Let's start out with a general topic.

Best genre ever, and why. (Bands, songs, culture etc.)

Punk.
It inspired so many great musicians and the culture was rebellious and anti-establishment. There is a side for mature and immature people. Like Shakespeare, it appealed to everyone.
Also, Kurt Cobain.

My perspective:
Metal, man. nothing's more hard, more motivated and more drunk than metal. it winds you up and then settles you down. examples: Metallica, Megadeth...

society's common perspective:
Blues. they are the grand daddy of music, hands down.

Rock
I say rock because the lyrics hold some sort of meaning, and has some great music composition. Its also easy listening unlike with todays popular music were you take some kids give em instruments and tell them to wail on them for 3 to 7 minutes and call that a song. I.e The Beatles, Rush, Queen, Journey

I would say jazz shares that title with blues.

None and all because their will always be someone else you will always gladly defend their favorite genere no matter how well your argument.

Wait. What? You might want to check your grammar bro. I can't even make out what you are trying to convey.

Im trying to say theres always going to be someone else that wont agree with you simply because their influence's on music are different. Nice smily btw

yeah jazz too

I, of course, would say country, because it's orgins go way back. It was one of the very first styles of music. Rock n' Roll also came from Country music, as well as Dansband. Im also a very lyrical person, and Country, unlike many other styles of music, have a lot of very deep meanings in its lyrics. Ive always loved the sound of a fiddle and a steel guitar too.
