Happy Hardcore has been around for a good 20 years! Its not an age thing
When I was in my early teens Happy Hardcore was the genre of choice at my high school, and it was actually happy hardcore that made me buy my first set of decks and start DJ'ing. It has the odd gem amoungst some very, very, very dodgy stuff. A lot of dutch acts from the early 90's were good fun.
Like the wonderfully name Tokyo Ghetto Pussy .....
I am partial to a bit of dance, hip hop and r&b but nothing even comes close to licking the boots of soul music to me. Loved it since I was 10 years old and it'll be running through my veins when they bury me.
I don't really choose what I like based on genre... What I base it on is whether it sounds new to me, like something I haven't heard before... Innovation is what motivates me to listen to someones music... If I hear a song and it reminds me of someone else I'll go and listen to that someone else in my music collection and forget about the new artist... This is probably why my music collection is quite alternative because alternative acts tend to more experimental... And by alternative I don't mean guitar based "indie" bands. It could be alternative folk/jazz/rock/pop etc. as long as it excites me and has something interesting to offer.
Heartfelt performances also inspire me to buy an artists music, irrespective of genre. If I relate to the lyric or the music moves me in some way I'd be more likely to buy it.

Cool track, might come in useful next time the neighbours have a house party

As hard as it comes.
And anything else that's good.
8bit, although that really is a marmite genre
synthpop
80's pop
70 disco
I'll listen to anything though but thats my main genres
And also a bit of Nerd Pop
My musical tastes cover all the extremes, and a lot of whats in between
