Anyway, I really dislike the common question "what kind of music are you into?"

Talking about musical tastes is great, but the question presumes that preference can be reduced to like, a handful of genre categories.

What's much more interesting to me is what abstract aspects of a musical style someone finds most compelling.

Killer grooves? Lyrical inventiveness and complexity? Reminds you of the sensations of being fifteen and infatuated, or makes you feel a sense of timeless eternity? Creates a background soundscape, or demands full attention? Those kinds of questions.
