You 2 are both right but you also have ppl like who are right in the middle of both those demographics..

it's hard to define ppl just by their taste cause sometimes you can be wrong, it is possible to like 2 completely different bands like One direction and Slpiknot..

i mean i myself usually like Noise bands but 'Alejandro' by gaga is my jam! so even the majority mingles with the minority as we should cause in the end our taste in music doesn't have to define who we are.
