Hackers are people, spread around the world and all social classes. They listen to all types of music.

I would be shocked to find any kind of music that some hacker somewhere doesn't listen to.

Therefore, the question is as meaningless as asking what colour hackers' hair is. Or what they eat.

Also, the idea of HN turning into an endless repetition of the same questions that new people ask all the time because they don't know that they've been asked before proves my point quite thoroughly: it's not a good future for HN.
