re: How would you generically describe the music you like?

Moody, loud, guitar- or synth-driven pop rock.

That's all a question for yourself.

I guess now after thinking about it, I can try to give you a better answer: A lot of times I'll come up with an idea, usually a chorus surrounding a certain phrase and sit down with my guitar and pick out something that will work pretty quickly. Then I finish writing the verses and build a story. Then I'll do a rough recording and listen to it. I'm almost never satisfied with it, even if it works OK.
So I start twisting up my chord progression a bit, turning around some chord changes, using some different chords in certain places. Trying to build suspense or lift and giving more impact to(what I perceive as) important lines.
I'll do that over and over, even transpose it into two or three different keys, use different guitars, until I find what works best for the lyrics.
It drives my friends crazy, but I like to make sure the point of the song comes through. It's usually worth the extra effort.

Primary: southern rock (Skynyrd, ZZ, ABB, ARS), blues and blues rock (SRV, Winter; Bad Company, Foghat).
Next: hard rock (Van Halen)
Some: country - more songs than specific artists; early funk and Motown; some-90s (3 Doors Down); classical
Despise: rap and dark music (AC/DC was way too much hell-centric for me)
Really appreciate music talent of all sorts, vocalists, guitarists (Shawn Lane, Mancuso, DiMeola), drummers (Thomas Lang, Carl Palmer), etc
Great question OP; just hard to formulate a succinct answer.
ETA: I love music I can crank up barreling down some highway.

I mean, it changes drastically depending on mood, weather, soberness, listening environment, time of day, day of the week, what I’m doing while listening….you name it, it’s going to have me pulling from a pretty eclectic library of musical tastes.
That said, I love the blues. I love rock. I love jazz. Bluesy jazz jam bands (a lot of Grateful Dead). I love surprising chord changes. I’m not a lyrics guy but an amazing voice is just another instrument to enjoy. My inner rhythm is fast but I’m very outwardly chill….songs where there’s a driving, aggressive, emotional low end with a calm, teasing, building high end are typically songs I’ll love. A song like Interpol’s “Untitled” kind of epitomizes what I’m trying to describe.

When drawing bubbles, each probably overlaps a bit with power pop.

Yea, I like power pop a lot. Matthew Sweet is one of my favorites.
But I also love Van Halen, Allman Bothers, The Cult.

Anything other than opera and rap/hip hop.

Melody-driven and instrumentally sound music of basically any genre. Really appreciate quality harmonies and percussion as well.
This pretty much sums me up as well. Very well put.

Wide ranging.
I like almost everything from the 1920's onward with the exception of rap due to so much debasing lyrics.
Country, rock, pop, jazz, metal, folk, R&B, soul, blues, singer-songwirter, rockabilly. Love it all.

Easier to tell you what I hate.
Jazz
Most country (some with a female lead is ok)
Any recent rap. You know, the kind that has the same damn trap beats they’ve been using for the past 20 years, Translation: all of it.
Any metal that has double bass drums and double bass drum pedals. Pure awful.
I enjoy everything else. I can even stomach some jam bands as long as it’s not live where they noodle the same song for 47 minutes.

Late 90’s /early 00’s indie music
Posted on 1/28/25 at 10:30 am to Bjorn Cyborg
melodic with good tone. occasional odd time sigs, occasional dissonance
bluegrass/ math rock/ stoner metal/ ambient. love instrumentals, fiddle tunes, etc or lyrics about trains or wizards.
heavy into singer/songwriter stuff too but to me that's more for the poetry part of my brain as opposed to more music-oriented music
