I've done a number of activities somewhat recently that involve meeting new people and getting to know people differently than I normally would. These situations involve camp, class and housing. And in all three circumstances one of the first questions people have asked is "what kind of music do you listen to?"
I find this kind of surprising...how much does what one listens to really describe them? Can we be judged by the genre or artists we listen to? What do different artists say about different personalities?
I for one, love country music and that seems to be a big turn off for a lot of people. Friends have found out I listen to Keith Urban or Rascal Flatts and they walk the other way. In a few instances though I've actually been able to convert people to country loving:)
My roommate and I have lived together for almost two years, we will be again next year and we have complete opposite tastes in music. She loves stuff thats more hardcore, the kind of music where you can't distinguish chords or voices. The Keith Urban fan in me says that hers isnt real music...and her hardcore side says the same thing about my country. But we still manage to get along...
This just proves that music does not determine personality clashing....or not clashing. :)
Punks and country bumpkins can co-exist. AND get along....So don't judge a person by their band posters....you may be sacrificing a friend.
Happy Listening!
what is pop culture telling me? what are my friends saying? what is everyone listening to? what is in the music? are you tuned in?
