This is a hard question without an easy answer.
I think I can confidently say that creating and producing Opera may be more difficult that creating and producing minimal house. But there is so much more to it than just what is easy or difficult.
So let's look at minimal house for a minute. It is rather simple and elegant, it is not as harmonically complex as Opera, classical, or jazz, but it requires there to be interesting relationships between the different parts that create its catchy rhythms. I find these things difficult to create and I marvel at house and minimal house artists who can do it well.
If I say to myself: "Here is a piece of music that only has four parts, it must be easy, I am going to try and make a track like it", I might find out as I work how hard it is to make something interesting with only four parts. In music, simplicity presents its own challenges.
Very often what is the easiest for us is what we like the best. I am quite motivated to create music that I like and I have pretty good success.

Based off todays current climate, EDM and Trap are the easiest to create a general following. With this, don't be afraid to be unique and follow your muse, but if your goal is to grow a following, its best to see the latest trends and what the vast majority is listening too.
