Which types of music do you think is better?
Ranging from heavier stylings of Metal, Grunge and Punk. To the softer laid back music from country and blues. Or the popular upbeat music?
I tend to listen to all typs of music, although heavy metal has always been my favorite pack of genres. Iron Maiden was my first real concert back in 2006 and it was the best concert so far (Followed by Ozzy Osbourne 2 months later)
What music do you think is the better music?
Metal, heavy rock, sometimes softer rock, techno, rave, 30’s-40’s big band, instrumental.
The only genres I universally hate would be rap, hip-hop, and country.
I absolutely hate rave and techno.
I’m inclined to the heavy side.
I’m confused by your rigid classifications. You can get both blues and country that’s pretty damned heavy. And I’ve heard some music which I’d class as metal which is pretty gentle.
Everything, excluding that godawful R&B! And most of those talentless techno hacks like Tiesto and Scooter to name but a few. I do like good techno but I don’t think the aforementioned hacks are any good.
Other than that I like almost everything from Herbie Hancock to Wu-Tang Clan, from Metallica to Blondie, from Mos Def to Vivaldi, from Ugly Duckling to America.
Point is, genres - to me - are pointless means to judge wether music is good or not. Every medium, be it television, radio, video games, and music have some great examples as well as total crap in them.
If I like the song, then I’ll have it in my collection 
Tiesto is more trance than techno but other fair enough. I agree with your general point though. I consider myself as primarily a rock fan (but like most other genres to differing degrees) but wouldn’t go near a lot of what is purported to be rock these days.
Well they would be subcatagories of the genres they are in. For example Art Metal is pretty soft compared to the likes of the various Core metals.
But as a whole it’s mainly to just see what people like to listen to. 
For a catch-all electronic music genre DON’T use techno. Just say electronic dance music or edm because that’s what you mean.
Also what kind of classifications are heavy soft and popular? It’s like asking the quality of food from how soft or tender it is, or how many people eat it. Dumb.
I like interesting and overwhelming music a bit more than mellow ambient kind, although it’s very situational.
As I said, it’s just a basic go ahead OP. This thread is to discuss peoples music tastes, not correct their inabilities to name them appropriately at 5:30am
I’m into techno/trance things of that nature. I’m trying to like acid but some of that stuff is a little bit not music at all.
but I like other music from other genres, except rap which I’m not sure should be classified as music at all.
I’m a pure Rap and Hip-Hop fan! Not that popular bullshit that 50 Cent or the other fuckers do, but the real OG gangsta rap and west coast hip hop…
I don’t listen to genres, I listen to music.
Do you listen to avant-garde, freak folk and glitchcore? Yeah I don’t think so.
Everyones tastes are somewhat limited to genres.
no
freak folk is really mainstream and so is avant-garde
I mostly listen to electro-house and trance, but nothing really commercial.
I listen to metal, so I guess heavy? Then again I listen to a lot of metal and progressive rock like Porcupine Tree, Torche, Queens of the Stone Age and Protest the Hero and that can be very soft in relation to say, Bolt Thrower or Anaal Nathrakh.
I mean, both Torche and Anaal Nathrakh can and are considered metal, though Torche walks the fine line.

Anaal Nathrakh - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQu-Cmjeerk
Both metal…and I guess heavy to some, but there are varying degrees of heavy and soft in music.
Ironically, compared to all the “Death” Metal bands I have seen live like In Flames, Cannibal Corpse, Obscura, Necrophagist, Animosity and so on. Torche which I linked above was probably the most violent…at least their drummer was. But he puts Cannibal Corpse to shame.
House, techno, club, rap, and whatever the songs are popular ATM.
Anything that sounds good to me. Coincidently, that’s usually rock of any time, metal, indie, alternative, industrial, noise, surf, blues, jazz, country… I also enjoy the occasional experimental electro and skipbeat + a bit of rap.
Only thing I can’t stand -at all-, is techno, house, trance, club and anything related to those.
Oh and ehm… Dinosaur Jr. ftw, keke?
You missed my point. I don’t really think about what genre something is, as long as it’s good.
Just for you I’ll make a rough list of genres I have on my PC.
classical
blues, (folk and country, but mostly limited to the likes of Bob Dylan), ragtime, jazz, soul, funk
rock: blues-rock, folk rock, hard rock, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, avant-garde, punk, glam rock, grunge, industrial, new wave, metal, nu metal, death metal
reggae, dub, ragga, breakbeat, jungle, drum & bass, breakcore, dubstep
trip-hop, ambient, dance, techno, trance
hip-hop, rap
“World” music, though I don’t really like the term
