Do you think that the kind of music a person likes is an indicator of how that person will treat you?
Do you think someone's taste in music does a lot to define who they really are? |

Nope. I like a little bit of everything- literally everything- and my behavior is not indicative of that.

Yes and no...
There are good and bad people no matter what.... however, there are certain cultures around music genres... and there is particular behaviors... so possibly. |

I hope not, otherwise i'd be treating people pretty random and i'd come across as easy, as im into all kinds of music and will listen to most things.
I like things from the top 50, to techno, to country, to rock, and even the older tunes. If my taste in music were to define who i am, what is my random music choices actually saying about the person i am?? |

I think it has something to say about who they are but it does not define who they are. Music is one part of all cultures, so maybe it indicates the subculture they are in. Not sure. |

Let's say you run into a guy online and you ask him what kind of music he likes. He links you to a couple of songs from a Horror Punk band like the Murderdolls or Wednesday 13. He finds the lyrics funny. Not in any way serious. Do you get creeped out or just figure the guy has a strange sense of humor? |

To be completely honest, I avoid guys do to preference in a particular genres of music. Because I don't agree with the lyrics and content.

It just irritates me when people ( not you in particular ) try to blame music, rather than parental shortcomings for things like Columbine. |

I resemble that remark. When I am writing I listen to Dream Theater. Any other time I am listening to anything from Bach to Slayer. My most recent ex told me that my taste in music was too " schizophrenic " for her. LOL |
