I wanted to know what music you listen, and if our gender affects the music we listen too?
--------------
My favorite music always tend to be female voices, Surpremes, Madonna, Stacy Q, Hilary Duff, Shania Twain, Shakira, the Marvolettes, Donna Summers, Dolly, Britney, Katy Perry, Rihanna..... *examples*.
I also have a tendency to dance-pop music from 1996-2002, especially Europe... but it's all ears-open if it's a good female singer. I also have a tendency to listen to mid-late 2000s pop Queens like Rihanna, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Nasa Del Rey *if you're a fan you know what I mean*, Britney Spears *although she was an original Queen of late 90s but she was also popular during the 2005-2010 era too* but I love her so much after 2007.
What music do you listen to?
I listen to a lot of metal and punk. ...It's really frustrating when someone will bring up my taste in music and imply that I'm masculine for it.
But anyway, my favorites are Metallica, Testament, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Arch Enemy, Once human, Against Me!, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Havok, the Accused, Maximum the Hormone.
I enjoy loud and agressive music because it really synchs up with the frustration I'm feeling every day! [emoji12][emoji869]

80s new wave, XTC, B-52s, Talking Heads, Siouxsie, Cure, etc, punk, 70s prog rock (especially King Crimson and Gentle Giant), and fusion. More recent alternative and grunge, like STP, Soundgarden, Deerhoof...
I'm a musician (guitar, bass, and keys) so I like listening to technical music with lots of fast notes. Lol.

I'm more of a metal head but I'm a sucker for pretty much any metal or rock band with a strong (especially female) lead singer. I consider it a side effect of growing up on a steady diet of Lita Ford, Pat Benetar, and Heart.
I love The Pretty Reckless, Halestorm (Lzzy is even better live), Within Temptation, and so many others. Currently I have Vengeance Falls by Trivium spinning in the stereo. It's an unpopular album among fans of the band, but it is the first one where the lead singer finally came out and led after learning from Dave Draiman of Disturbed who produced the album. (who is also a phenomenal vocalist) Bands that hide the lead singer behind the instruments bore me.
Paradise Lost is another band that I enjoy throughout their evolution from metal to synth pop and back to even grungier metal.
That said, I do like some techno/electronica kind of stuff. Stuff like Blackmill and their Reach For Glory album makes for good working and thinking music. While not really electronica I have been listening to a lot of Lindsey Stirling's music as well. That woman is incredibly talented.
Then there are the guitar gods like Eric Johnson, Joe Satriani, and Steve Vai. I love that stuff as well.
I really can't stand country, especially the new "hee haw pop" as I like to call it. Rap generally does nothing for me, aside from some of the older funny stuff. The top 40 pop tarts really don't do much for me, and obviously autotuned singers make my skin crawl.
Bands that can play and singers that can sing.... iron maiden, me first and the gimme gimmies, lag wagon, NUFAN, Tsunami Bomb, Pat Benetar, the stones, Beatles, the Bellamy brothers, unleash the archers, Blondie..... etc

Other than Peter Frampton no one should auto tune ;)
Cher Believe though.... but given the fact she invented auto tune *well one of her producers... *, and it hit number 1 in the US and being she is still the oldest woman to do so.. she was like 53-54 then.
I listen to pretty much anything, though country and rap/hip-hop are less interesting to me. My dad was big on classic rock so that's a rather large portion. I used to be afraid to let people know that I liked other stuff (because expectations, I guess?). After high school (well, towards the end) and especially in college I started caring less what people thought of the music I liked; one song that really got to me in college was "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato.
Anyways, I listen to pretty much everything from Paramore, Guns 'N Roses, Halestorm, Avenged Sevenfold, etc. to Sia, Jessie J, Demi Lovato, etc. to various electronic and video game music to Twenty One Pilots to music from Japan and Anime and so many other things. If I like it, I like it. I love singing along whenever I'm alone too (I'm super shy about it, though I would not mind someone pushing me out of that comfort zone; I forced myself to make some youtube videos of me singing before [one was an April Fools joke video for the Mario Paint Composer community, and I shared one other on facebook], but those I've hidden for a while now).
Paramore is kind of a guilty pleasure for me. I adore Haley Williams and love her voice, but the music is a little too teeny bopper for me to really get into all of the time. Decode and Ain't it Fun are probably my favorites.

Or maybe T-Pain, at least when he's working with Lonely Island. ;D
Doo Wop is my favorite. Anything that rocks from 1955 to 1972 is just fine with me. I am 67 years old and this music defined my generation.
I prefer rock, metal, electronic (or mix of these) and classical stuff. I grew up with musicians, music teachers and people who started their own bands in the 70s and 80s, my parents were both in some kind of bands after leaving school and played guitars, that's how they met.
I was into metal when I left home, that's never changed, but I like a lot of new experimental/nostalgia inspired electronic stuff that's been coming out lately. Probably listen to that and rock mostly.
Least like (current) pop, rap, R&B.
I listen to mostly everything. I've been into electronic music since i was like 10 and this past year ive been really getting into hip-hop. Acts such as DJ Koze, Daft Punk, DJ Shadow, Sasha and Digweed, Hot Since 82, The Avalanches, Mac Miller, Mac Demarco, MGMT, Kendrick Lamar, Joey Badass, Gary Clark jr., Alvvays, Jamie XX, Odesza, Daedelous, The Twelves, Muse, RL Grime, Justice, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Tame Impala, Beach House, CRNKIN, Gesaffelstein, Cage the Elephant, Foster the People, Grouplove, Metronomy, The Growlers, STRFKR, OUTKAST, Tyler the Creator, Chance the Rapper, Underworld, Chicano Batman, Selena, Pink Floyd, Santana, Chet Faker, Bonobo, Stanton Warriors, The Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Alabama Shakes, St. Vincent, SBTRKT, Flamingosis, Solomon, Kaytranada and Jan Blomqvist to name a few. I really like music haha.
