<p>Genres:

  • Alternative rock (NOT generic Nirvana knock-offs like Silverchair and Nickelback)
  • Classical (NOT flute or trumpet concertos, or lied/opera; NOT Mozart or Beethoven, or similar composers, like Haydn/Schubert)
  • Non-Western folk/traditional music (particularly Indonesian gamelan; not vocal music [e.g., Japanese Kabuki/Tibetan chant])
  • Jazz (includes both earlier big bang swing and latter “serious” instrumental jazz; NOT smooth jazz)
  • Metal (NOT just straightforward, by-the-numbers “metal” - has to have a unique edge to it)
  • Pop-punk (presumably for nostalgic reasons; I don’t really like any pop-punk except for what I already liked when I was younger)</p>

<p>Others genres I like, but to a lesser extent, include post-rock, hip hop, film score, pop, and punk. I can’t stand country.
Sixties music (i.e., classic rock) usually bores me. Eighties hair metal makes me nauseous.</p>

<p>Artists:

  • Alternative rock: Ringo Shiina/Tokyo Jihen, The Back Horn, Muse, Deftones, Tool, Alice in Chains, SoaD, Pixies, Foxy Shazam
  • Classical: Hovhaness, Scriabin, Bach, Chopin, Strauss, Ives, Liszt, Saint-Sa</p>
