I also listen to Techno, VG music, and Jazz. I can listen to almost anything, but do not prefer most rap, hip-hop, pop, or country.

Why:

I don't know for sure. Metal/Rock/Industrial appeal to me because I like the sound of electric guitars and the music they're usually used to produce, I suppose. I like the tempo and melodies that can be found in Techno, Jazz is soothing, and VG music's just damn catchy and blends all the aforementioned reasons.
