The music to which

The music to which I listen is the kind of music my friends do not listen to at all.

Is this ok?
  

Top answer

It's correct, but not very natural. The music I listen to isn't the type my friends listen to. My friends don't listen to the type of music I do.

What about this sentence:

The music to which I listen is the music to which my friends listen not.

That's even less natural than the original.

I translate this from my language.

You say it is correct?

I ask you if it is correct. English I learn.

Do not say "my friends listen not." It may have been correct 100 or more years ago, but sounds quite odd now.

We don't often say "the X to which I [verb]" -- we usually say "The X I [verb] to." It's not incorrect; it's just not frequently used.
