In a nutshell, what are like the very first things that flash into your mind whenever you hear the casual mention of any genre of music? Depending on when, where, and how you grew up, it's likely your perception will be radically different.
Here are my choices:
Pop:
Rock:
Rap:
R&B:
Country:
Jazz:
Disco:
Metal:
Eurodance:
Trap:
Hair Metal:

I like the idea of this thread. Here are some examples:
Rap:
As someone who grew up during the Mid 2000s, this song definitely comes to mind when I think of rap music. It received a lot of airplay around the turn of 2005, and as a six year old at the time, it certainly left a big impression on me.
Hair Metal:
This song was always played during my sports carnivals at primary school and high school. It also receives a decent amount of radio airplay from time to time as well. As a result, "Livin' On A Prayer" has become the definitive song of hair-metal, for me personally.
Eurodance:
It's funny to think back on this, because it's such a sign of it's time. During my first three years in primary school (2005-2007), we had to dance and sing to this song in our school hall.
Pop-Punk:
A lot of kids in my year group (Class of 2017) loved this song. On the rare occasion that it was suddenly played at my school, everyone would start singing it. Like "Livin' On a Prayer", it was also regularly played during my sports carnivals as well.
Emo:
I know the Emo scene of the Late 2000s is technically a derivative of pop-punk, however I've decided to regard it as a separate genre of music in this instance, as it had a significant presence on the music charts during the later part of my core childhood. Unlike most of the songs in this list, this song left it's impression only a few years ago.
There were two girls in my Visual Design class in Years 9-10 who absolutely loved this song, and they always played it during class whenever they had the chance. I had to listen to all of their horrible emo music, but "Dear Maria" was the one song they played to ad-nauseam! Two of my close friends (whom I met in High School) also really like pop-punk/emo and they played this song through a portable speaker at a school camp last year, which only consolidated the song's influence on my perception of the genre. Prior to that, I never really had a "definitive" emo-pop song in mind. I've never liked the Emo scene, so no song truly stood out to me as being more definitive.
