What is Your Favorite Music Genre?

[Jokuc 8,173]

Not to sound rude or anything but if you make a thread like this you gotta make sure you:

1. Make WAAAAAAY more options for people. You should go look for what different genres there are and then make a bigger list of options.

 

2. You should let us pick more than one.

 

So I'm gonna wait with voting until you fix these things because Jokuc be mad when his favorite genres are under "other" as if they weren't as big as the other ones you remember in your head.

I understand that I missed some major genres like country and -billy but believe it or not many music gernes are not as popular as you think. However I am updating the list with every suggestion I get so don't worry your pretty little head spikey-wikey

Please also be aware that If I were to add everysingle genre, even with grouping, the list would be too big to actually get an opinion from. I do agree that it is flawed though.

Classic rock down to the core. I've grown up listening to the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Queen, Bon Jovi, Electric Light Orchestra, The Doobie Brothers, etc. This genre is great as a whole because they use real instruments and real talent, unlike rock music today.

 

I know very well most MLP fans love dubstep, but I can't figure out why?

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

So far I'm the only vote for jazz.

 

Blues would also be a good one to add to the list, if you're still expanding it.

Haha! Jazz was just added. I would have if it was there before x3

That and there were a few other people who commented on that xD

[Jalaton 155]

The music that I listen to is all across the board, I guess I'll pick electro since I've been listening to it recently.

[TyHopkinson 42]

I love classical as the sound of beautiful and classy instruments playing in harmony is just music at it's finest. I also like some dubstep and rock.

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

Might as well drop this here:

 

 

That should give you a better idea of my tastes. I'm into classical, rock, and metal too, but this is my heart right here.

[Marshmallow 1,137]

Because I feel as if everypony here would vote dubstep because of the immense amount of dubstep pmv there are. And I am feeling slightly retarded for missing those genres, hopefully it won't be that big of a problem.

 

That does not make any sense. If people want to vote dubstep for their favorite genre, then let them do so. Isn't that the point of the poll? To see what is the favorite genre of the people of the forums? If it's dubstep well fine. Sounds to me like you don't like dubstep and that by purposely not adding it to the poll you want to create a false impression that other people dislike it too.

 

I personally don't like dubstep and would not have voted for it if it was in the poll. But I like polls to be representative and to give a good idea of the truth.

 

Also, "emo" would probably fit in "rock" or "punk" (which could probably also be blended in one category if you wanted to be really broad)

 

You are also missing a bunch of pretty important genres such as blues, country, reggae, ska, folk, etc.

 

Anyway, enough with my rant. My personal favorite genres are progressive and psychedelic rock. I also listen to alot of Classic Rock (most modern rock bands suck ass in my opinion, they got no personality) with the occasional blues and jazz fusion. I also enjoy listening to some Beethoven (which I guess would classify as classical music even though it's more romantic than classical)

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

The genre's of music that I like consist mostly of Hard Rock & Heavy Metal.

 

Classic Rock, hard rock, blues-infused rock, heavy metal, grunge, alternative, various punk bands including - the Ramones, Flogging Molly, Green Day etc..

It was difficult for me to choose but i had to go with rock. And its not any specific rock either. Any kind i'll like. Hell i'll litsen to anything as long as i think its good.

[Crispy 5,563]

HOW DARE YOU NOT HAVE APOCALYPSE POST FOLK OR RETRO-MODERN JAZZ FUSION.

 

Ha ha really though, if you name every genre, the voting list is going to be eighty pages long. Try to slot your favorites in a larger group?

[spaghettinoodles 298]

I love how metal and rock are the most listened to genres among people on a My Little Pony forum. I found out about MLP:FIM because of metalheads, you know.

What I can't figure out, is why dubstep is so popular in this fanbase? I understand that this is a different era of the music we listen to, but I don't understand why the bronies like this kind of music? I understand the fans like it, but I'm not one of the fans that like dubstep. There has to be a reason why they like it.

[Uhhhhhhh 15]

I choose rock but its really dubstep,idk dubstep just is really good for parties IMO but i still like rock like Green Day,AC/DC

[Le Kvlt Dawn 2,364]

I did not include dubstep for the single reason that nothing would be accomplished if I did. So, go ahead, what's your favorite music gerne MLPForums? (Please forgive me if I forgot anything).

 

*Edit: I've updated the list again, hopefully I've hit the major groups.

 

The way you labeled the genres is kind of weird. For example in Punk you should of put "Punk (hardcore, traditional, post-punk,horror, etc.)" For Emo , emo actually evolved from the roots of hardcore punk (Listen to Fugazi) so that would go with punk. Now metal you should've included subgenres such as Thrash, Black and Death. You also forgot alternative and from there you could put subgenres such as grunge, indie, alternative metal, etc.

[Critical Hit 69]

One problem, you left out Chiptune.

It may not be the most popular genre, but it's one of the few genres of music that is completely unique.

[Fire_Fly 499]

My taste in music is eclectic to the point of me not being able to keep track of all my favorites. My top three would be electronic, hard rock, and classical/anything with an orchestral sound.

[Crispy 5,563]

Because the people who make the wubs in this community make better music than the rest of them. The rock/metal/whatever else part of the community has always been a step or two behind in quality, at least in my opinion.

[Haven Celestii 9,385]

Leaving out Dubstep is like leaving out......a genre....

 

I have way to many to choose a favorite. And by that, I mean I don't have a favorite between the ones I listen to most.
