Lets hear some love for the genre that makes you weep with joy!
Mine's powerpop because the harmonies are many, the melodies are acrobatic and the cheese factor relentless: perfect for raising spirits!

© DrownedinSound.com | From the Archive - The Weekly DiScussion: what are the essential musical page-turners?
alt.country!
Love love love love love. LOVE.
Power pop is pretty great. Ditto Swedish electronica.
mine's lo-fi
i think. Although i love many other genres, none make me almost cry like smog, or the mountain goats, and elliott smith
<3
funk metal
Soul!
You gotta have some mo-town/soul/old school (proper) RnB in your life.
I love Complaint Rock like.......
Stain'd, Papa Roach and Disturbed.
Never have so many middle class, suburban white people found so much to get so upset over!
have you ever seen this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y7p06f0EWo
^ Now that is EXACTLY what I'm talking about!
kinda makes me sad that i could
probably recite the lyrics to that song if i needed to, also most of korn's 'early output' and $3 bill y'all. i never even liked this stuff
Surely Limp Bizkit go in there too?
As ben folds sings....
Let me tell y'all what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
Techno, Electro, Minimal
well all of them really every singe genre.....
Post-Rock
Fuck deh haterzz. Or Indie Folk.
I mean Indie Folk along the lines of The Microphones and the like...
^ He means The Levellers!
Americana
Is what I usually say, as it's a nice broad term that 80% of my favourite music can be slotted into without much fuss.
alt-country/americana
that or shoegazey-dream pop, if i can group bands such as Blonde Redhead, Asobi Seksu and Mew together
no real genre, really.
but upbeat, fast-paced, jangly layered electric guitar-based music beats everything, for me.
Urusei Yatsura?
Hoxtoncore
I doubt there's real need to explain what I mean by that.
most of the music on iTunes (gah!) is listed as
"Alternative & Punk".
i guess this is a good approximation (albeit, rather vague) of what i enjoy most. :)
All of them.
erm..
Pre War Blues probbly
black metal
gorgoroth! venom! bathory!
easily my favourite genre of metal
also, g-funk
is that funk on a whole level?
you know, where the rhythm is the bass, and the bass is the trebble?
riot grrrl
there should be a law enforcing that about 50% of all music made is done so by angry shouting women.
Gotta love
angry girls
post-hardcore
yep
hmm
not sure if i like all this pigeonholing, but the genre out of which i like the most bands is probably post-punk. perhaps because it's a pretty wide genre, more of an era in some senses, with no two bands sounding the same.
I really wouldn't know..
..someone check my profile and find out for me. I hate genres.
MINIMAL
TECHNO.
fieldy core
Coming up from the slum core
passiveangercore
rap metal
apple core
crustmantlecoreinnercore
ignious rock
sedimentary productions
THE END OF DOOM
I knew I should have copyrighted that
i was playing final doom the other day
Alternative
'The American Indie'
krautrock
'Pigfuck'
metal
totally seriously
I think I agree with Shitmat
There's No Business Like Propa' Rungleclotted Mashup Bizznizz. (Although he does also claim that UK Swampcore Sucks In Comparison To Techstep New Wave Psy-Jungle... which is just an isane claim to make.)
Probably
Post Hardcore, Math or Post Rock (it really is addictive)
post-everything mathcoregrinderock
is doing it for me at the moment.
:D
spazzcore
all the cores
What's mine do you reckon?
I need to know, I can't decide.
prog rock
math core
something like that
I was going to say Prog rock or math (not math core).
Yeah, I will accept that.
:)
what do every time i die do?
are they metal?i like etid
metalcore?
im mad for cores today!
At a gig last night I saw more raw poor law core
than i've ever seen before
North American Indie-Rock
Metal
headbanging, devil horn raising, leather studded, mosh or die, motherfucking metal. I really should start acting my age.
Post-punk
without doubt
what bands are post punk?
bands like
The Fall
Joy Division
The Cure
Television
Sonic Youth
Liars
ah i see :)
Liars?
Which album are you refering to mostly when you say that?
All of em
especially the first two
Ok.
I would say your probably right for "They Threw us In A Trench" but I was asking because I would never have thought of "Drum's Not dead" as post-punk, more like droney, industrial(ish) prog.
Although I'm not exactly an expert on genres. ;)
P.S
These are the only 2 Liars albums I own so I don't have opinions on the other albums.
Dub
Probably
Hardcore
American 80s post-hardcore
Grunge
Post rock
Dance music.
:P
P-Funk
and psychedelic soul
Post-prog
I don't know if any bands are this, but it sounds like an ideal genre in my head.
Nu-Foalscore
Math-jazz
No, prob. post-punk or shoegaze. Or electro.
