I think now there is so much variety within genres and styles, unless you only listen to one song by one band, you cant say you only like on genre. Even bands themselves have different styles. Theres nothing wrong with mainstream music, its mainstream because it sells, music is a business it needs to make money. Doesnt mean you have to love it or hate it though. I think trends have kinda destroyed music as bands are looking to become big rather than do their own thing, but recently talent seems to be coming back through which is great. I listen to anything. i dont hate anything unless its useless, do have prefered styles, songs, band etc. Dont think i could ever follow musical fashions no matter what they meant I like to listen to what I like. Music is an expression of you as a person. It makes you an individual.
