Start:
Rock/Alternative (RATM was the first CD I ever bought... still have it for a little nostalgia)
Rap
Chicago House (Bad Boy Bill's Bangin the Box 3 was the first EDM CD I ever bought)
Random mislabelled Napster music
Random downloaded Tiesto CD (Magik VI)

Now:
Everything except gabber... Christ that stuff annoys me.

___________________

rap music-> grunge->rap music-> trance-> prog-> increasingly more rap

from about 10-12 years old: anything on the radio (but i noticed interest in synthpop (check out ishkurs guide lol) )

then pop

some soft rock eg. linkin park

cheesy edm played on the radio (at that time all i knew was it "techno" and only listened to it to be cool )

r&b/hip hop and rap (again probably to be cool)

more cheesey trance eg. mos

then i discovered what REAL TRANCE was and i fell in love (been 2 years since then )

right now im starting to like progressive trance and tech-trance
but i mainly like melodic/uplifting trance

so yer i had some edm in me since i was born (from the synthpop), i just never discovered my passion for it until recently

Hmm... Roughly goes:

Passive interest in mainstream dance
Strong interest in mainstream dance
Euphoria comp leading to trance
Hard trance
Prodigy
Electronica
All forms of EDM
Starting to get into rock a lot more now.

But I haven't stopped liking any of it- I could easily listen to every CD I've bought and still like them all.
