Oh, my, I think the huge issue is there is too much to choose from now. If I was being introduced to music now I would be insane. Since I'm older we would only hear music as it was being created and limited on the radio...albums came out slowly, not every few minutes. So we had a lot of time to absorb the music, figure what we liked, sitting with the album and listening to the music over and over. BUT that doesn't help you here. Here is a thought...start at the beginning...look up videos from the 70s and see if a genre hits you, if not, try the 80s, then the 90s, etc. You may go down rabbit holes but hopefully you can pin down what moves you. You may like one band for 6 months and then never listen to them again but what the heck.
