- As it is an article about music.
- Could we not do without it?.
A recent study by British psychology professor Adrian North of Heriot Watt uk examined the musical tastes and personalities of more than 36,000 people around the world and found that they are closely related.
According to North, previous research has shown that rock and rap are the preference of people with personalities considered rebellious, while opera fans are seen as prosperous and well-educated. However, “this is the first time a studio has shown the link between personality and musical taste, considering a wide range of musical styles. “
According to this interesting studio of 104 different musical styles, jazz and classical music fans enjoy good self-esteem and are very creative people. However, jazz fans are said to be sociable, while classical music lovers are more introverted; Are regular pop music listeners diligently employed?
Country music lovers work hard and are shy; rappers are extroverted and those who prefer independent music do not have high self-esteem and are in a bad mood; Soul music fans have done their best in this studio: they are outgoing, creative, kind, happy with themselves and have good self-esteem.
According to this study, heavy metal enthusiasts are affectionate and relaxed, although little workers (according to the study) and have low self-esteem.
On the other hand, one of the most interesting conclusions of this Adrian North study is the similarities between classical music fans and heavy metal fans, strange as it may seem, both are quiet, introverted and creative.
North also analyzed those who listen to music in the car: if the music is loud and strong it is because they have higher incomes, while those who listen to more relaxing music tend to earn a lower wage.
“Do people maintain the stereotype that heavy metal fans?They are depressed people who tend to commit suicide, which poses a danger to themselves and society, but are they really very sensitive people?Adrian North
There are many stereotypes about fans of heavy metal, rock, punk, etc. , especially among the elderly, their musical tastes often arouse mistrust and other beliefs about how rude, rude and insensitive they are to these people. The same, and with all due respect to our elders, this recent study supports the belief that “metalsmiths” are very soft and sensitive.
The truth is that we more or less agree with some of North’s claims. The professor said: “People often define their sense of identity through their musical tastes, their clothes, the choice of certain bars to go out, the use of certain jargon. “It’s not strange to think that personality can be tied to musical preferences. “What do you think?
