Many older folks and people out in the country prefer folk and bluegrass styles of music - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyQOCJ4SUSk

In addition to usual popular music (rap, rock, country, etc) which are remnants of American culture, many younger and urban people are fans of folk-rock - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBQZnHv74dQ

Mostly classical and other soft and soothing forms of music that aren't disruptive or discordant. Learning stringed instruments, woodwinds, and vocalizing is a popular pastime and solo artists can often be heard practicing or performing in public to the delight of all. Public concerts in the amphitheater at the capital's park are very well attended and smooth jazz can always be heard in the Hipster District, which is full of coffee houses, antique shops, and record stores. In private, citizens absolutely enjoy anything they wish to from around the globe.

Several, Tanshi music consists of 3 different schools - "Religious", "Patriotic", "Entertainment". (Everyone could have guessed what would those 3 schools of music sound like).

But, for the obvious answer for obvious question, the most popular genres (among the Tanshi youth) in Tanzhiye today are mostly composed of rock music and pop music. Tanshi pop music and rock music, taking cues from J-POP, K-POP (or J-rock or K-rock) is arguably the most popular music genre today. Other music genres had their own fame, such as electronic music and techno, its popularity skyrocketed when Vocaloid singers were introduced. Vocaloid singers are also a thing in Tanzhiye, but only one Tanshi Vocaloid was ever produced. Heavy metal is also a fairly popular genre. Last mention goes to hiphop, gaining fair popularity.

Also, no one cares about dubstep.

In Dymaria it is patriotic music, jazz, pop, soft rock, and the B-tles (the Beatles, but we Dymarians demand them being called the B-tles.). Country music was banned by our former president Carl Karkles.

After the apocalypse, classical and alternative music became pretty popular than pop or rap because it explained goodly what humanity suffered there and a struggle.

Traditional Middle Eastern Jewish music, religious hymns (both Jewish and Christian), jazz, classical, and ambient are all popular genres.

The derivative and foul pop music of the west is frowned upon and officially condemned by the Kingdom's Ministry of Culture.

Indigenous music here is popular, mostly because of our isolation. It is considered classical or even pop music for us. We also have a mixture of musical genres like indigenous rock music, part of modern neo-New Yngen culture.

Dutch Mualenia is known for it's slower variant of Gamelan ensemble music which refugees from Bali and Java brought to the island group, and the ethnic Dutch population tends to listen to traditional Dutch music.

Besides that, Surinamese-styled music is strangely enough really popular and is common on the radio and performed in clubs, tourist hotels etc.

Heavily influenced by the active nightlife and club scene of the island, the music scene is populated by large house and (funky) disco genre artists.

This song has been doing quite well for a while now.

Americana pop (50's, 60's, 80's and now), country, folk, traditional styles of music are all popular. Fusion of these genres is also good, too.
