I think some of the songs overlap types but okay so? it's whatever

[Gen_ki]

R&B, ballads, and coffee-shop style are my favorites.

[DRIP DROP]

If the song is good I don't really care what type it is

[Big Stupid Jellyfish]

If the song is good I don't really care what type it is

[a(mber)]

what types do voodoo doll/i need u/video game/every monsta x song fit into i just like anything with good bass

[Sully]

Dark/fierce and R&B bop. I like things I can dance to.

[SleepzCat]

Most of this list lol I couldn't just choose one ^-^

[Tiskitosk]

Most types of ballads and rockish type of songs. I also really like all the songs you listed in your description for emotional/angsty yet upbeat so I guess that's one of my favorite types as well

[Nowhere Boy]

Anything up beat

[rayellaz]

any songs that is music to my ears

[halcyon]

i really like r&b meets electronic so i like RV's velvet and also i really like songs like kara's step, f(x)'s airplane just those really feel good bops but i also like shouty bangers like nu abo. i really liked love me right, run, awoo, lupin, rude love too and also all night. LMAO i think i like all types as long as they are good. 

 

just one type of kpop i cannot stand is YG (i know I'm generalizing but it fits mostly) music. it's so noisy and just outdated western pop music. its so loud and i cannot stand how piercing GD's voice is. also i absolutely despised BTS' dope. i don't like that type of music. and to me i am the best sounds like gum stuck on someone's shoe for some reason. terrible.

[ForgottenSoul]

ballad

pop ballad

r&b ballad

 

i love ballads xd

[TaengTaengoo]

i dont like electrnic/edm and meh on rap as a whole... outside of that im usually down for whatever

[nayeon's gf]

exos dark rnb (tell me what is love, black pearl, heart attack, my lady, what if etc)

[SinBeautiful]

Not sure if GFriend qualifies as cutesy, happy, light, or retro, but whatever it is, I'm loving it. 

[bb4]

 

If the song is good I don't really care what type it is

 

[marmar]

 

If the song is good I don't really care what type it is

 

[Schatz]

(korean) pop *duh*, jazz, r&b, edm, indie (hyukoh ftw!), ballads 

[Stepkdramafan226]

If the song is nice to listen to and fun. I tend to take a while to like Ballads, so if I see ballad songs I have a bit of a hesitation to listen to it because...sometimes they are boring. 

 

My favourites mostly fall into is R&B urban Bop and least favorites most of the time fall into the Ballad genre 

[167cms]

Not sure if GFriend qualifies as cutesy, happy, light, or retro, but whatever it is, I'm loving it.
