- Music Preferences
- Mostly rock varieties from classics and up to indie and post-rock on one hand and melodic death and black metal on the other. Also, orchestral music, trip-hop, new age, downtempo, instrumental music, even some old pop music. Sometimes electronics, d'n'b, dubstep. Basically, rap and hip-hop are the only genres I cannot appreciate.
