So, what are your particular favorite genres of music? I realize this list is far from comprehensive, but I didn't want to spend al day typing in every little sub-sub-sub genre or scene like emo-ambient or jazz-metal or country-house*.

*See "Cotton-Eye Joe" by Rednex. Or rather, don't.

Where is the option for "video game music"?

That's missing as well as some other categories like Singers and Songwriters, Lounge, Videogame or Scatmusic, showtunes and other unclassifiable music. Anything but Radio Hip-Hop, all rap, all heavy Metal and Country music, anything else I like.

I voted classic rock, alternative rock, blues, classic hip-hop, electronic, ambient, other, jazz, classical, and the mash-up genres.

Video game music is not a genre. It's an umbrella term that includes basically anything (see: The World Ends With You).

I love classical. It's very soothing to listen to when working or when relaxing.

A lot of mine weren't there, for example:  Folk, Folk Rock, Psychedelic Folk, Psychedelic, Psychedelic Rock

One thing that annoys me is people calling Pink Floyd "Classic Rock". It's not, it's psychedelic.

I believe "Classic Rock" covers psychedelic rock. I seem to think of Pink Floyd as more progressive than psychedelic. Anyway, I chose Alternative Rock, Blues, Classic Hip-Hop, Electronic (in general), Jazz, Classical, and "I enjoy all musical genres."
What's your problem, Cambodian?

What about Soft Rock, Pop, and New Age, for that matter? Or Religious, or Latin, or.... The list goes on, but those are some pretty major music genres. Entire radio stations are dedicated to those genres, and they're not even up there.

NONE of my favorite genres are up there.

I find "other/misc. in general" to be much too vague. I found more than 10 options to pick, also. I suppose I could have just chosen "all" but that's kind of an inaccurate sampling method for a poll.

P.S. Religious isn't a genre. It's just subject matter. They use pre-existing styles. In whatever time period you want to talk about except the middle ages.
That was a joke.

It's most certainly a genre, just not a style. The poll is about genres, not styles, even though they're generally used interchangably.

I'm going to pull the music history card and state that they mean the same thing.

Latin can be applied to several genres - Latin Rock, Latin Hip-Hop (Cypress Hill is my favorite), etc. Ditto for psychedelic, religious, etc. Like I said, this isn't a massive genre genealogy chart; figure out what major genre what your favorite style fits into and pick that, I guess (for example, Soft Rock and Pop fall under general rock).

Shouldn't funk, soul and rhythm & blues be in this list? Their absence has caused James Brown to scowl in disapproval.

Classic Rock covers bands like Creedance Clearwater Revival, not Pink Floyd, the Psychedelic band.

Radio stations and sane people disagree. Classic rock is a blanket term to mean anything from the late '60s through the '70s.
