    Default Single Genre or Broad Range?

    When you listen to music, do you find yourself drawn to the same genre over and over again or do you tend to listen to music from several different genres?

    I noticed that I tend to listen to music from the same genre for a week or so, until I tire of it. Then I'll move onto another genre and the cycle repeats.

    I listen to a pretty wide range of genres, but what I will do is hook onto a certain song for a week or two and listen to it over and over again and then completely get sick of it and move on to another song. That's probably a bad habit though cause I end up hating songs that I used to really like.

    I do something similar. As a musician I have a wide range of tastes, but I'll listen to a song on repeat forever until I've ruined it for myself.

    I tend to find it harder to ruin classical music. Not because it's better or worse than popular, but because the pieces are longer.

    I usually listen to a few types of music, but there's sometimes a suggestion from a friend for something I don't normally listen to.

    I usually listen to a few different genres, but I'll fixate on one for a while until I get bored with it, then I'll cycle through genres.

    Depends on my mood. When I'm working I tend to listen to one genre, if not I stick the playlist on random and listen to anything and everything that I have.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!

    I poke my privates into a few genres now and then, usually on friend recommendation, but I usually stick to fluffy pop music that enhances my stereotype.

    Depends on my mood. Sometimes I'll just want to listen to ambient, sometimes indie, sometimes rap, sometimes just death metal, idk what I'm going to be into from one moment to the next. That's why I really need an mp3 player with humongous capacity.

    I listen to metal more than any other genre, followed by progressive rock, but apart from those two genres I have a wide variety of stuff that I'll listen to, though most of it is tangentially related to rock. My music taste, like Liz's, is highly unpredictable though; it varies depending on moods.

    I listen to a lot of genres! My music tastes have changed a lot in just the past two years, and pretty much the only thing I don't listen to is country (just can't get into it for some reason!) and most music from before 1990 xD

    Like you, I'll listen to one genre for about 3 days-a week, then I'll switch.

    Yeah, I like to listen to certain genres for a few days then move on. But also, I always listen to entire albums from start to finish, I hardly ever listen to single tracks.

    I've been told I have an eclectic taste in music. Hell I mean, right now I'm listening to The Platters. But honestly, I do listen to alot of genres, and in the way that Flying Mullet decribes. I'd listen to rap maybe for a couple of weeks straight, then trance and so on.
