rufinthefury
10.15.15 | Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinda. I mean. Honestly I feel like the more open you are to multiple genres the more liberal/easy going you are in general. I won't say that certain genres attract those types of people, that's stupid imo, but enjoying many different types of music certainly gives that vibe.
Plus musical tastes usually lead to a person's style. I mean for me I just wear bandshirts but for other people they go the whole nine-yards for looking grunge or goth or whatever. Metalheads might have a battle jacket, you know. |
MistaCrave
10.15.15 | Agreed. Music is one of the most important things in my life, but my character is completely independent of my musical taste. |

deathschool
10.15.15 | Since we on this site obviously give a lot of time and thought into defining our music taste as it is one of the main functions of the site, the best way to answer to this question objectively as possible would be to substitute another medium. Do you think a person's taste in movies defines them? If your natural reaction to that question is "wow, that's ridiculous", just know that to someone whose medium of choice isn't music would find the original question equally ridiculous. |

Funeralopolis
10.15.15 | rustling guaranteed lol. But really though I figure most people are complex enough to not define themselves by their music taste, it would likely have influence on your world view if you are into niche genres and hobbies but I think its a bad thing if you are defining your tastes in everything else based on one thing, there is such much out there to explore and expand your horizons into that one taste across other mediums just isn't going to give you the biggest or best picture for yourself. I definitely agree music can be very personal to people but I'm not really sure if it has an impact on personality, more likely if you associate yourself with the culture and people around the music is where it will really start to bleed into your personality rather than the music itself. |

GreyShadow
10.15.15 | I feel like there is a huge difference between people that only listen to the hits/the radio and people that have oodles of albums in their library. I initially didn't want to think like this but maybe it really is a separation between the mainstream and the non.
Like if person A's favorite band was Circle Takes The Square and person B's was One Direction and you put the two in a room and said "talk about anything but music for 3 hours" I'd imagine there would be a difference in personality, not necessarily similarities but just how they acted/worded things.
I barely know what I'm saying either but this is definitely making me think lol

10.15.15 | When you're growing up and find a specific musical style that connects to you then you certainly become more defined by that style. Particular things are renounced, rebellion more pronounced. The passion of flying the flag for a particular band brings with it certain loyalties that you find yourself channeling into.....oh hang on I'm talking about pre 2000 when bands and music was better.

10.15.15 | In my opinion music does define a person. In fact musical taste is my first filter when I'm introduced to a person, if the person doesn't have an interesting musical taste, I just avoid further interaction. |

10.15.15 | are you serious |
CamiloG
10.15.15 | Yeah I'm serious. But I think this is also attached to that kind of people that get immersed in the social and cultural aspects of the genre. For example the one that listens rap and gets that much into the ideology that the goal is to be a thug. I think some people brainwash themselves over music and its ideology. As the black metalhead that gets into satanism mainly because of the genre ideological aspects, and not because he chooses to be a satanist. That's the kind of people I'm referring to. |

10.15.15 | Thread is gold [2], "let me put this into perspective: your lowest point is snoxals every day life" is even more gold. It can obviously influence who you become in later life and how you're preceived if you're into it, however it doesn't define you. |

10.15.15 | And what's that supposed to mean? |
Riviere
10.15.15 | You say if a person doesn't have an interesting musical taste you walk away, which is what Steve Harvey does when he sees atheists. Minty is correct, that's a teenage mentality. Music taste doesn't preclude someone from being interesting or being good company. |
CamiloG
10.15.15 | It probably doesn't, but it allows to see aspects of their personality, that can turn a person into somebody interesting or not. It is just my opinion though. |
