experimental (it's a goofy catchall genre--improvisation, electro-acoustic, glitch, microsound, tape music, some synth work--like elaine radigue (who is so great, you have no idea...))
jazz, especially the variants that ken burns dislikes.
contemporary classical
some regular classical (no german orchestral music of the mid-late 19th century tho)
lots of african pop music and more "traditional" stuff
gnawa
persian classical music
early field recordings (for the surface noise)
dub
reggae, some dancehall
hip hop
noise
phonography
lots of other stuff i can't remember the official genre name for.
i do not understand the term "alternative"
black metal if i am in the mood and it is really really loud is ok
i kinda like slayer. it is a guilty pleasure.
most metal doesnt interest me.
i like older pop, but prefer things i havent already heard millions of times.
i can tolerate bluegrass in very small and controlled doses.
i cannot tolerate most country music at all.
i am ambivalent about opera, but not closed to it
not that interested in contemporary pop, but i like being surprised.
no boy bands.
i have tried and tried to like death in june, but it just isn't happening.
contemporary r&b makes me dream of driving a tack into my forehead.
