Tbh i don't really follow music trends, but here's what I can observe judging from people from my school.

First you have the Top 40 crowd, basically sheep who follow every rnb, electropop, hip hop artist who is 'popular' atm.

Then you have the heavy rock people. People (usually guys) who listen to heavy metal, or rock, like AC/DC or Nirvana or Led Zeppelin. Some branch off into metal like Bullet For My Valentine, Slayer, Slipknot, etc.

Then you have the indie people. There are two groups. One is the emo/pop punk crowd who have bands like The Maine, You Me At Six, alexisonfire, etc. The second is the indie rock/brit pop, who listen to Arctic Monkeys, The Kooks, Modest Mouse, etc. Often these two groups overlap.

And a smallish group are ravers, who listen to like Deadmau5 and Daft Punk. A nice bunch of people.

Oh, and the rappers. Who listen to old school rap.
