Best type of mountain bike to "learn" on?

Man, I’d kinda like to get into mountain biking, but I just overwhelmed by the 12 different kinds of mountain bikes. What is the difference between trail (I assume you guys are saying trail as in a type of bike, not a short trail, as in front end geometry…), downhill, freestyle…freeride, endurance, cross country, XC. I looked at a couple bikes on manufacturer websites…and they all looked the same, but there was a whole list of different bikes.

Edit: On second thought…I’m not sure I want to get into mountain biking. There’s no trails around here. The issue is I just want another bike :astonished:
