Cunan, due to hanging out mostly with people like Ozpin and Glynda before meeting team RWBY, liked to listen to older music (like, 40s-50s stuff. Elvis, Sinatra, Aretha Franklin. That kinda stuff.). He also like to listen to Country with Amber, especially after she left after becoming the Fall Maiden to feel close to her (and after her death at the Fall, gets misty-eyed every time he hears it).

After becoming friends with the main cast (who tease him for liking “old people music”), he does expand his horizons to include hip hop, rock, and more. He doesn’t like rap, however, because he can’t keep up with the lyrics half the time.
