You Are What You Listen To

Hey all,

I've been around the forum for a couple of months now and I'm starting to get a better understanding of some of the older members and the dynamic between noobs and mods. It's also interesting to get a feel for your music tastes, and what (most of you) listen to is often unexpected, unique, and very intriguing.

I'd just like to start up a discussion on whether or not you think people are what they listen to, and when a noob introduces themselves as a fan of such-and-such band, do you automatically have a feel for who this person is?

I try not to pass judgement on people, but do you think there are any truths in stereotypes like... depressed people listen to emo music, uneducated people like pop or country music, and stoners are all into reggae and 60s/70s psychedelic whatever. Of course these are just random examples that we all know aren't really true, but...

Yeah. Just curious what you think about the connection between personality and music taste...if there is one.
