And, I want to ask you one more question...
I heard western music have so many genre and all songs are classified strictly. Actually, I don’t know how many genre are there and what kind of music is classified to each genre, so please tell me about genre and why they are classified so strictly.

R&B and Hip-Hop.
I will use songs from other genres too if they capture my interest.

R&B Hip-Hop Trap House (Chicago, Tropical, Electro, Progressive, etc) Dance Alt/Rock Alternative
...Basically everything except for certain Pop (J and K Pop, etc), Heavy Metal and their sub-genres, and 75% of Country music. I will say I'm not bias towards anything since all kinds of sh!t interests me.

Genre doesn't really matter that much to me. I'll listen to any song as long as I like it.
However, If I had to choose my favorite genres, they'd probably be pop, electronic, alternative, country, and R&B. Pop and alternative have the highest plays. Definitely my least favorite genre is screamo.

My favorite is Country, but lately I've been leaning way more towards Classic Rock and older Pop music. I'll listen to anything that catches my ear sonically, but I'm partial to great lyrics. Metal and Rap are really the only genres I don't keep up with, although I'm open to trying anything.

I lean mostly towards R&B. Love pop and dance music though. Hip-hop/rap as well. Any kind of rhythmic based music... if I can tap my foot to it, I'm in a good place. When it comes to rock music, I prefer the more dance-punk, glam or garage type bands. But there's a ton of classic rock I like. Love singer-songwritery types, so folk, pop folk, lite rock, california style rock music especially. I love adult contemporary music as well, nothing like a good cheesy ballad every now and then.
I will seriously listen to almost anything. I'm not a big fan of heavy metal or death metal, just doesn't do it for me. And country music has been in the gutter for decades, since the 70's pretty much. But every now and then a country artist breaks through that I like. Lean more towards bluegrass now because it's more authentic and not nearly as gimmicky IMO.

I like just about everything. There's good music in every genre IMO.
My favorite is, and probably always be, Soul. I love it and its subgenres. Then R&B, Rock and pop. In that order. I also love jazz, trip hop, electronic, reggae, disco, hip hop, alternative, funk, AC, latin, old-school metal – actually, the more old-school the music (I'm talking pre-00's) the better for me, regardless of genre – I like some country too, some gospel... The ony styles of music I really can't get into so far are trap, J-pop & K-pop, and dream-pop.

I go through phases, but generally I enjoy something from most genres from about 1975 onwards.
My favorite genre is probably pop music, because enjoy the craftsmanship of songwriting and production above all, but I like to consider myself having eclectic taste. Vocals and giant runs have become much less exciting and desirable for me over the years. The more interesting production tricks in a record, the more likely I'll enjoy it. I'm also really inclined to rhythmic music, and generally the thing I pay the most attention to in music is the drums.

Any genre (except for MOST hard rock/screamo) but most of my playlist consists of pop/Top 40 hits of course.

^ same as him. I can't stand death metal (stuff like KISS, Metallica, etc.). Shoutout to good old-school rock though (Bon Jovi, pretty much anything but Nickelback's more recent music though they had some good tracks back in the day, and going even further back The Beatles, Rolling Stones, etc.) Also not a big fan of country actually although I do like some songs occasionally (Johnny Cash was the s**t!). I like pretty much everything else if it's not like Anaconda or #selfie. I particularly love EDM, Alternative, Pop, and select Hip-Hop (i.e. Eminem). This may have been too descriptive

Basically any mainstream genre, tbh. Favorites are pop/top 40, country, and R&B. Only thing I'm not really a fan of is really hard metal.

Top 3 genres according to iTunes are:
Electronic Pop Hip-Hop/Rap
Most electronic music is from my "hipster" phase though. Not that I don't enjoy it, I just don't actively keep up with the genre anymore. That and it's also an "umbrella" genre.
Lately I've been listening to a lot of R&B, Jazz, and 90s Hip-Hop/House, though. A little Deep House in there too, but there's a lot of that genre I don't care for.
So I guess pop, but I don't think anyone likes just one genre or the other exclusively. Always roll my eyes when someone talks about how eclectic their music taste is. Everyone's is.

Mostly Pop. Lately I have been getting more and more into EDM and enjoy Progressive House and Electro House. Trance, too. I can also enjoy some R&B.
Basically, I love all songs that are catchy and in some way capture my interest so I also listen to songs from several other genres.

Just pop and rock music in general. 60s and 70s, especially later 70s. 80s and 90s were good, a lot of the 20-00s STUNK.
But this decade so far has been the best since the 90s.
Rock on!

If I listen to a song and I didn't quit it in at least one and a half minute, then I'm fine with that song. But if I have to choose, Pop.

Really anything, there's not one genre that I can't or don't listen to. My tastes are rooted in Alternative/Rock music since that's where most of my favorite artists lie, but that doesn't mean I ignore other genres.
