The closest I get to being a moth is a single composer during a certain period, e.g., Morricone during his partnership with Nicolai, or a single composer in a particular genre, e.g., Herrmann sci-fi and fantasy.

The nature of film scoring means that even my favorite composers will deliver certain scores that I would never enjoy as a standalone listen.

Not sure that’s meant as the dividing line between “moth” or “cat” as defined by Thor, of moths concentrating on certain aspects and cats roaming around, as obviously, a moth can concentrate on a certain composer as much as on a certain type of film or period, and a cat can roam along with a composer across many different genres and types of music.
