Hey, I live in the UK, so I don't know about the US. So I wanted to ask what kind of music do people aged 11+ listen to?

Nobody likes Beiber or Gaga.

I personally enjoy Hip-hop/Rap. I know many people who enjoy metal.

Um, excuse me? Generalization alert, here.
Remember all those screaming fangirls?
I don't mind Justin Bieber himself, but I hate his popularity; it's all fake.

Most of the pop we have now is like, all Autotune, club beats, rap, and swearing. And then there's Lil' Wayne...

Lol.

I don't get why people hate Justin Bieber. I don't hate him nor do i hate his music. I dislike his music. I don't listen to those kind of songs, but seriously according to you guys. This kid is singing crappy songs for MILLIONS of bucks. I rather sing a song about love and get a **** load of screaming fans and money than sit here and waste my time hatin' certain type of singers.

Crunkcore/sl*twave like Kesha, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry and the like, mainstream rap, pop-alt-rock like Coldplay and OneRepublic, and techno/house like deadmau5 are all really popular at my school. Of course, I like none of those DX

I used to be like, addicted to them half a year ago until I started listening to prog and metal. They're far, far better than most things people choose to hear nowadays.

Anyhow, I don't live in the US, but here in Mexico the popular music seems to be very similar, except metal is hated merciless. I have gained an "emo" reputation just for listening to it T_T. Heck, you gain bad reputation if you listen to anything that isn't alt-pop or mainstream Pop/Hip Hop that everyone listens to D:<

That's for sure. I'm disliked because I don't listen to rap. Honestly, it gives me a headache. If you can talk fast and rhyme at the same time. You're a pro. That's like choosing Lil' Wayne over Iron Maiden...

I was just using that as a personal reference. To me, that would just be a retarded choice, but I do know some people really like Lil' Wayne and rap. I'm not a hater, just stating my opinion.

If you were using statistics, that would be a better way of saying it. In an off-topic kinda way.
