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.

This is what I like to listen to, depending on my mood. I left out nonsense genres like proto-Punk, proto-Metal, Yatch Rock, Dad Rock, and Freakfolk, which I really don't listen to. I try to avoid the terms like indie, world music and Freakbeat, which I sometimes listen to. I don't care for the term "Twee" but I listed it anyway.
A lot of those are sub genres. Just say oh Ilike plenty of things, such as jazz, rock, blues, soul, reggae and more. Now you have a starting point, and if none of those genres interest the other dude he can ask for a few more.
