Top 10 Favorite Music Genres of Your Parents

This list is supposed to be like a small survey. Some people tend to like the music genres of their parents, some - don't.
My original remix doesn't represent the favorite music genres of my parents because I didn't make this list for myself. It is a combination of the most popular genres because I wanted to make voting and remixing easier.
You can add genres and subgenres that describe your parents' music taste better. You can tell us whether the music you like is similar to your parents' favorite music or not. You can share if your parents like the same or different genres.
The Top Ten
1 Pop

My mom likes some 70s and 80s pop. I just don't care for much pop music in general, though I find this to be a lot better than the modern pop.

I don't like it unless my mom plays it.

2 Classic Rock

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones...

3 Country

My mom loves Country Music and I can't stand it.

Both of my parents love country. I hate it.

5 Hard Rock Hard Rock is a subgenre of rock music known for having heavier guitar riffs/solos. It originated around 1964-1965 with various Garage Rock bands.

Well, my parents like classic rock more, but they also like some hard rock, which is probably why I like it. I like to listen to metal as well though, and my parents don't like it whatsoever. So some of my music tastes are different.

6 Rap
7 Electronic
8 Folk
9 Classical
10 Blues Blues is a music genre and musical form originated by African Americans in the Deep South of the United States around the end of the 19th century.

My dad likes it.

The Contenders
11 Metal

My dad loves Metallica Megadeth and Rob Zombie

My parents don't like it at all sadly.

12 Indie Rock

My dad is OBSESSED with indie music

13 Jazz
14 Britpop Britpop is a UK based music and culture movement in the mid 1990s which emphasised "Britishness", and produced bright, catchy pop music partly in reaction to the US led grunge music and the UK's own shoegazing music scene.
15 Alternative Rock Alternative rock is a style of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. In this instance, the word "alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream rock music.

Yes. 99.99999% of what my dad listens to is either Octane or Lithium. Which gets boring fast. Everything almost sounds the same. Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Alice In Chains, etc. To be honest I prefer newer alternative rock bands, such as One Republic and Imagine Dragons, but alternative rock from the 90s sounds very uninteresting to me, but that's just my opinion. -CandyBlood13

16 Pop Rock Pop rock is a form of rock music where it emphasises more on recording craft and songwriting than the attitude. Commonly known as an alternative to rock and roll.
17 Progressive Rock Progressive rock is a broad genre of rock music that developed in the United Kingdom and United States throughout the mid to late 1960s.

My uncle likes Prog Rock. His favorite bands are Jethro Tull, Kansas, Genesis, Queen, and Rush.

18 Grunge Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is a subgenre of alternative rock and a subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s.
19 Pop Punk
20 Punk Punk rock is a subgenre of rock music. It usually has rebellious lyrics and down stroked power chords played on guitars. Bad Religion, Sex Pistols, and Green Day (actually pop-punk, which is still punk in a way) are a few punk rock bands. The subgenre influenced thrash metal because of it's down stroked guitar playing and other factors.
21 Glam Rock
22 Smooth Jazz
23 Chanson

This is lyric-driven French songs, usually polyphonic and secular. This is one of the favorite genres of my mother and grandmother (it is so soft, poppy and grandma-friendly, hehe).

24 Gospel
25 Funk Funk is a music genre that originated in African-American communities in the mid-1960s when African-American musicians created a rhythmic, danceable new form of music through a mixture of soul music, jazz, and rhythm and blues (R&B).
