What kind of music would your character have grown up listening to? –
That is a long list that revolves primarily around south/eastern, mid, and northern Europe across several millenia.

What kind of music do they let people know they listen to? –
Reynard adores Trad/Folk music, which he's finding a lot of in soundtracks. It's familiar and keeps the electronic influences to a minimum. He's developing his appreciation for country and rock music too, with an eclectic mix of songs sneaking in. Anything that he can play along with, sing along with, or dance to being particular favourites. And he will tell everyone about this in efforts to get them to join him one way or another.

What is their secret genre or song? Something they wouldn't necessarily want others knowing they like. –
Put on Mambo No.5 and watch him squirm as he tries not to sing/dance along.

And what genre can they just not stand? If possible, find an example. –
That Noise people call 'electronic music'.

Do they associate any specific songs or genres with themselves? –
He doesn't like it, he can't help but come back to this song since he found it. In contrast, he associates this song with the side of him deeply rooted in the past, in old ways, in the earth and the nature around him.

Do they associate any specific songs or genres with other people? –
Some songs he's been taught remind him of the person who introduced him to them, but other than that; Not especially.

Songs for the good times? –
Mambo No.5 - Lou Bega, of course
Tanz Mit Mir - Faun

Songs for the BAD times? –
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Wicked Game - Chris Isaak

Share a few songs might they have on their mp3 device. (If they don't have one, imagine that they do) –
Go Get Your Gun - The Dear Hunter
Fellow in the North - Cold Weather Company
First Light of Winter - Miranda Lee Richards
Två Konungabarn - Myrkur
PreLudium Słowiańskie - WATAHA

I am going to be giggling about Mambo No. 5 for days. XD Also, I find it amusing and appropriate that Caspar's preferred genre of music is the one Reynard can't stand!

Rey's songs for the bad times are so, so sad. Poor Rey. :(

I was trying to figure out what his 'secret song/genre' might be and then I remembered that and I Knew. I can just picture him dancing to it.

Yeah, electronic/metallic/static noise as music? Completely anti-Reynard. But it's fitting that it's opposite to Caspar (and that Adia has a mix of both their tastes).

To be fair, if Rey didn't do sad/sombre well then what kind of Winter spirit would he be?

Agreed. Centuries-old winter spirit wigglin' to Mambo No.5 is great.

... Is this how we defeat him??

Defeat? Not sure.

Befriend/distract him? Definitely.

Get Jim drunk and he will happily sing and dance to Mambo No.5 all night with your, Reynard.

He would love that. However, he would not love any photo/video evidence of it the next day.
smartass_captain: (Ha!)

Come on Reynard you're as old as dirt. hang up your shame and dignity already. Lighten up~
shardofwinter: (Side note)

He still isn't used to there being evidence of the night before. Take him back to the days before mobile phones!

Someday the big screen with Steve's welcome message is gonna be replaced with a looping video of Reynard's shame.
shardofwinter: (Hrm - sword)

What a revenge that would be! You might see Rey desperately hacking at the back of the screen with an axe to get it to stop.
