I listen to almost anything and I recognise most of these artists.
My listening habits are “pretty much anything but country, rap/hiphop/r&b, and the extreme side of metal”. Which means I listen to classical (Chopin is the shit), most pop music, some metal, industrial, retrowave, 80/90’s, “oldies” (pre-80’s… Shout out to the playmates), etc, etc.
I also listen to some country, mainly stuff that has more substance than “truck” and “beer”. I draw the line with metal when I can’t understand the singer anymore, which, I’m sorry to my metal friends but a lot of the screaming/growling lyrical contributions fall into this category. I just don’t “get” the music so I’m not a fan.
With rap/hiphop/r&b, the same rules apply for lyrical content as country (more or less), except with the concepts of getting/being rich (and/or bragging about the things you have), and guns/crime… I guess?
Admittedly, those country/rap/hiphop/R&B exceptions still exclude a vast majority of the genres.
I’m game for pretty much anything else.
I still casually pop on some Backstreet boys, or Garth Brooks, or Eminem… Meanwhile I spend a good amount of time listening to the likes of vnv nation, Skrillex, electric cowboy, Gorillaz, 3TEETH, etc (the list is very long).
What I pick to listen to is highly dependent on my mood.

I listen to a lot of Cash. I like some country. Crosby Stills and Nash etc.
I don’t mind cash, but country isn’t a genre I dip into very often.
