I'm currently stuck on two genres: punk rock and avant-garde. Of course, this doesn't mean I'll stop looking into these genres later on, and it definitely doesn't mean that I won't look into any other genres now. It's just I'm stuck on this "tangent" type mindset. So, has anyone ever had this happen to them?

You've basically just described my whole pattern of listening to music. Last year, for example, I went through a month or two of listening to mostly 90s gangsta rap, one album leading to another. Then I abruptly got on a stoner doom streak. Then dupstep. Then death metal. Then bebop. These days I'm on a streak of checking out experimental music, which has conveniently coincided with the experimental music listen club starting up.
