Other: I am also very eclectic. I don't just stick to two types of music. Even though I have a fondness for hardcore and hip hop I do listen to a decent amount of "other" styles aswell. Just because it's not listed, doesn't mean I don't like it. There is a vast chasm of sound out there, if you open your mind you may find something you like that you never thought you would.
