Now I see two different questions in there because one would be the kind of music I like to play and enjoy and that’s mostly rock and ska but I tend to think that every genre has its place and want to be able to play different styles.
Then there’s the question what my song actually is and ummm… I’m not sure. Acoustic guitar drinking/tavern song I guess.
Inspiration came from Pen & Paper RPG as I play a bard and according to lore he has already written the song. So I wrote it. See more info and a faulty rendering of the song here - I did something wrong with the timings for the different “drum” beat in the chorus so it didn’t come out right. But the first verse and chorus should give you an idea of the style.

And recently I practiced my music sheet writing skills by actually writing my composition on a note sheet.
All links are to the same thread about original creations/compositions but the links are the exact posts I explain about the song, background and motivation in more detail.
