Default Musical tastes and personality

I am still intrigued whether there is a link between music preference and personality traits. I have searched online many times and have'nt really found anything that has delved into this area without sounding like a scientific debate. I truly believe that what you listen to has some semblance on who you are and certain personality traits. I will refrain from going indepth for a little while until I see how the feedback is from this.

They're probably is, but idk. I do listen to The Smiths, because Morrissey's words of lost love and lonliness, really speak to me, same as Ian Curtis of Joy Division. So yeh?

I've found that most people who listen to indie are intelligent.

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.

It seems like that would be hard to study. But I think for sure certain types of people are more likely to listen to certain genres.
It's like when you meet someone for the first time and they like all the bands you do, you know they are going to be cool.

I think you can get more a sense of someones general feelings more than you get a sense of their personality through what they listen to. For instance, I listen to metal most often. Do I have an angry or belligerent personality? Nope not at all. Quite the opposite in fact.
