It's ok...I like em too. But don't tell anyone.
Mostly, the genres that I've always been into as a youngun and continue to love as an adult are firstly blues, and secondly soul. This is the music I could listen to anytime, any place and not have to be in a certain "mood" to enjoy. Others that I could put in this category are folk and singer/songwriter, though thats happened only in the last couple years.
Other music that I enjoy, but have to listen to at the right time is metal (please don't make me get into sub-genres here), rap, hip hop, and country.
I do like pop music, but it has to really catch my attention somehow. Not with crazy GaGa flashiness (sorry fans) but with actual musical talent. (I'm sure she's a talented musician, but I just don't feel like she's relying on that talent to get anywhere, but rather gawdy outfits and showmanship). I do have a soft spot for dance music, even though I can't dance well at all.
Some genres I just can't seem to get into are post-rock, most indie, and screamo.
I have developed a new found love of trip-hop though. It's slowly creeping it's way into my "music I could listen to anytime, anyplace".
