For my entire life I've had an extremely eclectic and diverse taste in music. I listen to every genre impartially, from gangster rap to classical.
I feel like everyone else I know IRL listens to one, maybe two or three genres of music. Other people seem to focus on just a few styles.
I really don't understand this. Why would you go through life only eating hotdogs and donuts when there is a whole world of food out there to enjoy?
Like my best friend listens exclusively to hip hop/rap. Now he is a fucking wizard genius and knows 1000x more than I do about that genre (and I know A LOT), but I don't understand really.
I have different moods, different vibes all throughout every day. I listen to everything, and use music for different purposes such as enhancing a mood or changing a mood.
I'll be honest. I really dislike US southern country music - but even in that genre I find things I love (like Hank Williams III, outlaw country).
I have some hearing loss due to blasting my ears when I was a teenager, and it scares me a bit. I can't imagine life without music.
I don't know, just wanted some other opinions on the topic. I think music is literally a gift from the gods and hearing may be my favorite sense.
I'm with ya on the country thing. Man I hate Country, and I'm from South Georgia lol.
As for me, I listen to mostly rock, blues, punk, and metal oriented stuff. And Reggae/Ska occasionally, which has many of the same roots as rock.
I do so because that is what I like. I mean, I get what you're saying but music is a lot different from food. There are only so many types of hotdogs to choose from. But when it comes to music theres tons of subgenres and tons of different unique bands for each genre and subgenre. So it's a lot easier to get away with. With hotdogs theres only beef vs chicken Frank's lol. It would get old quick.
Honestly I dont listen to genres outside my preferred because to me, quite frankly, they sound agonizingly awful to me. That goes for Rap, Country, Pop, EDM, techno, Dupstep, Classical, Hip Hop, R and B, whatever. Like they do nothing for me emotionally 95 percent of the time and just plain out get on my very last nerve, but I deal with it cause everybody has their own thing.
I mean this could also be analogous to marriage. One could say why would you want to be monogamous when you could be polygamous? Well because you love your spouse and she is enough for you. Other women just dont complete you like she does. It can be the same with music. If I have an exclusive relationship with Rock/Metal then why would I need anything more?
Hell, in just Metal alone there are TONS of subgenres to keep me satisfied.
You got Traditional Heavy Metal, Death Metal, Black Metal, Thrash Metal, Sludge Metal, Groove Metal / Slow Thrash, Alt Metal, Progressive Metal, Doom Metal, Stoner Metal, Southern Metal, Nu Metal, Psychedelic Metal, Christian Metal, Unblack/White Metal, Christian Death, NWOBHM, NWOAHM, Speed Metal, Glam Metal, Grunge Metal, Industrial Metal, Metalcore, Deathcore, Grindcore, crossover Thrash, Funk Metal, Drone Metal, Half Thrash (Post Thrash/Proto Groove), Deathrash (Proto Groove), Rap Metal, Trap Metal, Blackened Thrash, Blackened Death, Djent, Heavy Hardcore, Brutal Metal, Symphonic Metal, Post Metal, Folk Metal, Pirate Metal, Norwegian Death/Black Metal, Celtic Metal, Power Metal, Pagan Metal, Black-Doom, Viking Metal, War Metal, Idol Metal, Blackgaize, Melodic Death Metal (Melodeth), Melodic Black Metal, Post-Black Metal, Nu Thrash, Slam Metal, Teutonic Metal, goregrind, pornogrind, Math Metal, Deathgrind, Death-Doom, Mathcore, Death n' Roll, Space Metal, Gothic Metal, Biker Metal, New German Hardness (Neue Deutsche Harte), Neoclassical Metal, Avant-garde metal, Latin Metal, Industrial Death, Epic Metal, Industrial Black, Nu metalcore, Crust Punk, Alternadeath, Metalgaize, Technical Death Metal (Techdeath / Prog-death), Dark Metal, and probably a whole hell of a lot more. Although I reject some of these. There are even some bands that mix things like Banjo-metal, Reggae/ska Metal, and Jazz fusion Metal, but it's more as just kinda playing around, as these things generally dont combine well on their own and thus it's usually played like a jazz section, then a metal section repeated, for example.
And you have tons of bands for each subgenre and some bands that mix, transcend, or overlap subgenres and/or other musical genres in some way and some that just cant be defined by some subgenre at all.
You almost get 2 totally different types of music going from one spectrum to another. For example, listen to some Blackened Crust Punk like Execütion and its is going to be VERY VERY different from some Space Metal from Star One. One is going to sound like really loud and fast chaos with really harsh shrieking vocals and the other is going to sound like some kind of weird 80s synthesizer electronic music with clean vocals and distorted Thrash riffs. But that is a really extreme example. Some Metal gets really dorky (Space Metal, Folk Metal, Symphonic Metal, and Power Metal, for example) and once you get too far into Extreme Punk oriented Metal you start to lose the complex structures that are common in metal compositions (Grindcore, Goregrind, Deathgrind, Blackened Crust, etc.).
Here is some good examples of the differences
