Mainly minor rock (e.g. Daiki Kasho, Queen) ,traditional rock (e.g. Nirvana, Feeder) and techno (e.g. Pendulum).
There will be war, there will be rebellion,
It's only part of the world we live in,
But we shall always fight for our rights,
and we shall always hold up our chins!
So we will fight for peace,
and all war, we shall cease!

Rhodeve music is divided into two sections: Theater music and Daily Music

Theater Music is any music that people go to see (such as a concert). This tends to be orchestral music and rock bands.
Daily Music is any music that people listen to daily. This tends to again be rock or pop.

Patridians generally only like homegrown music, and they can't understand why everyone around the world listens to such drivel.

Big Band/Easy Listening is the most popular genre, with about 45% the spots (of the past year) on the Pirate! magazine's top 20 list (measures records sales and radio/jukebox playtime)
An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKXKe8Vn4UM
An example of the Easy Listening sort: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goKEjmGIRzg

Pop music takes up about 35% of the spots on the top 20, though it can sometimes be difficult to define it.
An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDe7FF9z418
An example of the 'Doo-Wop' subgenre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz_9r1APwM4

Rock & Roll music is still a 'niche' market of sorts, but it gets a respectable 12.5%
An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dnNSZGiazbs

'County' music rounds it out with about 7.5% of the spots.

Bunkeranlage is famous for its opera halls, as the citizens of Bunkeranlage can be generalised as being avid fans of German opera, particularly those of Wagner. Post-rock is also gaining some popularity in the more urbanised areas of the nation.

We really, really like the opera The Death of Klinghoffer by John Adams to an Alice Goodman libretto. A sublime, transcendent, at times horrifying, fascinating masterpiece that takes an act of banal violence and transforms it into an apotheosis, a moving memorial and thoughtful exploration of humanity and human conduct, a celebration and affirmation of the small things in the face of a world full of unthinkable terror. We simulcast it nationwide every week on all national media and broadcast it via satellite to any country that asks.

Pop is generally quite enjoyed, both KwaDaian and international. Boy bands tend to be very popular as does traditional influenced KwaDaian music.

Musical taste is too diverse for Uelvan to have one or even a small number of genres represent the whole. And we're not about to become a hivemind anytime soon or force feed the people government propaganda music like we did in the Second Republic.

The citizens of Raven Song tend to listen to folk music that pays homage to the land as well as the patron deities and their respective raven companions. Outside of folk music, some of the youth have gotten into folk metal which has gained popularity in recent years.

Some examples:

(Folk Music) --> Sofia Jannok, Irene (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU-np8zS4HQ)

Jazz, Progressive rock and Bossa Nova are very popular with all classes, mostly because they are advertised as "intelligent people music" and eletronic music is becoming very popular with younger people too.
However, most of population prefer listening to foregin musicians, Brasilanos musicians aren't that good.

Popular music genres in the Federal Kingdom:

Thrash metal
Dubstep
Baroque/Classical
Techno
Embassy Program

This nation does reflect my IRL views unless something is more interesting to differ from what I believe otherwise. For example, Welskerland is a constitutional monarchy, while I prefer a republic IRL.
