i don't know... most people from liverpool listen to the charts and like, lady gaga lol.
dance music and mcing
musical
these days, i would say a mixture of musical styles can be heard in liverpool. obviously, in the past, the beatles' music was very popular and it still gets played in liverpool. the younger kids tend to like dance music, but even they still seem to know the words to beatles songs as they are played in the town center all the time for tourists, etc. plus, we have the matthew street festival that features a lot of liverpool bands playing over the weekend. (if you google matthew street festival liverpool, you should be able to get more information on this festival; it's held yearly in liverpool.)
diverse
beatles are different from echo and the bunnymen, different from real thing, etc. no real defined 'style'.
