- This man definitely likes rock from the 80-90s, alternative rock/metal and nu metal, he needs to feel his sorrow through music, where he feels it's not just him going through it—a way to express without saying anything (I'm adding a bit of modern songs that really fit him, but he would 90% of the time hear music from his time).
- There's times where's he's melancholic, where he will listen to Numetal and Alternative rock. When he's in a darker headspace he will listen to more intense rock or metal. He doesn't have a favorite band, he listens to different songs from different bands.
- He almost never remembers the name of the band he listens to, sometimes he can't remember the name, just the lyrics— Unless it's a song he listens for years.
- He doesn't stream, he downloads it— Definitely has tiny box filled with CD's in his car. He calls them "classics", it's what he used to hear when he was younger or when he was a teen.
- Scars by Papa Roach.
- Closer to Habit by Allele.
- Coming undone by Korn.
- Inside out by eve6.
- 505 by Arctic Monkeys.
- A Little Death by TNH.
- Risk by Deftones, Entombed, Knife Prty.
- Numb by Linkin Park.
- All Apologies by Nirvana, Breed, Something in the Way, Heart shaped box, Smells like teen Spirit.
- He listens when he's driving, after a mission, and definitely when taking a shower sometimes.
- He listens to music mostly after a mission, it distracts him, making the volume loud enough to drown his thoughts.
- He definitely doesn't share his taste in music nor talk about it, and if someone asks, he'll just say he listens to rock— just the genre, nothing more.
- He feels like music is a bit of a way to feel and express his emotional side, so if someone is recognizing his emotional state, he begins to feel self conscious.
- He felt insecure about it even when you found out his taste in music more deeply, but it turned out alright. You try not to talk or mention much about it so that he feels comfortable when talking about it.
- When it's you, he experiments your taste in music, even if it's drastically different— Definitely knowing your favorite songs.
- He lets you pick songs, observes your reaction to each one of them. Sometimes he would take notes and recognize a few.
- He's definitely into dates where you guys would go to bars with live music. But he wouldn't go drinking, more to spend time with you in a place he's used to visiting.
- He once had interest in playing guitar, but he lost interest and time over the years.
- He hums and sings very low to himself sometimes, he could definitely sing some songs but he thinks he would just embarrass himself— so he ends up not even trying.
- He loves observing you, staring, looking at you — so he would enjoy seeing and hearing you sing.
- In the middle of missions and after missions, he would hum the same songs and even play them, just because you sang them, because it reminds him of you.
- HE WOULD download an audio of you singing! Stupid or not, he would chuckle or just enjoy listening when he misses you or just wants to pass time.
- If you made a playlist for him, he wouldn't say much about it but would definitely hear it from time to time, to know how you see him— Which in his eyes, surprisingly really well.
- Not really that related to music, but he loves the sound of rain, it's quiet, steady and isolating— it's peaceful in a way.
