What genre of music do you prefer and WHY?

Take note.. when answering WHY let me know things like.. is it because of your circle of friends.. do you all share simular music interests.. or is it because your grew up with certain family music.. (my dad played church songs..and now i love hip hop and hard rock.. lol).. do you find certain lifestyles appealing more than others? like being a listener of hip hop compared with opera-where there is a CLEAR socio-economic difference.. does this affect what you listen to??

What genre of music do you prefer and WHY?getting late

wow i never did analyze why i listen to what i listen.

well here's a brief history of the music i listen too :

started with hymns cause i "grew up in church" then i when to work and was introduced to techno/dance/trance fell in love with it immediately and now i listen mostly to dance/techno /trance.

with an occassional hip-hop, rock, metal, etc song.

i find the gothic lifestyle very fasinating but am not really into it. most people are susprise when I tell them i like techno. as i dont look the type. whatever it is.

What genre of music do you prefer and WHY?regal theater opera theater

Rock, Classic and New. Because of family and friends. I live a life style the I can afford.
I like to hear songs from bollywood. they are nice. You must try them.
Rnb coz the music sounds good year in year out a song first sang in 2007 can still be worth listening to 10 years down the road.
Old School R%26amp;B - because that's what I grew up with.......
The genre of music I prefer is POP/ROCK, because it is so soothing and wonderful. It is also good to listen to it as well.
I grew up with my parents listening to R%26amp;B, Oldies and a blend of rock. I prefer listening to R%26amp;B which I have learned to appreciate. To me, I believe it relates to who I am as a person and my experiences in life.
