Musical tastes and personality (alternative, dance, house, indie, metal)

People who like indie think they're smarter than prog fans. Prog fans think they're smarter than indie fans. People who like real music know better.

None of thhe artists I listen to dress like me or have the same personality...people often mistake me for a hardcore kid.

No, it's fake. I'm amazed you hadn't realized that up to the current point.

I think a lot of it has to do with how easily a person is influenced in general. It seems like people who are easily molded by other people and situations are also easily molded into the stereotype a certain music might fit into. So in that case, it wouldn't be the music influencing their personality so much as the culture surrounding it. I think a stronger-willed person might listen to song and actually be influenced by the words and music more, because they are looking at it from a totally independent, pure point of view and not a "cultural" point of view. They don't give a damn what the main fan base of that genre thinks or acts like. They simply like it because it suits their personal taste. If that makes sense.
In a nutshell, the answer would be yes. It just happens in different, sometimes superficial ways.

Well, to be fair the indie kids are generally more intelligent than your typical Opeth-head.

BUT... to be fair, the real-life indie community unfortunately has a lot of total numbskull twonks in it.

I wake up every morning with wood because I dream of how awesome I am.

And then when I first see myself in the mirror... wow.

... I can't believe my ego. It really is huge is'nt it? You can write better replies than the gobbledegook you offered up earlier in the thread. Stop trying to be clever and write clever instead.
