What's your favourite genre of music?
I love pop music! Many people hate this genre of music, but look! All the forms of music nowadays sounds like pop as well!In fact, some beats are borrowed from pop. Look! There's pop-rock for an instance!
punk and metal...aggressive lyrics, killer guitar riffs, and insane drumming...i love it

I think you'll find it's actually pop that does the borrowing, not the other way round.
ROCK ALL THE WAY! I dont like it just because my friends like it. I like it because the lyrics are great and I just like how it sounds.
punk
rock mainly
and you know what they say... you cant spell crap without R-A-P
and you know what they say... you cant spell crap without R-A-P
ofcourse rock!
not only my music style... rock is my lifestyle
not only my music style... rock is my lifestyle
Of course my favorite gerne are Techno and House. That's music is very popular in my country. 
Metal:
Heavy, speed, melodic, somewhat black and death, symphonic, little thrash, power.. hmm that's it..
also Hard Rock =)

I like baroque music, and renaissance and medieval musics as well.
I'm also enjoying folk and metal music (especially folk-metal bands, such as Otyg, Windir...)

I would say :
Death metal, grindcore, drum'n bass and electro...

I like to much music...
I shall begin naming the genres:
Beatbox - R&B - hiphop - house - salsa - merengue - rock (not all, just Linkin Park
These are my most genres of mine...
And like you said, do i like it because my friends do.. ?
Yes and no.. i mean, friends are people you talk to and trust...
And friends have the same taste as you, or else i don't see them as friend..
At least i do.. i don't have friends that have a totally different side of music..
classic rock would have to be my favorite... I mean a genre that includes the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Queen, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, the Doors, the Who, and Velvet Underground is vastly superior to any other genre.
I think Bob Seger said it best:
"I like that old time rock'n' roll"
"I like that old time rock'n' roll"
I love itaoldisco and eurodance, the best of the world!!!
Rap , Of course

meh, i listen to anything. no point on just narrowign urself on one thing.
Punk/Rock/Goth and Emo
Metal, Hard Rock, Rock, Classic, Hardcore, Metalcore, Classic, 80's, all kinds of music. No, I do not like this type of music because of my friends. Infact, most of my friends don't even listen to some of the music or bands I listen to. Also I am not a follower and like my own styles of music and self-being so I go with what I like, not what the crowd likes.
i love all kind music, but my favorite band is Nightwish and Tarja Turunen ! I love all kind music but in the first place its gothic and power metal !
im not tryin to put u down or anything like that.. but this kind of post about whats ur favorita genre of music has been posted a lot of times.. lol .. but well my favorite type of genre is reggaeton

I like many styles of music, but my favorite genres would have to be indie, soft rock, classic rock, and classical. Besides classic rock, most of my friends don't actually like these genres. So of course, I like them because they suit me, not because other people, let alone my friends, happen to like to them as well.
I like all of kind music... except heavy rock. Rap, soft rock, pop, even classical is OK for me.
Nightwhish... I did love it but now i hate it, cause THEY KICK TARJA TURUNEN out!!!

I really ADORE Radiohead. These guy really kick ass.
I really LOVE cool stuff, like Tom McRae, Yann Tiersen (frenchie), Norah Jones, etc.
I also LOVE metal stuff, Metallica, Deftones, Korn, Slipknot, all that heavy crap, I really love it.
I do LOVE trip hop, with Massive Attack, Portishead, Air, etc.
I LIKE some electronic things, but not that much...
I really ENJOY classical music, but once in a while.

