i did not categorize them.. for me, the music seems to converge into one single entity, rather than genres going diffrent ways..

as a kid, i loved the guitar sound of dire straits - until i was 11..
sex pistols were the first band to break me away from the mainstream..

followed by my metal phase which lasted for 2 years or so with megadeth and slayer..

then i discovered sonic youth and pixies around the same time - i was 13 - and that defined music for me for the rest of my life..
