This post is a little pointless, but I just finished going over
EVERY BAND I listen to, separating all their genres, and figuring out how much of everything I listen to.
I did this once before, and this was the original result:
Originally I had a separate chart for various kinds of Rock. This time, I decided not to do that and to have one pie slice just for bands labeled 'rock', and added a half of a value for bands that were 'pop rock', 'punk rock', ect.
So anyway, here's the new list. You'll notice some new genres have been added, including funk, reggae, and indie:
I also made a spreadsheet showing the differences since then:
As you can see, my generic rock has increased while my metal has decreased about the same. My hard rock has decreased greatly while my alternative and post grunge has increased. Punk stayed the same, and then there are various changes including increases in funk, reggae, and indie.
It looks like I've made a shift from louder music to softer music. That's my interpretation.
Also for Jen, here's my rock chart:
If you compare this chart to the original one at the top, my rock has actually gotten a lot more diverse! I'm not just listening to a lot of rock, I'm listening to a lot of
different rock!
Anyway, it was fun to figure out. I'm starting to get more into other genres, while still listening to a lot of rock as well.
no harm.
