EDIT: If you are one of those who like hip hop, pick rap. :facepalm:
If you are one of those who likes screamo, pick metal.
If you picked other, explain why and list a band you like etc.

Ok you get the idea. I am basically doing this poll to see what music people like the most, which I already know. So it is just for fun. Also, list a favorite band you like.

Favorite genre? Broadly "rock"; more specifically the 90s era aesthetic alternative. (That is to say, 90s alternative, and the current bands who embrace that general tone).

Anyway, favorite band of the genre (and over all):
SONIC YOUTH live SUGAR KANE - YouTube

Favorite current band embracing the aesthetic:
speedy ortiz - basketball @ great scott, allston 4/9/2012 - YouTube
(And because the live quality is so-so, here's a direct link to the bandcamp:

Sonic Youth. Amazing band.
