I like playing blues and jazz but I like pretty much everything. I'll go with the Tommy Dorsey.

/lives up to handle

Hmmmm.

Interesting, that. (pops)

So according to this, I have these traits:

High self-esteem, outgoing, Low self-esteem, creative, not hard working, not gentle, not outgoing, gentle, at ease, not creative, hardworking, not at ease

Okay.

CheddarPants: So according to this, I have these traits:

Yep, me too. Either it's a load of pish, or I'm two different people.

And so am I.

How do the Butt Trumpets, Wesley Willis, and Kompressor all fit into this puzzle?

Liking Hannah Montana means you're cool, right? Right?

They forgot prog rock = soulless nerd.

I like both rap and indie, so I have high self-esteem and am outgoing while also having low self-esteem.

Fan of Metal + Blues + Jazz + Classical + Hip Hop + Bluegrass + Soul = Serious personality disorders.

I apparently have low and high self esteem.

according to the survey, I have low self esteem. But I know I am better than that farkhead Pete Dougherty.

Well, according to the article, I have no belief, but I believe I'm a walking contradiction, and I ain't got no right. :/

I like Funk. Where does that put me?

Just about, right above me I'd say.

So where does grunge get you?

I like music none of you ever heard of. And if you have heard of it, I was a huge fan of theirs before you heard of them. But, I'm not anymore. Because you've heard of them and they are obviously played out.

I also have a low self esteem of you. Because you suck and your bands suck too.

Where is j-pop?

halkun: Where is j-pop?

low self-esteem, hardworking, outgoing, attracted to drawings of little girls being raped by phallic tentacled monsters

If you like Ska you're a sexual predator.

I listen to oldskool UK hardcore breakbeat from the early 90s (and spend a ridiculous amount on shipping records from the UK). Those were the days- marathon dance weekends in San Francisco: Carefree, The Gathering, Rave at the Beach and in the Park, Sharon, Wicked, Full Moon Massive, etc ,etc, etc! =)

Not many of us left I'd wager, particularly in the States...

If you like Nickelback, you actually have no personality.

I listen to the hunting calls of somalian sheepherders, so where does that put me?

My gf used to be like that, but in the Phili/DC/Bal area. Every time she describes the zillion different types of dance music, I get a nosebleed.

I like Barbara Streisand and show tunes.

So what would MSBR say about my personality?

How about my normal playlists, that involve that, PTV, Ministry, Slayer... probably Ashane and the previously mentioned J-POP mixed in as well.

I'm guessing something along the lines of either "reclusive sociopath" or "about to be declared a terrorist by the US government".

/what can I say, it's really well done music

Conspicuously absent from that list was a show-tunes category. Must be part of the Gay Agenda(TM).

I only listen to remixed panther noises, so what does that make me besides a farking weirdo?

It's distorted whale song for me. Backwards.

Glasgowsfinest: Either it's a load of pish, or I'm two different people.

They're reporting overall trends, not locking you into a discrete category. For heaven's sake, people, this is not one of those "Which Invader Zim character are you" things.

And if you like big, splashy musicals......

Bollywood is a type of music now?

Jamdug konfusored!!

Help-Im-Sober: I listen to the hunting calls of somalian sheepherders, so where does that put me?

Hmmm, I'm guessing - on your knees, with your arse in the air??

/baaaaaaa

bookelly: It's distorted whale song for me. Backwards.

Dude, be careful man.

What a farking crock of shiat.

CheddarPants: So according to this, I have these traits:

High self-esteem, outgoing, Low self-esteem, creative, not hard working, not gentle, not outgoing, gentle, at ease, not creative, hardworking, not at ease

Okay.

I can only assume you're a female.

Bollywood? In my list of choices?
Tunak Tunak tun Tunak Tunak tun Tunak tun da da da!

Son of Thunder: Glasgowsfinest: Either it's a load of pish, or I'm two different people.

Yeah, it's more like "What Magic:The Gathering Color Are you?"

/used to work in a music store
//incredibly unimpressed by this study

Man, why is it that the first thing I hear about music anymore is the culture? I guess it's always been that way, but once in awhile it'd be cool if it was just the tune, the instruments.

I really, really like to listen to guitars riff and solo. Cool drumbeats are neat too. Whether it's extreme metal, Rush, Blue Oyster Cult, or the Charlie Daniels Band (saw them on the weekend), there's a certain kind of nifty playing that just grabs me. What's that say about me other then hey, that guy likes cool guitars?

yarnothuntin: I like Barbara Streisand and show tunes.

ghey.....that was easy

Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Hmmmm.

Interesting, that. (pops)

you never disappoint.

/turns out i'm both outgoing AND an introvert!

doodoobutter: Toshiro Mifune's Letter Opener: Hmmmm.

/turns out i'm both outgoing AND an introvert!

That means you run right out to meet people, and then don't say anything when you get there.

I like both kinds of music...Country AND Western!

Girly man man man man.... Creative and outgoing?

Anyway, I am actually mildly curious as to how the study approached this. Did this only address people who liked one type of music only? In that case, they should have some interesting data about the personality trend subset of people who like both (and only) Rap and Bollywood, since each group of choices would be a distinct group unto itself. Ie, the group who say the like Rap would have these traits, the group that say they like Bollywood would have these traits, but the group that said both Rap and Bollywood would have an entirely different trait trend, possibly not even related to either of the other two groups.

Though my guess is they just asked people which they liked best, one choice only, in which case if you want to measure yourself against the trend, you only get to pick one as well.

As for classical music; "high self-esteem"...well, its surely no suprise we're some pompous, arrogant bastards, but the whole "at ease" thing doesn't sound like the classical music fans I know.

Though I guess Girly Man would be a Bollywood/"Chart Pop" blend, not just straight Bollywood, so another subset again.

You know how I know you're gay? You like Coldplay.

They don't even have trance on there. And no, trance is not the same thing as dance/rave music. (Although, I guess sometimes trance music is played at such events.) What a stupid list.

I liked this (possibly NSFW), which covers about 10 of those genres in a mere 6:12.

Which means I probably have this.

ROCK/HEAVY METAL
"Low self-esteem, not hard-working, not outgoing"

FAIL

It really irks me that they use the word "introvert" once and then replace it with "not outgoing" for the rest of the quiz. They have a perfectly good word there and they wasted it.

/Why? :(
//Classical, opera, dance and indie for me... :)

Salamando3000: I like Funk. Where does that put me?

Apparently, you're tearing the roof off, because it's on fire and not calling the fire department because you are going to let that motherfarker burn.

so... outgoing, violent, firebug would seem to be the answer.

Those generalizations are vague enough to apply to me.
