You only listen to video game and anime music, Xhaiden?
I have a loads of alternative/indie rock, progressive metal, techno, Djent metal, classical, trip/dream pop, indie pop, orchestra and jazz. A few video game tracks and Cowboy Bebop music.
Yup, pretty much. I've never really had much interest in real bands or singers, and those I do like (with the possible exception of Crush 40) are decidedly old-school.
My parents have wildly different tastes in music, so I got a liking of bands like the Stray Cats and the Brian Setzer Orchestra from my mum, and from my Dad I got a
love of heavy metal and rock, stuff like KiSS, Queen, Black Sabbath, Rush, Motley Crue etc.
If I'm being entirely honest, I actually prefer instrumentals to actual songs, as I can just sit back, close my eyes and
imagine a story instead of being told one. I've got a folder full of stuff by Celldweller and Blue Stahli, on the sole basis that I can picture my RP characters in some really awesome action sequences set to that stuff. (For example, I can picture my entire cast doing an "out-of-the-smoke" style anime opening to "Not Over 'Til We Say So". I also pictured a oneshot where one of DrWilyII's mooks - likely boforte - would accidentally let a berserk Alastor out of his containment pod, set to the BGM of Celldweller's "Good L_ck, You're F_cked")
My MP3 Player's actually not all that indicative of my overall tastes, I just don't have enough room on it to include everything I want. I mean, VG and Anime music is a
big part of my love of music, but even then it encompasses pretty much every genre except rap. I
really don't like rap. I've got orchestral, heavy metal, death metal, jazz, trance, techno, rock, swing, K-Pop, J-Pop, electronica and even chiptune in folders on my lappy. I keep meaning to upgrade my player to something with more space, but I always seem to find stuff I want more than I do a new player....
