Music and behavior

Now I know those two are related. Everybody can notice some patterns and it seems that some of us had done a study.
The results:
"

WHAT STUDIES SAY ABOUT YOUR SOUNDS:

POP: Conformists, overly responsible, role-conscious, struggling with sexuality or peer acceptance.

HEAVY METAL: Higher levels of suicidal ideation, depression, drug use, self-harm, shoplifting, vandalism, unprotected sex.

DANCE: Higher levels of drug use regardless of socio-economic background.

JAZZ/RHYTHM & BLUES: Introverted misfits, loners.

RAP: Higher levels of theft, violence, anger, street gang membership, drug use and misogyny.

It is important to note that it is not the music that for example make people kill themselves. No, this study is about types of people that prefer a certain type of music.

In other words, if you are depressed and want to put a hole in your mouth you are probably listening to heavy metal. Not the other way around.

As always this doesn't mean that EVERY guy who listens to rap is violent and angry but there is a pattern and it should be taken into consideration.
