Title is worded a little weird, I’m not necessarily asking if there are any styles that sound better on vinyl compared to digital, are there any genres that have sounds / instruments that are harder to replicate on vinyl vs another genre?

Only songs/albums with very low bass should avoided do to the inherent limitations of the vinyl groove.
But otherwise, high *quality vinyl records can often make high quality digital sound analog.
*there are different processes to making vinyl records, some are much more audiophile worthy than others.
I have not found that to be the case. And proper settings on your phone preamp open the sound up. I had fifteen inch woofers and got deep and accurate bass.
Your will find much worse sound coming from early issue CDs.
I was running Bob Carver amps at the time.
How is is very low would you think?
It’s not true, vinyl will gladly play down to the single digit frequencies. Sometimes even on purpose!
Bollocks. Get a quad fold version of Paul’s Boutique / the bassiest thing you will ever hear
Yeah, disagree there. If the album is cut wrong with too narrow of a groove pitch then it could be a problem, but then it’s a mastering mistake by someone without vinyl mastering experience, not a problem with the format.
But most of the problem there is handled by the RIAA curve, which means that the amplitudes on the record are lessened in the lower frequencies, and amplified more by an RIAA preamp. Means the needle isn’t traveling as much as you’d expect even for I.e. 10Hz lows.
Try the Holst suite by the Cleveland Symphonic Winds, Telarc record. First movement, the Chaconne, the bass drum hits at the end. Fantastic realistic whole bass boom, way more depth than you’d expect and you’ll be left wondering how your needle didn’t jump the groove. It doesn’t sound better than digital per se, but vinyl is fully capable of it.
