All the crowds queuing for Emo bands and the like seem to be mostly gurls. Amy and Lily and Mika and the other falling-behind-the-zeitgeist (see previous poptimist, er, 'thread'??) seem all quite girly audienced.

Yes there's lots of pop stuff for the young ladies, but... what are young men boys listening to these days?

As I said in t'other thread to katstevens, from my dodgy demographic evidence, the boiz at Aberystwyth like the following-

-Wobbly indie like A Silver Mt. Zion etc.
-Justice and Simian Mobile Disco and Sebastien et al
-Hard trance, techno, drum and bass, psy trance, etc.
-Metal but they think Bullet For My Valentine are metal so NEVERMIND
-Metal which is actually metal
-Bright Eyes, Elliot Smith, Jack Johnson, Sufjan Stevens etc. BORING BORING BORING
-Welsh language rap (Pepe Le Pew etc.)
-Trip Hop eg: Mr Scruff
-Pop music eg: Girls Aloud, Amy Winehouse, Steps, etc. Not just "the gays," either.
-CHEESE. Oh god I have never heard so much Bon Jovi etc. I had forgotten all about this! It is what boys really like I suspect.
-Angry rap music.

All of those groups intermix because Aber is largely free of prejudice except we really do hate
