How Your Music Taste Reflects Your Personality

This is a response to 25 Songs That Send You, A Millenial, Back To Your Childhood With Just The Opening Notes.

I had always been a music lover, ever since I was a little kid. My parents would play everything from classic rock to jazz around the house, and I would soak it all up like a sponge. As I got older, I started to develop my own taste in music, and it became a defining part of my personality.

One day, I was at a party with some friends, and we were all hanging out in the living room, chatting and sipping on drinks. Someone put on some music, and I immediately perked up when I heard the familiar guitar riffs of my favorite band. I started tapping my foot and singing along, completely lost in the music.

Suddenly, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see a girl I didn't know, with a shy smile on her face. "I love that band too," she said. "They're my favorite."

I felt a surge of excitement in my chest. Finally, someone who appreciated the same music as me! We started chatting about our favorite albums, and before I knew it, we were deep in conversation about all kinds of music. It felt like we had known each other for years, and I couldn't believe how easy it was to talk to her.

As the night went on, we kept talking and laughing, and I couldn't help feeling like I had found a kindred spirit. We exchanged numbers before we left the party, and I couldn't stop smiling as I walked home. It was amazing to connect with someone over something as simple as music, and I knew that this was the start of a beautiful friendship.

From that day on, we would send each other songs and albums we were into, and we even went to a few concerts together. It was like we had our own little music community, and it was one of the best things that had ever happened to me.

Studies have shown that there is a significant relationship between musical preferences and personality traits. In fact, researchers have found that people with similar personalities tend to listen to similar types of music. So, what does your music taste say about you?

First, let's explore the different personality traits that have been associated with various music genres. People who enjoy classical music tend to be introverted, imaginative, and creative. They are often open-minded, sensitive, and enjoy their own company. On the other hand, individuals who listen to heavy metal and hard rock are typically extraverted, adventurous, and assertive. They are often rebellious, but also highly independent and self-assured.

Fans of country music tend to be agreeable, friendly, and hardworking. They enjoy being part of a community and often have strong family values. Pop music fans, on the other hand, are typically outgoing, energetic, and highly social. They enjoy being around others and often have a positive outlook on life.

Moving on to hip hop and rap, fans of this genre tend to be highly confident, competitive, and goal-oriented. They are often assertive and may have a strong sense of self-identity. Lastly, those who enjoy jazz tend to be creative, open-minded, and intellectual. They are often introspective and enjoy challenging themselves intellectually.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
