The slashes on a line usually mean that I take turns between concentrating on each (so the first time through the list I'll do the leftmost genre on that line, then second time through, the second one on that line, etc.) The genres sharing a line I think of as related in some way, and in a couple cases, it's simply different names that more or less the same stuff is known by.
I like all of these genres equally, and because I collect them per this list, I pretty much listen to them equally, too:
- afro cuban jazz
- ambient/drone/noise
- art pop/sophistipop/zolo
- avant prog/RIO/zeuhl
- bluegrass
- blues
- blues rock/boogie rock
- broadway/showtunes
- bubblegum/teen pop/radio disney artists/top of billboard charts
- circus/carnival/mechanical music
- comedy stand-up/comedy music
- country/western
- country-rock/americana
- dance/disco/"club music" (all dance-oriented/club music in other words--IDM, house, techno, etc.)
- experimental
- folk/singer-songwriter
- funk
- fusion
- gospel
- hard rock
- hip-hop
- jazz
- latin
- metal
- modern classical (from the 20th century on)
- nu metal/groove metal/funk metal/rap metal/rap rock
- pop
- pre-baroque classical music
- pre-rock pop (pre 1956)/pre-British Invasion rock (through 1963)
- progressive rock
- punk rock
- psychedelic rock/psychedelic pop
- r&b
- reggae/dub
- rock
- soft rock/yacht rock
- soul
- southern rock
- western classical music
- world music

A lot on that list are just sub-genres, and sub-sub-genres. I get your point but I think a list like that doesn't necessarily means more "different" types of music, it's just more type of related music being listed. Say if I listed 80 genres, it doesn't mean I listen twice amount of different types of music than you do. I don't think it proves I am more open-minded, or I'm any better a music listener.
I've seen people on the internet say they only listen to ABBA or The Beatles, and in a way I am fascinated by that, not getting tired of hearing the same stuff constantly. I don't think I could restrict myself to one band. However they love ABBA or The Bealtes that much and that's all they want to listen to than all that counts is that they are listening to music they love to hear.
