It is not allowed to listen to any type of sinful music. Sinful music is the music which is usually listened by the sinners. Emotional music which is usually by sinners is not allowed. If it is a martial music of war which is specifically used by the sinners, then many of our great Maraaji' of Taqleed say that it is not sinful.

Islam . Music . Song

Is listening to songs actually not allowed in Islam? Does it depend on the kind of songs and music? If so, what types are allowed?

Listening to songs is not allowed in Islam. We have many authentic Prophetic Hadeeths that listening to songs creates hypocrisy in the heart like water growing a seed. No song is allowed unless it is just a Nasheed or certain recitation which can never be called a song by public.
