Not an exhaustive list! I started with alternative rock in high school, got into extreme and progressive metal in college, and after college Death Grips got me into Hip Hop and experimental music. The majority of what I listen to will probably always be metal though. I just find it the most consistently enjoyable genre by far.

My favorite is Tool.
