For example, even though I am mostly into heavy metal, punk, and a little bit of 90's rock, I also like swing music.

I think the main reason is I was a clarinet player in high school, and outside of orchestra it is the last genre of music where it used to be featured prominently. I always wanted to be in jazz band but they never had any clarinet arrangements and I was forced to play sax instead. Closest I ever got to playing a real swing song was when my school marching band played "Sing Sing Sing" as part of it's set for a season, but it didn't even have the solo sections, just the main part.

It seems odd because no one in my family or circle of friends was into it (closest was my grandfather, but he preferred more typical jazz music), it was just something I was into. My favorite artists in the genre are definitely Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, and Louis Jordan. I also like the more modern revival bands like Cherry Poppin' Daddies and The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

So yea, what are some odd musical tastes you have that seem completely out of left field?
