What Does My Taste in Music Tell You About Me?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><iframe width=\"100%\" height=300vh src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p5-i4X1WOTI?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe>People have always been curious about the things that make them who they are. One of the things that many people relate to the most is their taste in music. The music you like can tell a lot about your personality, and can also help you find other people who have similar tastes in music as you do.<\/p>\n<p>The type of music that I listen to is usually rap and R&#038;B, but I am open to listening to almost any type of genre. I feel as though I am an open-minded individual because I am willing to try new things and meet new people. When it comes to music, this is especially true because there are so many different types of genres out there, it&#8217;s impossible not to enjoy at least one of them. If someone were to ask me what my favorite song was, it would be hard for me to choose one because there are so many songs that I like. However, if someone were to ask me what my favorite genre was, I would say R&#038;B\/Soul. There&#8217;s just something about the way that R&#038;B\/Soul makes me feel that sets it apart from every other genre out there. The songs are calming and relaxing, but they still make me want to dance whenever they play on the radio or when I hear<\/p>\n<p>The average person may not realize it, but their taste in music can tell you a lot about who they are. From the way they dress, to what type of car they drive, all the way down to what kind of music they listen to. You can learn a lot about a person from what type of music they listen to, and how often.<\/p>\n<p>Just like there is no such thing as good or bad taste in clothes, there is no such thing as good or bad taste in music. The only thing that matters is if you enjoy listening to it or not. There are so many different genres of music out there, and each one appeals to a different group of people.<\/p>\n<p>You can tell the difference between the different types of people just by looking at their headphones or what is on their phone. If you were given the choice between two people with the same exact appearance, but one had rock music on their phone and the other had rap music on their phone, who would you choose?<\/p>\n<p>When looking at your own personal style, you may find that most of your choices match up with what your personality is like when talking to other people. If you want to change your personality slightly, then maybe listening to a new genre of music could help influence that change.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to finding out what kind of music you like, there are many different variables you can use to measure your musical taste. Some people prefer a certain genre, for example rap. Others may prefer the more complex sounds of Jazz, or even the powerful beats of rock and roll.<\/p>\n<p>In my case I find that I have a very mixed taste in music. My favorite kind of music is electronic; however I do appreciate some aspects of other genres. Electronic music has many different types and styles, but my favorite type is trance. Trance music has always been a part of my life, ever since I was little. The way that the beat controls me is something that I have never experienced before and will most likely never experience again; the way it makes me feel is second to none.<\/p>\n<p>However, as much as I love electronic music, this doesn&#8217;t mean that I don&#8217;t enjoy other types of music such as rock or pop. One song in particular that I enjoy listening to is Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf. The song starts off with a slow yet powerful guitar riff accompanied with some drums and then jumps into a high octane chorus that has an amazing drum solo at the end of it; giving me goosebumps every time I hear it.<\/p>\n<p>My taste in music is a little bit like looking into my soul. The songs I listen to are moody and ethereal. They focus on the darker side of life and love, but also use a lot of metaphors to describe these things. The lyrics are typically dark and thought provoking, but also create an image in your head as you listen. The words paint a picture, while the music creates an atmosphere to go with it.<\/p>\n<p>I feel that my personality is very much like that too. I have a pessimistic view of life and love, but I can also look at it from someone else&#8217;s perspective. <\/p>\n<p>The music I listen to helps me get out of my own head for a second, creating something more beautiful in its place.<\/p>\n<p>Does music determine your personality? Many people believe that the music someone listens to reflects his or her personality, but that is not always the case. I am a person who listens to different kinds of music, depending on my mood. If I&#8217;m in a bad mood, I listen to hardcore rap since it tends to have a negative vibe and it makes me feel better. If I&#8217;m in an alright mood, I listen to alternative or pop songs since they are more uplifting and cheerful. And if I&#8217;m in a great mood, I listen to upbeat dance music since it is more fun and happy. However, the music someone chooses to listen to is not always based on their mood; it could also be based on their social environment or the location they are in. For example, if someone is with their friends at a party, they might listen to dance music since that&#8217;s what everyone else likes and it&#8217;s socially acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>When I was in high school, my taste in music was very different from today because most students at my school liked listening to rap and rock songs. This influenced me because I didn&#8217;t want others thinking of me as different from them so I decided to start listening to rap and rock songs as well. Now that I am older, my taste in<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been said that music is the language of emotions. It can take you back in time, instantly. It can evoke a feeling of happiness or sadness and make you feel like you&#8217;re not alone.<\/p>\n<p>What does your taste in music say about your personality?<\/p>\n<p>The study, \u201cLiking for Music Genres and Personality,\u201d was published online in March in the journal Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity, and the Arts. The researchers analyzed the listening habits of over 36,000 individuals from around the world who took an online survey where they rated their musical preferences and answered questions about their personalities.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent analysis of over 36,000 people worldwide, there were two major dimensions to musical preferences: &#8220;Intensity\/sensitivity&#8221; (related to openness) and&#8221;Empathetic\/unempathic&#8221; (related to agreeableness).<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that people who identified with genres such as blues, jazz, classical and folk tended to be more introverted and open-minded. People who said they liked pop music tended to be more extroverted and agreeable. Rap fans tended to be more extroverted and open-minded; country music fans tended to be more agreeable; rock fans tended to be less open-minded<\/p>\n<p>I like listening to all sorts of music, but my favorite is electronic music. Electronic music is a music genre that consists of entirely or largely artificially produced sounds. The first electronic musical instruments were developed at the end of the 19th century, and now electronic music includes many different styles and genres, such as house music, techno, dubstep, trance and more.<\/p>\n<p>Electronic music has a unique sound; it uses synthesizers, drum machines that are programmed by computer and turntables. In addition to its wide variety of sounds, electronic instruments can also create new sounds that have never been heard before.<\/p>\n<p>The reason I like electronic music is not just because it sounds cool; it&#8217;s also because it makes me feel happy. To me, dance music represents freedom and fun. I love the way that I can listen to the same song over and over again and feel a different emotion each time. It&#8217;s almost as if I&#8217;m listening to a new song every time. Electronic dance music makes me feel energized and excited. It gives me an adrenaline rush similar to when you&#8217;re on a roller coaster or bungee jumping.<\/p>\n<p>I think that people who enjoy listening to electronic dance music tend to be extroverted, socially outgoing individuals who really enjoy being around other people<iframe width=\"100%\"\" height=300vh src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pRwLmwrMuQk?autoplay=1&#038;mute=1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People have always been curious about the things that make them who they are.
