I literally cannot stop

Music is very subjective so it’s hard to rank anyone’s taste as “best” or “worst” without insulting a genre that someone loves. Instead I’ll list what I think the Mane 6’s music tastes look like!

Twilight Sparkle: Listens to classical music while studying and considers herself smart for knowing a lot about it, but now that she has friends and is more social she also loves dancey pop music! Jamming out to songs like “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” in the dorky way she does

Applejack: Obviously loves country music, but I think she prefers the “old country” and country music up through the 90s for the most part. The modern songs about drinking beer and driving trucks get old because she can tell a lot of those folks don’t actually work on a farm. She prefers good old honest storytelling

Pinkie Pie: She has a lot in common with Twilight in that she loves music that makes her dance! Whatever gets a good party started is her jam, including disco, techno pop, children’s music, and other kinds of pop tunes. Anything that’s fun and upbeat

Fluttershy: Having canonically joined an acapella group, she definitely loves those kinds of artists (like Pentatonix). She also has a very Disney Princess style of singing so I could see those soundtracks being part of her taste too (including a bit of musical theatre perhaps!) I also find it funny to imagine her listening to hard rock music when she has frustrations to work through

Rarity: I’m partial to the headcanon that she listens to Marina, but to go more broadly I think Rarity loves artists that are creatively inspiring. That is, who are colorful, fun, and break barriers (she’d draw inspiration from the likes of Lady Gaga and Chappell Roan). Sometimes she also needs music she can have a good cry to, so she has plenty of breakup anthems on her playlist

Rainbow Dash: Canonically seems to be into rock music, and would also probably be into breakcore-type tunes. Her music taste is basically whatever can get her hyped up for a fast-paced workout. Most of the time she doesn’t listen to the lyrics or finds songs with no lyrics, but she is into some awfully “edgy” artists like Hollywood Undead just because she thinks it makes her cool

I also made a base you can use for free with credit just please don’t use it for anything harmful
