Mostly I play in the “music” genre. I do dabble occasionally in the “noise” genre, however.

My band hasn't really done much in term of our own playing but I usually play rock, not really standard rock music bass playing but that's where my playing usually lies. I'm going to expand beyond what I normally play though to get different ideas and apply it to my take on rock bass playing.
JTE: I wouldn't say that genres are only useful for selling. Once I get a grasp on what a genre about and the sub genres it has to defy some of the main takes on the genre, it's get easier to find the music I want to find. Now, obviously there is going to inaccurate labeling for certain sounds that I might try to find. What most people consider emo for example is typically not even derived or influenced from the original groups of the sub genre such as Rites of Spring.

I'm playing modern rock, pop, classic rock, funk, jazz, punk, R&B, blues, metal, and classic rock.
So, whatever happens to catch my goat at the time.
Right now, old-school punk, so that's what I voted for.
