Emo is short for "emotional punk" Bands like Saves the Day, Taking Back Sunday, Dashboard Confessional, Jimmy Eat World (though on the positive side) and Weezer (straddles Emo and Nerd Rock). I'm positive you've heard some of them. Very whiny.
House is a type of Techno. Daft Punk, Basement Jaxx, why am I listing this? It's techno you're most often going to hear in a club.
Trance is also a techno subgenre, more emphasis on synth string type instruments, has a terrible tendancy to be extremely cheesy. Any cheesy, ballad-like techno song is generally trance.
Breaks is another subgenre of techno, though I don't think it counts as a subgenre at all. Simply put, breaks is the EXACT same thing as your traditional Techno except it doesn't have the consistent thump, thump, thump, thump in 4/4 time of techno and alters it with off beats. Think techno with variation in the drums.
R+B is the same as RnB or R&B, which is Rythym and Blues. This is motown music. Anything from there is generally R&B, though it has warped today to include anyone from Alicia Keys to Kanye West (because some fools think Rap and R&B are synonomous).
The thought of someone not knowing what punk is truly strains the head. It's not even possible. From The Ramones to Rancid, to Black Flag to The Vines to Greenday (very, very commecial pop-punk yes, but still in the genre) to many others. Short songs, anti-establishment, girls, drinking, you know the drill.
Finally trip-hop is an early to mid 90's (mostly) fusion of jazz, hip-hop and techno. Some really great stuff that you probably haven't heard and alot of poser stuff as well.
Seriously, while classical music is fantastic (vivaldi for me), you should probably check out all of these genres of music you're completely missing out on.
Rap is the most foul, discusting, and racist crap I have ever encountered. If the music industry had any decency, they never would release such anti-intellectual garbage... Rap is not music.

Just....wow. I pray to god that this is just a joke.
Yes, a ballad. There are tons of clubs that have those songs that sound like crappy, poorly written ballads with over the top synths. Good trance is completely different than that, but it's still the same genre.
I cannont believe that you've never heard of motown. that really, really hurts my head. Have you ever, you know, turned on a radio or left your house or watched a movie?

I am sorry but this seems like you are saying you are better than all of us.
So I am wondering what you think of playing video games? Are they a waste of your time also?
