Psychology of Music Preference                                                                                              Facts about individual music preference:  Most people listen to a wide range of musical genres, especially now that music has become more accessible (cheap downloads, free streaming, easy sharing, youtube videos, etc).  The choice of a particular musical genre is driven mostly by our social-identity  (e.g., if you think of yourself as an intellectual you will like Jazz or Classical, if you see yourself as a rebel you will like Rock or Heavy Metal, although preference for Rock and Heavy Metal is more common today in middle aged IT programmers than in youth in revolt, and the intellectuals of tomorrow will...
