[edit] Steps

Think about your personality. Are you wild, or quiet? Do you like things slow or fast? Consider these elements before beginning your search.
Compile possibilites. Ask friends to loan you CDs from different genres (i.e. country could be from one friend, rock from another, pop from another...).
Ask yourself yet more questions. Would you prefer music that you can dance to over music you can work to? Do you care if there is swearing or not?
Try out CDs and look up your favorite artists from them on itunes or Amazon.com. You can preview the songs and get a small taste of what they are really like.
Go to www.youtube.com. There you can watch music videos of the songs you chose on itunes.
Go to your chosen artist's official site and fan site(s). It doesn't matter if they are well known or not, you've just found what kind of music you like!
Try out lots of different kinds of music. Not all music makes the radio. Don't limit yourself to what's popular or well-known because you could be missing out on some great music.
Try your local public library. Most public libraries have a variety of music on CD that you can check out for free or interlibrary loan for a small fee.
Listen to the radio. You can try the radio stations in your area or any of the various online radio sites. Some online radio stations broadcast what's on the air somewhere; others play mixes based on what you say you like. Try Pandora or Last.fm for two examples of sites that recommend music based on recommendations from others who like what you like.
Listen to a song more than once if you sort of like it. Sometimes you'll notice and appreciate it more as you become more familiar with it.

[edit] Tips

If this doesn't work for you, accept it and move on. So maybe you like many types of music. Who cares? This factor is part of what makes you your unique self.
Don't limit yourself to any one type of music. There's no reason you can't like country, alternative, classical, and folk, all mixed up in the same playlist.
Reassess your tastes in music now and then. The styles change and evolve with time, and so do you.
Don't limit yourself to what's popular or what others in your age group listens to. There's plenty of music out there for everyone, and the popular stuff that appeals to the lowest common denominator may not appeal to you.
