'I love Rock 'n' Roll'-Music genre preference modulates brain responses to music

► We examined electrophysiological responses to preferred and non-preferred music. ► Participants performed a liking judgement and a genre classification task. ► We found a larger early negativity for the preferred music genre. ► The late positive potential (LPP) was larger for non-preferred music. ► ERPs to preferred vs. non-preferred music differed during the classification task.
