I’m seeing a pattern here. Many of us are multi-music genre fans. I love Rock and Roll… Pop… and Christian Contemorary Music. Am I a rebellious, unintelligent do-gooder? No.. Like Clay… an angel with a crooked halo? lol I think this professor needs to revisit his study for this thesis. It’s way too narrow to say a person can be passionate about only one music genre.

Fascinating article. I didn’t quite understand where country, AC or hot AC listeners come in. I would assume the the research is based on today’s music in those genres. Seems like there are more music genres than ever. Radio stations pretty much stick to one genre. I’d like to read more about this subject.

I listen to all genres of music…except rap. But, I mainly listen to Clay Aiken. I love everything he does. Guess that makes me a pretty satisfied and happy person.

If I like pop, rock and jazz… Does that mean I take the best of each category or does it mean that I’m a mess???!!

Musicfan,

Being into a bit of most musical genres, I could just DITTO VoxLvr’s comment and be “a bit of a mess,” LOL!

Did Dr. Rentfrow miss country music? Having lived in Nashville for several years, I also appreciate this strain, too. After all, country paid the bills in our home for several seasons.

Thnx for a very informative and enjoyable read. Have a great week!

I am lisening to my iPod right now as a matter of fact! But, I guess I am rather boring because you won’t catch me with any rap or hard rock on it! I have to have some kind of melody and lyrics I can understand! Clay Aiken might be on it…I’ll have to check! LOL

I’m still recovering from your la Vida Loca blog. I have many diversified interests in music so it’s hard to pinpoint me down to just one; guess I’m schizophrenic that way when it comes to music. I DO know I love Clay Aiken’s music – it’s soothing and uplifting at the same time.

there’s virtually everything in my iPod right now…maybe with the exeption of brass band music.
does it mean I’m a schizophrenic or somethig? lol
it has to be said, tho, that Clay’s music is pretty much an exeption as I don’t listen to other singers with a similar style. Clay won me over with his voice and those banters.

Interesting study, but to me it’s lacking choices, thus
pigeon-holing people. My music library has everything from classical to Clay Aiken. My kids say I have elevator music taste..fine by me! I have asked them what elevator they heard Clay Aiken on..so I could go ride up and down with him, LOL.

Hummmmmm. Interesting study, albeit I don’t particularly agree with it (in some instances, yes – in mine, no). I have an eclectic taste in music, varied genres included in that. I love live music of ANY kind (except progressive jazz where I have no clue when the end is and have to wait upon others to applaud before I begin applauding in the middle of the piece lol).

Thanks for such an insightful blog (as always)
