struggling with this and idk if its been asked befor4 but what music do u think mello and matt are into? i could probably gauge genres but specific artists are evading me
i'm answering this in a way that's probably way dated for most people right now because m2 were born in 1989-1990 and died in 2010, and also it would be much more of an anthropological answer than a specific one based on where they were growing up.
always saw mello as being into classical music (wagner, tchaikovsky) as a studying tool and a focus tool. i think in his youth too - because he came to age when he was in the uk - he was into 70s rock, post-punk, synthwave, especially english bands. big into david bowie, roxy music, t rex. pet shop boys, new order, depeche mode, the smiths. i could see him enjoying or briefly dipping into industrial metal as well like rammstein.
matt is the classic pop-punk and nu metal imo, blink-182, green day, linkin park, limp bizkit. and ironic bands like ween, bloodhound gang, weezer. and the classic butt-rock-lite stuff like red hot chili peppers and sublime. definitely was big into eminem as well. i personally think his age makes him slightly too old to be into emo, but i see him being sort of listening to everything, and being into anything that pops up. also obviously esp in the late 2000's around the time of his death he was probably listening to vocaloid and electronic japanese anime or rhythm game songs.
i think based on where, when and how they grew up (in my personal headcanon) that would make most sense.
