I usually give people way too long of an answer, that no doubt makes them want to roll their eyes at me, which goes something like this: "I like all kinds of stuff. I grew up on mostly rock music, but I listen to a lot of jazz, metal, hip hop, electronica, latin music, afro-pop, classical, experimental stuff, basically name a genre and I probably like at least some of it."

The funnier thing to me is how I once overheard my wife describe my taste to someone who asked her: "He listens to punk."
