I took no offense my Friend. My Musical taste is very eclectic even though I do skew more towards some genres than others. But, I don't "follow" music if that makes sense. Whats popular, whats not etc holds little interest for me. Plus I don't frequent Clubs either :p
By "popular" do you mean actual "pop music" or music that just happens to currently be popular?
My and my friend's taste in music goes across pretty much every genre (soul, funk, blue n soul, RnB, hip-hp, rap, rock, classical, jazz, EDM, house, garage, dubstep). Really depends on my mood at the time what i like to listen to.
Although I fully understand that clubland is not for everyone, although you're missing out
(although I'm not sure what American clubs are like compared to European clubs.
