I mean, sure, if you look at different bands in my library, it's varied, but atm 90% of the bands fall under some form of rock.

I hate how ambiguous it is, what that tells me what someone gives me that answer is that they're looking to come off like they're educated about everything, and don't want to seem like they possibly might be ignorant about a genre. It's not really a good icebreaker either, so it really gets on my nerves when I try and pry a bit to get a favorite genre, or what they're listening to currently and I get something like "I don't know". I'm guilty of not being able to answer what I'm into in a broad sense, and I try not to come off as pretentious when music comes up in conversation either. I try stating what I'm into at the moment and that it's a current phase, but I listen to so much more than that. I do have preferences, but they change all the time.
I talk about music a lot, different genres, sounds, but the moment I'm given a broad answer or question about it I get confused or scared. GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WORK WITH GOD DAMNIT!
