To me any decent musician is a combination of genres. Genres should be afterthoughts, or marketing scams like Grunge, Nu Metal and Emo.

Better question would be what are your favorite genres, and which do you pull musical inspiration from?

On that line favorite genres:
Electro Industrial,
Dark Electro hip hop,
old school new wave synth music,
NY Noise,
Hardcore punk,
Death Metal, (Metal in general except the 80's hair stuff)
Krautrock,
Breakcore,
IDM etc.

What I write in the style of is probably more Electro industrial, Krautrock, punk.

Alternative (rock/shoegaze/britpoppish), Alternative (electro/electronic with IDMish and ambient overtones), Old Skool electro (i.e. JMJ, early Human League before the chicks, various messing around with analog type sounds and buttons and old drum machine sounds), Industrial/Rock/Goth (helping my buddies Rustling Silk), soundtrackish - neo classical with ambient etc, etc.

What I don't do (no disrespect) - Pop, RNB, Hip Hop/Crunk/Rap, Tarnce, Gabba, Jungle, Opera, Dubstep, Dancehall, thrash/black/death metal, Reggaeton, Commercialized pop infused 'oooh yeeeahhh' House, Country, Polka, Powerpop/Emo.

Although if you paid me I would do Pop polka or thrash reggaeton and Emo Happy Hardcore ....

I'm not good in telling a genre from another but I could say:

Pop as is described here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop_music
with influences from R&B, Hip/Hop, Progressive Rock, Soul, Smooth Jazz, Jazz, Fusion,Funky
However very soon I'll publish my music (for free) on alonetone so you can
help me classify my genre.
What I don't do for sure (no disrespect) is Techno, Electronica, House, Rap.
Simply it does not come in my mind

I'm in the CRAZY genre I guess. I use the best elements from lots of music
and try to beast them into one style of ear fucking.

I like thrash, metal, industrial, IDM, Drum and bass, jungle, punk, Hip Hop, downtempo and anything with the word "grind" in it and HEAVILY distorded noise. Pretty much wanna make speed thrash metal with synths and drummachines
