You think you're musically adventurous, and you are better than most, but most of your music still features a back beat, making all your different types just splinters of popular music. You are basically listening to only one kind of music, only one genre.
A truly musically adventurous person is listening to multiple GENRES, like classical music, jazz, world music, indigenous folk music, etc., and then exploring the splinter styles among those genres.
I started listening to classical and jazz as a teen. When my friends were flipping burgers or bussing tables, I was earning date money by playing in a 15 piece big band, playing big social events. Then I got a degree in Music History, and went to work for a record company handling all the interesting music that didn't have a back beat.
I'm old now, and I long ago stopped listening to musical "styles," it's all just music to me now. I can play Bach, Pink Floyd, Charlie Parker, Led Zeppelin, Beethoven, Mongolian Heavy Metal, and some John Feahy finger picking, all right in a row, and not have any sort of musical whiplash. I get bored listening to the same stuff.
