Final Answer.

I hate, hate, hate, hate, the question "What kind of music do you like?"

That is an impossible question. Genres don't work, for within each genre are brilliant artists and people who aren't even artists, they just have a record contract. There are people who don't have a record contract. And there seems to be an expectation that one only likes a few kinds of music.

Well yeah, there are some genres that I don't appreciate the general sound of. Mainstream rap and pop. Country. Opera.

But aside from that, here's the real answer. I like music that is alive.
