So...here's a poll. I tried to make as few poll choices as possible so choose the one you feel suits you best.

Popular Music:
"I like new, cool, and hip music. If a lot of people listen the music, its normally because it's good."
Classic Bands:
"I like to listen to the great bands of the 60s, 70s or 80s. Classic rock or metal is the best. Most modern artists suck and aren't worth listening to."
Underground:
"I'm an underground junkie. Most people have never heard of the artists i listen to. I listen to a lot of different genres from any decade and i'm always looking for new and interesting music."


Attention!:
This thread is not about bashing mainstream music.
And if you guys hijack this thread by talking about how bad(or good) Justin Beiber is, I will have you castrated and shot.

By your definitions, I'd go with underground- I do like a very wide variety of genres and don't care what year things were released, however, I wouldn't say most things I listen to are that obscure.

I literally listen to a mix of everything, but I'm mostly attracted to old, emotion-inducing songs.

I listen to mostly classic bands, from the great thrash groups of the 80s to 70s prog to 60s psychedelic rock.

By the definition of underground, I'd say that is what I am. But, I'm sticking with Tim, not all the stuff I listen to is really that obscure.

Probably classic. Actually more like half classic half modern.

I listen to a mix of classic rock and newer rock/alternative/metal. So... I don't know what to categorize that under. People know the bands I listen to. A lot, and I mean a lot, of people don't like the groups I listen to though.

By your vague options, I'd go with underground. :P

I've always been an underground music lover. Mainstream status of music really just repels me. And very few of the artists I listen to are ever known by people I come across. It's great to wear concert shirts of underground artists though, everyone's either confused or rudely curious.

Underground, I guess. Only because I don't purposefully restrict myself to specific genres.

Wow, i was expecting the Popular Music category to be a lot bigger. I know there's a lot more popular music listeners on VT.

Why isn't classical music in there?

95% of the music I listen to is classical music

I am definitely underground. :) I like a lot of bands people haven't heard of, and genres from Christian to heavy metal.

Classic music all the way. I love Black Sabbath (all eras) & Genesis (all eras) the best.

I fit in Every single category here. From Teenage dream to the big four of Thrash right through to underground British Indie.
