I almost exclusively listen to video game music. I've been listening to a lot of music from Pokemon Black and White lately.

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
Legitimately almost every genre, as long as I'm the mood. Lately tho I've mostly been listening to The Fall of Troy, Blink-182, Dance Gavin Dance, This Town Needs Guns, and good ole Pro Era artists like Capital Steez and Joey Bada$$.
Iβm a big rock/punk rock guy so Iβd totally recommend Green Day, Foo Fighters, Blink 182 and Sun 41
I really like J-Core right now. But I sometimes just tune in to the Dance genre. I'm a bit of an allrounder, because I hear lots of electronical music, as stated above: J-Core, Dance, Techno, House, Hard style, French Core and Psytrance. Just to name a few.
I had my phase, where I mostly listened to a guy named Otira. Now I listen a lot to someone called t+pazolite. My current favorite Track is called "Hyper 4id"
Metal, breakcore, and whatever genre kobaryo is
Ska Punk, rock, and power metal. My favourite bands at the moment are:

Happy to listen to lots of stuff though. Some others that come to mind right away: Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Kylie Minogue, Madonna, Moist, Technotronic, early Skinny Puppy, Gunship, Luis Ake...
Folk drum and bass (e.g. monster ceilidh band)
Mostly extreme metal, moreso since going back to college, but I also like post-rock, shoegaze, and classical amongst other things. Try this out for size.
I'm pretty big on americana lately. Lots of good bands to discover. I'm also getting back into ska.
Right now: Steely Danβs album βAjaβ
