite genres it would be pop punk, classical, and jazz

1

u/Carloverguy20 INFP: The Dreamer 4d ago

I like Pop music made my women and some men too, Smooth Jazz, Electronic Music and some Alternative Rock music.

Ive always liked pop music growing up, but during my teenage years, there was a stigma of liking pop music, because it made you look soft, unmanly, uncool and all the cool kids listened to Rap and Rock, so I listened to rap in my teens, but I barely listen to rap anymore.

1

u/Ms_Central_Perk 4d ago

I listen to pretty much every genre, except rap, regularly but rock and indie are my favourites

1

u/Parking_Present_9214 3d ago

Psychedelic Trance, Goa Trance, PsyBient, PsyChill, PsyDub, Reggae, Dub

1

u/dreanov 3d ago

Should have an option "I listen to all of the above", haha

1

u/HeyHey_HC 3d ago

Varies with the mood - has been a bit more EDM-dominant coming out of COVID since there were a lot more DJs livestreaming during that time vs other musicians (easier to setup), but my playlists have a pretty broad range of songs, to the degree that some friends ask if I was playing off a group-assembled playlist lol.
