Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Most styles of electronic music (Hardstyle, Trance, Electro Swing, Latino House, Psytrance, Synthwave, Retrowave etc.), Jazz, Reggae, Country, Epic and Classical music...

Literary and movie genres I really like are for example sci-fi, historical novel, satire, dystopia or drama.

I don't have that much time to read fiction however because I like reading loads of specialized articles and books focused on geopolitics, philosophy, history, and science... :D
