Idk, I mean the music that I listen to most is metal, but some of my favorite drummers play in genre's that I don't really like. Idk how to explain it.

Short answer, metal.

when i listen to metal

i try my hardest to listen to the sound of the bass

It became a habit because like a lot of people i talk to music with or just what people say on the internet they always say like how the bassiest is the core of a band without it you cant have a band and i can never hear it. And being insecure i started after that trying to listen only to the bass in like all the songs.

Depends on what type of music it is and in what situation. But in general I tend to analyze and dissect as much as possible. Probably due to the fact that I have studied music for three years.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

i think they mean the rhythm section is the core of the band, which i agree. if you have someone playing a lead part, and the comper switches the chords hes playing or the bassist outlines different notes, it sounds wildly different

if you are trying to listen to bass guitar maybe metal isn't the ideal choice

It took me such a long time to be able to pick the bass out of metal songs... ):

And didn't you tell me Opeth was one of your favorite bands??

Are they? They're one of my top favorites.

Actually, I recall having a discussion with you, JohnColtrane, about why Opeth was rather mediocre sometime last year...haha. I think it was on a blog I put up after seeing them live.

I hear its popular to say this these days, but I dont really understand why, a lot of their compositions are insane, and before someone starts talking about John Petrucci and Dream Theater, sure the guy knows how to play, but the music sounds like an endless stream of piss to me.

Its all personal opinions though.

There is nothing wrong with good-natured, "naive" appreciation of music at the aesthetic level.
Of course, people like to claim that they know much about music...when they really don't. That is more annoying, but forgivable. What is truly annoying is when they take a rubbish piece of music (really most non-classical stuff falls under this category unfortunately) and assume stubborn and entirely misguided elitism -- that their trash is less rubbish than other trash.

Another thing that is annoying: when someone claims that everything is subjective and there is no good music or bad music, just different musical tastes.
How laughable.

I'm actually the same way with lyrics. I don't really pay attention to them at all, and don't consider them that important in general until later when I know that I like the music. The stuff that always appeals to me most is how dynamic/inventive a band can make a song while keeping it still pleasing to the ear and staying catchy. That and just sheer technical skill of the musicians, like guitar/bass/drum complexity in solos and stuff. I don't mind screaming/growling vocals at all because just like you I also consider it just another layer of the music, and if it fits well, then that's fine with me.

Oh god by all means Opeth is much better than Dream Theater, but I really don't think Opeth is some kind of band from the heavens like a lot of Opeth fans seem to think.
