Some people say you can determine a person's character by knowing what type of music they listen to...?

Question

Im the type to listen to all sorts... what do you think that would make me lol?
I suppose there is some truth to that... or a lot of it.
out of pure boredom, I decided to write this and hear what you all think.

.:. I meant, what is your opinion on the title-question above?

Answer 1

It probably means that you're open-minded, and can try new things, without much of a problem

Sorry, I didn't know the answer above me had already said that.

Oh, it probably doesn't always determine someone's character. It could sometimes, but people can like a certain music, and have a totally different attitude. Like if you like hard rock, they can still be a gentle, and kind person.

Answer 2

It's good in that your grammar is mostly correct -- a rare sight here in B&A, I'm afraid. But hats off to you. What's less good is that you haven't yet entirely grasped the 'flow' of writing, and as a result many of your phrases and sentences sound stilted and pointless. For example: "They were in a small confined place, the elevator to be precise." There are several problems with this: 1) The grammar is subtly off. The comma should really be a dash. 2) If a place is confined, it is automatically small. You can't have a confined large place, can you? "Confined" tends to mean "not spacious", so... 3) Is an elevator really a "space"? 4) It is not necessary -- in fact it's a bad habit -- to stick adjectives in front of as many words as possible solely for the sake of it. Use them only when necessary, or they begin to lose their effect. 5) The first part of the sentence is superfluous anyway. Once you tell us it's an elevator, most readers will realise: "Oh! An elevator. I have a picture in my head of what an elevator looks like. It is a small, confined space." The only reason you would ever say the first clause of the sentence is if you were deliberately witholding their location to reveal it later -- but not in the same sentence. It's clumsy and bad form. That's just an example, but it's typical of the rest of the text. Another example: "Michael asked with pleasure to know her name" -- I'm sorry, but that sounds awful. DO NOT BE DISCOURAGE BY WHAT I'VE WRITTEN HERE. I only began writing about a year ago (30th December 2009) and my writing was much worse than yours (minus the grammatical mistakes, because I'm something of a grammar nerd). Now I'm 25,000 words into a novel, and several of my (usually honest) friends tell me they wouldn't be surprised to read that as a published book. So basically, all you have to do is keep at it. Your writing will massively improve with experience. Also, it helps to do what you're doing -- i.e. asking for feedback online. Another good thing to do would be to get some friends to look over your writing and tell you what they think... but tell them to be honest, or it's pointless. Even then, they might tend to be fairly generous with their praise (as I suspect my friends are with me). Good luck and keep at it!

Answer 3

I think there is SOME validity to that...

If someone ONLY listens to Rap or Metal or Thrash or Country... they may be locked into that "culture"

I listen to a fair amount of 70's 80's music... those were my "high school and college" tunes (Talking Heads, The Police, Phil Collins, Journey, Pat Benetar, Huey Lewis & the News...)

In the late 90's I found country music... and listen to MOSTLY that today... because I'm getting old I suppose... I can't understand metal, hip-hop, or rap !!

I also still listen to Classical, Pipes, and Opera since I was a choir / band member for years... as well as show-tunes (I'm straight darn it !!) since I was a stage-hand for years also.

Answer 4

There could be something to do with the type of music you listen to, the way you drive a vehicle, etc. Of course, if you listen to all types of music then you might be a music-buff and, probably, a person given to excesses, extravaganza, obsession, or simply an all-rounder, etc., but NOT necessarily so. These rules are only "vaguely indicative," but NOT necessarily, true, or accurate.

Answer 5

I'm like you. I listen to all sorts of music too, lol.
To answer your question, I don't think what music a person listens to determines their character. I've met some really nice people and they listen to music with some pretty violent lyrics.

Answer 6

probably you can get close to age and character. For instance I like "The Rolling Stones", George Thorogood and Joe Walsh. I could go on and on but that might give you a clue. Cheers!

Answer 7

I listen to 60s and 70s rock, I guess that makes me an old person? Ha ha ha, I really am!

Answer 8

i think it depends. the real question is what makes u drawn to the music u like? its weird how some ppl can love a song and others hate it.

Answer 9

like me. RANDOM. My moods switch a lot over music and other subjects. Even my favorite color changes from day to day.

Answer 10

It sounds like you're not a one-sided person! You probably don't eat just one food item at dinner either.
