emo - awesome riffs on the guitar, extreme drum fills, and bass lines, mixed with meaning full lyrics

Rock and Metal and progressive variations of both.
The heavier the better (without too much screaming).
I'm also impartial to a bit of jazz, blues, funk and sometimes a bit of pop. (but no shithouse massproduced mindless pop.... and no trance either.)

There is probably no evidence how anyone automatically likes a genre/sub-genre.

I automatically get into Alter Bridge's One Day Remains (my favorite artist/album of all time so far), Default's One Thing Remains, and 30 Seconds To Mars A Beautiful Lie.

I am really into the jam band genre. Any band that can go on stage with 10 minutes of planned material and make a 70 minute set out of it is great!!! I think the best examples of this are Phish, THe Greatful Dead, MOE, Allman Brothers, just to name a few.

Emo - Emotional, depressing, sad, but with an upbeat tune mostly. Most of the songs are about broken hearts and suicide. emo's know for all the "cut my wrists" and "my life is so hard" and the shweet hair, guys wearing girls jeans, tight shirts, making out, writting poems, "im dying inside", black eye liner, hateing life, vegetarian, eyes covered, "cut myself be cause i love you", just plain cut myself, depressing and painful kind of stuff. At least those are the stereotypes i know. I don't really care what it is, i just know i like the music

You got that right drive-by....nothing like a Dead or Phish show, it was like X-mas every show because you never knew what what going to happen, each show was as unique and special. I started on the bus in 1977. Moe. also captures that spontaneity.

I prefer R&B because I love the lyrics and any time in the day I just pop in any R&B CD and the song and or songs relate to me or what I'm going through.

As of now, the genres I prefer is Hip-Hop/Rap & Pop. I like most genres of music but it seems like I've been listening to Hip-Hop the most. But I think the next genres I'll be into are going to be Drum & Bass, Breakbeat, Industrial, Hardcore punk / Crossover, & old school Thrash Metal.

i listen to mostly hip hop, although i enjoy some rock as well. i dont listen to radio played hip hop, i mostly listen to indie hip hop (a lot of hip hop nowadyas has gotten away from true lyricism, which is corrupting the genre with CRAP like lil jon, e 40, 50 cent, and so on...) and actually i am a fan of some guys on UBW, they're really passionate

I hate the new definition of R&B. todays R&B is just rap or hip hop that people don't want to call it such.
Guess I'm gonna have to start calling old R&B something like 'Oldskool Jazz and Blues'...

or maybe I'm just deluded.
