What does your musical collection say about you?

Well, the following are the results of a study at the University of Leicester, comparing people's musical tastes to their lives:-

* Fans of musicals : have the longest lasting relationships.

* Blues : the biggest smokers!

* Dance: take the most holidays!

* Indie : most environmentally conscious.

* Hip-hop : most likely to have been arrested (!!).

* And finally! - it seems 70% of pensioners are disco fans!!

That's like saying that if you've got ginger hair then you were more likely to be picked on at school though....

[Vivienne]

Well, it just seems to be the results that came up when people were asked!

And people with ginger hair do tend to get picked on more at school! They were in my class! (which is very silly, btw!). Not condoning such behaviour at all. Long live the Ginger Snaps!

Did they really need to invest time and money into that study in order to dig out those old stereotypes?

[Bonanzoid]

Seconded.

[Zoot]

and what about us with mostly rock music?
Let me guess - Most likely to have leather jackets and ride motorbokes?

[Andy B]

Jazz fans are most likely to favour beards

Folk music fans are most likely to own an accordian and drink real ale.

Country fans all drive trucks and have cousins as lovers?

[Andy B]

Yeah but that one's a fact though rather than just a stereotype.
