Is it common to have a diverse music preference?

Of course it's common for people who are more open-minded about music to have more diverse taste than people who limit themselves to only a few types of music.

Unfortunately not. In fact, the more open minded you are, the more hated you are. Observe - Here's a list of genres i listen to;

2. Rock - Grunge, Post-Grunge, Alternative, Space/Art, Progressive, Psychedelic, Southern, Texas Blues, Heartland, Pop Rock, Hard Rock, Shock/Glam, Garage Rock, Industrial, Gothic, Indie, Rock 'n Roll, Rockabilly.

3. Punk - Traditional, Horror, Ska, Skate, Crust-Punk, Hardcore, Crossover Thrash, Pop Punk, Post-Hardcore, New Wave, Post-Punk.

4. Pop - Synthpop, Bubblegum Pop, Post-Britpop.

Guarantee I get thumbs down.

That's totally normal.

Here's a general rundown of my taste in music/what I've been listening to lately.

Kendrick Lamar (rap), Joyce Manor (punk), Modern Baseball (punk), Alt-J (alternative), The 1975 (pop/alternative), Panic! at the Disco (rock/alternative), The Vaccines (rock), Vampire Weekend (indie rock)

I think everyone will listen to almost any genre if they have no choice, but if they can pick something they have a favorite one or two genres. I personally listen to a wide variety of music electronic, pop, anything rock, nu metal, some rap and some country

*snorts frozen yogurt out of my nose* What? DIVERSE MUSIC PREFERENCE? You're joking, right? Nobody has that!!

Yes it's common. I'm VERY open minded.

Good answers but it's only after you lose the word "genres" that you'll be truly free. It will come.

Yes, all genres have great music, but a lot of sh!t too