Same here dude...
METAL is my religion.
I am a great fan of Dave Lombardo (Slayer drummer). I was inspired by him. I love playing drums now.
Even when I am in the office, i play slayer music in my mobile phone with low volume so that no body else can hear to it.
I shall begin to list for you my favorite genres of all time.
- Alternative/Punk

I don't mind most styles of music but I have mainly listen to Jpop and R&B and a bit of techno... Strange mix yes.. but it really depends on my mood.
I'm into Hip Hop, r&b, and rock. 
Definitely have to go with Rock as my main genre of music i listen to then next would be Techno/Trance/House music, after that would be pretty much anything i can get my hands on...
pop and rock 
I personaly like classic rock good music 
i love alt. rock generally. also love grunge-rock
joshwong: We have the same taste for music 
Electronic Music.
Warp Records.
Aphex Twin. Richard D James genius.

Rap and rock/metal are the top 2 on my list.
rap and reggaeton
Power Metal - is the best!
Also: gothic, death, black...

Old-School Black Metal
Folk-Black Metal

HIP hop and rock
Love New Age, Pop, Rock, Soul, R'N'B, Hip Hop
Folk/Death or Power metal can be pleasant at times
well I'm a guitar player. so I mainly listen to rock, hard rock and metal bands. I love blues too.
Rock all the way! I have always been a rock fan. Mostly old stuff from the 70's and 80's, although some of the newer stuff it starting to sound good again. Halk of the stuff that they call rock anymore IMO absolutely is not. I heard somebody call Britney Spears a rock star
unless the criteria has changed, she absolutely is not. I always thought that pop was something else altogether.
I like techno and hardcore,
Because of me and some others almost every friend of me likes techno and hardcore

I like a lot of genres (except Hardcore and hardrock!).
The genre I grew up with and love is Jazz. No more to say
The genre I grew up with and love is Jazz. No more to say
My favorite music genres are hardcore,speedcore,darkcore, terror and things like that.
I actually abhor genres and classifying music because a lot of music transcends catagories and it encourages the stereotypes of a genre and etc..
For example, you can tell that most of the people on the Internet have a strong distaste of rap, hip-hop, and pop and like rock.
As for myself I don't really pay attention to what genre or catagory a song is in but just pay more attention to if I like the song or not. I'd listen to rap, rock, pop, metal anyday, so I guess the final answer is... all of them.

I like this (these) genre(s) because I like the music. I respect the artists. It sounds good live. There's more to the music than the music - rebellion, political statments, having a say, making a difference. The right and ability to be an individual. Living life to the full.
I don't like it because of my friends. About half my friends listen to what I do, but even then this is because I have met them through music, or like them BECAUSE we shared similar/same music tastes.

i have electic taste when it comes to music. Very diverse range. One moment I could be listening to jazz, rnb, even bubblegum pop. But right now I tend to listen to a lot more pop rock more than anything else.
On my player right now is a CD of Cat Stevens. way before my time, but I still like his songs.

I like lots of different types of music. I mainly listen to rock. Classic rock or new rock. My tastes really vary a lot actually but that's what I am listening to most often.
its gotta be Hip Hop as number one,,, although there is a lot of poor stuff,,,,ie 50,,,ja etc,,,,,there is so much quality.... long live real hip hop....peace
i like jazz because it is relaxing and mentally challenging.
i like electronic music because i can sit and dwell and shape the sound.
i like hip hop cause i can get paid.
What do you like?

I'd say rock but then again rock is too vast a genre, so I'd have to say I tilt towards alternate.
Also I like death and black metal.

I listen to mostly classic rock, but I do like some of the modern stuff, like Maroon 5, Jet, etc. I also like progressive rock (Yes, Genesis, Rush, etc.), folk-rock (The Byrds), and I dabble a little in other areas. I' learning to play on a classical guitar, and the more folk-based stuff seems to play better.
Trance, techno, rave and drum and bass. I really like this genres
They make me calm 
I'll listen to just about anything as long as it isn't any of that emo crap. (You're girlfriend dumped you, get over it)
But i have my preferences in hard rock or rock, depending on my mood.

Uggh... I like many artists of different genre. If good music were a genre, I'd say that but....
"Good" Metal. I don't like stuff that sounds like someone taking a dump
Trance. I don't like dancing-type trance, just trance that is deep.
