There's Classical, baroque, modern, theatrical, pop/rock, as well as music from all over the world, for example, salsa, samba, and Chinese styled. There's orchestral, concerto's, chamber, duets, trios, quartets and groups. The list is almost never - ending. The question need to be much more specific.

Emo screamo, Hardcore screamo, Metal, Pop rock, Rock, Hardcore rock, Hardcore metal, Soft rock, Punk, Hardcore punk, Pop punk, Jazz, Emo, and Rap!! :) Ps. My favorite is Hardcore screamo and Metal! ;) Tehe and that would be 14 different types!...

What a pity this poor guy has never heard of Classical Music, which can be sub-divided into numerous "types", all of which can be accessed on the internet, and all of which are far superior to the mindless rubbish listed above.
