Here's my list of genres that I concentrate on. I put equal emphasis on collecting each category. They're divided up in idiosyncratic ways that reflect my preferences. There's some overlap because of this, and some genres are extremely broad. Each line is a category. The slashes on a line usually mean that I take turns between concentrating on each (so the first time through the list I'll do the leftmost genre on that line, then second time through, the second one on that line, etc.) The genres sharing a line I think of as related in some way, and in a couple cases, it's simply different names that more or less the same stuff is known by.
I like all of these genres equally, and because I collect them per this list, I pretty much listen to them equally, too:
