osu! has made me more lenient towards popular music, largely because fun maps can pick out parts of a track that I wouldn't pay so much attention to, even if I were to listen critically. The maps generally give me more of an appreciation for music which is beat-driven and tuned to the mind's craving for repetition and consistence. A lot of the music that I'm exposed to outside of this game just doesn't have that.

I start tapping with my fingers as soon as I hear music somewhere and imagine how this song would be playable/mapable.
I would also not have known of Touhou without Dark Side of Fate.
I also discovered that I somehow like Metal by listening to Taketori Hishou and Stirring an Autumn Moon. I first found it somehow strange, but I like Dark PHOENiX.
Oh, And Osu! let me discover EBA

I was introduced to a very large amount of artists I wouldn't know otherwise, including lots that I probably should have known before osu!
Larto and friends alone probably introduced me to Imogen Heap, La Roux, P!nk, Owl City, Ke$ha, Avenged Sevenfold, Pendulum, Paramore, My Chemical Romance, OK Go, Marina & The Diamonds, Ellie Goulding, Florence + The Machine, Meg & Dia, Taylor Swift, and Sky Ferreira. I had probably somewhat heard of some of these artists before but now I definitely know them more.

osu! influenced me in many, many ways. Heck, there's so much I did take from osu! that sometimes I can't stop flowing to the beat of a beatmap I played (or even a random tune in my head) in plain open air! It sure made me feel more enthusiastic!
Alongside the general upbeat, there were a couple of artists I got to know better thanks to this game. Owl City, Lia, Florence + the Machine, Taylor Swift, Anamanaguchi (sp?), La Oreja de Van Gogh, KOTOKO... just to name some of the top of my head. Before that I was stuck to... well, mostly Video Game Music, OC ReMix and some old stars, pretty much that. ._.
Hope I can keep this rhythmical adventure going on for a long time!

I barely had any interest in Japanese music until I joined osu!. Osu! has definitely broadened my taste in music, particularly in a linguistic sense. I've also developed a greater appreciation for instrumentals. and alongside that an even greater hatred for nightcore and anything even remotely related to that pig's garbage.
It changed my whole life... O_O
- now, I love Vocaloid music especially Miku
- now, I can have friends that far from me
- now, I didn't waste my spare time

Osu has made me listen to a variety of different music genres which i feel is awesome 
After playing osu! for a while I became addicted to japanese music. Don't know if this is good for me or not >.<
I started to dislike Japanese music a bit... I still listen to this "genre", but not so much as I used to.
I also discovered nightcore... And I hate it.

I discovered myself liking Vocaloid really much and forced myself to do some research about that stuff so basically I learned about vocaloid because of osu!. Also osu! caused me to listen to nightcore and other stuff while osu! is responsible to my finally awoken affinity to anime which was present in past, then forgotten but has now awoken again.
Oh, and I gained some aiming skills too since I play mouse only.
Thank you, osu!.

Just because of the Hype, I started to hate Nightcore.
And for the reason it sounds like babies get murdered in the moment when you hear a voice.

Well, because of osu!, I know tons of music genres like Vocaloid/Touhou and alot of other culture's songs.
it made me start liking Chinese music
great effect.... especially when i`m in the middle of exam..... really helpful *replaying all of the songs instead all i`ve been study*
It helped me discover all the cute/troll songs which are also awesome
[Deleted]
It turned my iPod and computer from touch it and you die to if any on else but me touches my stuff the hard drives instantly destroy themselves. NOTICE I SAID HARD DRIVES
Probably pissed me off because some of the stuff I'd like to hear doesn't get mapped / wont be mapped by me anytime soon (ever).
discoreved dnb

I started watching anime for the first time after looking up some of the songs I was playing on osu.
Oh, and I learned about touhou.

Discovered dnb/glitchcore and more japanese artists
Made me watch some animes after seeing cool openings
It has made me hate anime related things a bit more. I blame most of the community for being such annoying wannabe otakus.
I loved Breakcore and K-Pop before knowing osu!, and nobody maps Ambient, which is mainly my favourite music.
There are a lot of songs that have been mapped after I knew them / had them on mp3-player, like "Dragons", "the nature of dying" and "Ascension to Heaven" (decided to take all from Approved, not Ranked maps, lol), but disappointingly small amount of songs that I have put on mp3-player after getting it via osu!, honorable mentions "Duvet Remix", "Torikago" and "Chumachechaya Vesna".
I know my taste is too good for this game, sorry.

Nightcore ...oh god, nightcore
Osu! has mainly gotten me into Hatsune Miku, Nightcore, Xi, 07th expansion, IOSYS and ofcourse it tells me just as much as everything else how awesome music is.
