Most flavours of metal, hard rock, punk, some blues stuff like SRV and Gary Moore. Basically, if it has loud guitars in it, I'm there.

I mostly listen to varieties of British music (shoutout !britishmusic@lemmy.world)
I love R&B. I've been exploring British country music lately (surprisingly is a lot of it).
Massive fan of grime music (!grime@lemmy.world) (similarish to hip hop but with electronic beats) and its predecessor, UK garage (summery dance music vibes). UK rap in general is a big thing for me. I listen to drill music on occasion but not super often (modern gangster rap basically, although there's a lot of commercial drill nowadays). Been really into jersey club music lately - I think the beats are really cool.
I have some fondness for dancehall (!dancehall@lemmy.world) and afrobeats music as well.
Other than that, I enjoy (but don't listen to actively) baile funk, some varieties of house music, deep/original dubstep music (not the screechy dubstep most people think of), reggae, lofi-hiphop, the underground NY hip hop scene
I almost exclusively listen to video game music. I've been listening to a lot of music from Pokemon Black and White lately.
I listen to a bit of everything. Bands in my recent rotation include Low, 3rd Secret, Motörhead, Rick James, L7 and Joji, Aimee Mann, Mdou Moctar, Aphex Twin, Beastie Boys. Donny Benet
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard’s PetroDragon Apocalypse is my favorite album all year.
My favorite all time genre is industrial. So stuff like The Young Gods, Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, KMFDM, Ministry, Filter, Mulitple Man, Meat Beat Manifesto, Pig, Emptyset, Youth Code, Atari Teenage Riot / Alec Empire, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, Download…
I'm really into mid 2000s pop-punk. Obviously the big ones like blink-182 and Green Day, but also a bunch of the smaller ones like The Starting Line, Rufio, New Found Glory, etc. Those were the bands I listened to when I was learning to play guitar. I learned so many of their songs because they were easy AF (except Rufio). And I guess those songs really stuck with me.
I'm a real big fan of grunge. All my discovery feeds are based off nothing but 90's grunge.

I’m a big rock/punk rock guy so I’d totally recommend Green Day, Foo Fighters, Blink 182 and Sun 41
Metal, breakcore, and whatever genre kobaryo is
Ska Punk, rock, and power metal. My favourite bands at the moment are:
Streetlight Manifesto/Catch 22/BOTAR (Absolutely phenominal in every way)
Night Gaunts
Bomb The Music Industry! (And Jeff Rosenstock's other projects)
Beast In Black
NanowaR of Steel
Reel Big Fish
Less Than Jake
Mad Caddies
The Trews
Semisonic
Flogging Molly
Alestorm
I'm all over the place. Willie Nelson, Rodrigo y Gabriella, OutKast, The Cure, Beck, Blackalicious, B-52s, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, James Brown, The Clash, Ray Charles, Jonny Cash, The Who, ELO, The Beatles, The Guess Who.
Basically I start with listening to different genres of music, and add them into a big playlist and keep looking for new music to add to the playlist. I love finding collaborations that bands have done and spinoff bands.
Midwest emo... Camping in Alaska, caving, cap'n jazz, American football etc. Highly recommend caving if you're into that sort of stuff, hands down the most underrated artist I've ever seen.
I'm slightly biased towards progressive rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin), vanera (Baitaca, Os Serranos), neofolk and folk metal (Faun, Korpiklaani... does Kayah's album with Bregović count?), some punk and grunge (The Offspring is still one of my favs). But it's a bit too messy to generalise.
Punk rock.
...Is Taylor Swift a genre?
But seriously, my music taste is pretty much her. Otherwise I like alt rock, rock (not too heavy though), ballads, pop that has good lyrics and a decent hook, and any song I hear that has guitars I like 25% more than those that don't.
Ambient, electronica, Post punk, emo and goth stuff, synthwave, sludge / stoner metal, industrial, and folk music.
My favorites over the years were
- Chemical Brothers
- Underworld
- The Presets
- Aphex Twin
- Brian Eno
- Boards of Canada
- Ministry
- Nine Inch Nails (but boy did he jump the shark hard)
- Skinny Puppy / oHGr / Download / Phil Western
- Einstürzende Neubauten
- The Cure
- Killing Joke
- Neil Young
I don't know why, but I also gravitate to girl guitar bands. Especially if they sing in harmony. Instant goosebumps!
Heavy Metal. Most things with screaming/growling that has actual lyrics are gold to me. Ice Nine Kills manages to blend that with my love of the horror genre, and discovering them felt like finding a new home.
