My boyfriend's mates expected me to be some neon junkie raver before they met me, but were pleasantly surprised to find I'm not a one-trick pony. I love drum/drill and bass and psytrance but I love pretty much everything else too. Metal, jazz, blues, funk, soul, punk, post-punk, classical, alternative, shoegaze, folk. That being said though the only country I like is Johnny Cash and I've yet to find anything in emo/screamo that I enjoy. I also have a hearty dislike for most modern indie bands (partly because most sound the same to me and partly because of the sycophants who hang around in tiny pubs watching them because if the band ever makes it big they can be pretentious wankers about the whole thing); give me The Smiths, Suede, The Stone Roses etc any day.
