From the question in your post, I would say go with the kit lens for now.

That will give you a chance to learn how a DSLR works and it also gives you a chance to learn about the lens. Then you will know what limitations the kit lens has for you, whether you want to go wider, longer, closer or faster.

Your style of photography will be unique to you and you will be find out in due course, what a style of photography you end up developing.

Yes, listen to others but experiment with your own camera and see what works or what doesn't. Its up to you to find out what makes YOU want to go out and take photos!! Some of that will be equipment, some will be technique but the key point will be inspiration. The amalgalm of the three will be your style!

And above all, have fun!!
