With gustar the verb agrees with the thing liked, not the person; use "gusta" for singular nouns.
¿Qué género más te gusta?
Placing "más" before the verb changes the meaning; it should follow the verb to form the comparative.

Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries "género" is a catch‑all word for categories of art and entertainment. When you ask about movies, you might say "¿Qué género de película te gusta más?". Be aware that "género" can also refer to gender (biological sex), so context is key. Using the informal "te" is appropriate with friends or peers; with strangers you could switch to the formal "¿Qué género le gusta más?".
