I’ve been producing instrumental backing tracks for songs for clients for about 20 years.
But now I want to make my own instrumental music.
which genres are most of the people listening to now on YouTube and Spotify ?
and which genres need more music for the listeners ( are the ones that have a lot of listeners but not too much music to listen to ) ?

I heard HipHop and EDM were always the most popular ones.
but now a lot of people are also listening to SynthWave, Trap, and LoFi-HipHop ?

Make something worth listening, popping generic music in any genre is the least this world needs...

How about being yourself...it's hard to believe that after 20 years a TS-12 style hasn't emerged. You should worry less about genres and more about music that is recognizable as YOURS!

Exactly...borrow/be inspired/steal from whatever takes your fancy, but always put your own stamp on it.

Ambient Death Polka used to be popular around these parts. Maybe you could bring it back.
