I listen ot all sorts of different genres... i actually dont really listen to techno that often. classical music is my fav at the moment and the cure 'boys dont cry' I like things with dicordant harmonies in it and a harsh edge.. or quirky with warm sounds. For me its about feel and style rather than genre. People i think like a certain 'edge' to music and down through the ages and the genres there are pieces of music from all these different genres that fulfill this need.
Genre just refers to name. the need to pigeon hole everything.
