Punk, Indie, Hip Hop, Jazz Rap/Jazz, Piano renditions of music, you name it
and to answer that last question, both. I like a lot of the instrumentation in J-core related music, but Western Post-hardcore and Deathcore hits that sweet spot.

Due to the heavy physical, emotional and life background, j-rock is on the second plan at the moment, or rather took a break. At the helm again drum ānā bass, different genres, different moods, different degrees of emotionality and stiffness.
From liquid-funk to Boxplot, recently released his first full-fledged album, mmmmm, just a fairy tale. I advise to listen to his second EP Alice (also donāt forget about the track of inspiration for this EP āMy Non-Existent Friend, Aliceā) and the first EP Tramontane.
Continuing the theme of liquid music, it is of course Feint and childhoodā¦ Oh, like now I remember waking up at 5 am in order to play a couple of hours before school in MMORPG, in PVP to kill other players x)) Played a lot of Feint back then.
Letās move on to the dancing, mainstream part of DnB. Itās MUZZ and Metrik, both released great LPs in 2020 - looped tracks, albums that tell a coherent story, just the way I like it.
And then letās move on to the hardness and power, we have in Russia quite a lot of guys who write good neuro-funk. My favorites are of course Magnetude - a duo of a Russian and a British guy. We are waiting for LPās from them, we are content with singles so far, as hard disks unfortunately tend to die and take all necessary info with them to the next worldā¦ Eh.
This is of course only a small list of who I listen to more often. Favorites so to speak. But I definitely recommend Andromedik, Blue Marble, Zardonic, Wilkinson, Voicians, V O E, Toronto Is Broken, The Qemists, The Prototypes, T & Sugah, Sub Focus, Sound In Noise, Smooth, Sigma, ShockOne, Rusty K (solo project of our guy from Magnetude), Receptor (also from Russia), Rameses B, Protostar, Polygon, Phonetic, Pendulum (these are classics, you should know it), Netsky, NCT, Nais, Murdock, Mewone! , Memtrix, Mazare, Matrix & Futurebound (scattered, they write music individually under their pseudonyms), Mage (also our guy, very positive liquid-funk music mostly, too x)), Maduk, Madface, Lexurus, Letās Play! - Demik - Cyber Forms (one project leader and member of many projects, however sometimes slack off unfortunately), Koven, Kove, Justin Hawkes aka Flite, Jon Void, Jack Mirror, Itro, Invermere (a couple of tracks, but what tracks, ugh), Hybrid Minds (this is it, the classic loose, relaxing liquidā¦ ), Gancher & Ruin (our two twin brothers), From94 and Clovd Cvp (there are some good tracks, the same by our guys, but alas they keep quiet), Friction, Fred V & Grafix (another one scattered on solos, IMHO, for nothing), Fox Stevenson (very positive vocals), Fourward, Flowidus, Fatloaf, Etherwood, Ekko & Sidetrack, Dualistic, Dimension, Deuce & Charger, Despersion, Delta Heavy, Culture Shock, ChaseR, Cartoon, Camo & Krooked, Brookes Brothers, BCee, Andy C, 1991, Cyantific (though he recently announced the end of his creative activities). Also I canāt help mentioning Celldweller and his alter ego Scandroid (rock, metal, retro-wave and DnB all in one, plus a lot of remixes), just for fun.
Fuuuuuh, I donāt seem to have forgotten anyone, if I have, Iāll add more. Iāll be glad to chat in private on whether youāve found something for yourself in general or itās absolutely not your genre) Also glad to discuss listened, exchange and search for new music discoveries))

Starting with Japan based genres/artists, I enjoy various J-Rock and J-Pop artists like Gesu No Kiwami Otome, Polkadot Stingray and Fujii Kaze to name a few.
Besides that Iām mostly a Metalhead and an active listener to about 40-50 subgenres of Metal like Progressive Death Metal, Metalcore, Deathcore, Melodic Black Metal, just to name a few.
Outside of metal, Iām a big Modern Jazz/Fusion fan, and occasionally listen to other genres like Pop, Hiphop and Funk that combine with Modern Jazz.
Iām more a fan of music played with instruments. Most genres of electronic music donāt do an awful lot for me, with the exception of (Psy)Trance which I almost never listen to in my spare time, but do enjoy in a party setting about 3 times a year.

I posted this elsewhere, but Iāll throw in my Top 5 for jazz/jazz-fusion/funk for 2022:
Louis Cole - Quality Over Opinion
DOMi & JD BECK - NOT TiGHT
Anomalie - Galerie
Julian Lage - View With A Room
Vulfpeck - Schvitz
Also got into Kiefer this year, but his most recent album was in mid-late 2021.

Hell yeah this is great! Didnāt know Anomalie and Julian Lage. Both really nice, but especially Anomalie Iām gonna check out more!
My music tastes come and go in waves, mostly I switch between kpop and metal/vkei but every once in a while I throw in some late 90s and 00s Western pop and anime/animated movie osts (Cowboy Bepop soundtrack has some great songs and the Tarzan soundtrack is unironically a banger. Also, Deliver Us from Prince of Egypt is one of the best opening songs for a movie Iāve ever heard) and different types of electronic music.
Iām terrible at distinquishing different genres, so mostly I go for whatever has a good beat or nice vocals. If anything, one genre I absolutely canāt stand is Finnish schlager music (iskelmƤ).
Does metal have 50 sub-genres? O.o
I mostly listen to vkei bands, but besides that i listen to:
-Folk punk/HC punk
-Death metal/Black metal/DSBM
-Aggrotech/Post-industrial
-Deathrock
-Dungeon synth
Those might be the genres i listen to the most but i really listen to whatever i like.

It probably depens on which person you ask, but there are like micro sub genres of Metal. So for example, you can have Metal > Death Metal > Melodic Death Metal > Technical Melodic Death Metal, and you can do this with a lot of sub genres of Metal
Besides that, thereās probably a combi Metal band for almost every other genre there is haha, so like Jazz Metal, Funk Metal, Ska Metal, you name it
