Pop would be cotton candy. Eye catching, but no real substance.
drum and bass would be cocaine
Soul sole
I feel like heavy metal would be like biting into a gumball and realizing it’s a jawbreaker/gobstopper.
(Love the genre; just thought this description was funny)
Nu-metal would be pop rocks and cola

Crust punk would be like drinking water steeped in an ashtray full of old cigarettes.
Rockabilly is Southern Fried. :)
What do people think a lasagna would be?
Orchestral
The correct answer is “Enya”
That’s a good question. I can’t think of it in genres but do certainly associate some musical sounds with flavors.
High pitched sounds are acidic, sour.
Low hum is boozy, or molasses flavor.
Harp strumming is like jellybeans somehow.
Barber beats are just a serving plate full of soft peppermint candies individually wrapped, but you can kinda see that the wrappings were just printed over old recycled wrappers of other candies.
Ska would be mozzarella sticks with extra marinara sauce
Industrial metal is the feeling of chewing on aluminum foil
Folk (thinking specifically John Prine, Todd Snider) is like one of those really fantastic casseroles your mom would make on Friday night, the type you ate until you wanted to burst, and felt safe and loved.
Left wing folk (Phil Ochs, et al) is like a vegan General Tso. You’re sure you’re going to be missing something, it can’t be as good as the original, it has an agenda… But it turns out to be fucking amazing, and way better than the one with chicken
showtunes are artsy themed handmade cakes
vaporwave is a half melted Icee (that you’re still very much enjoying)
Chiptune: sour candy. It’s artificial, it’s energising as it is sour, and it reminds of childhood when computers were all about bloops and bleeps.
