Psychologist Adrian North from the University of Leicester surveyed 2500 Britons to find out how their musical tastes related to their lifestyles and interests. He said the results showed said it was possible to discover clues about what people were like simply from the music they liked. Almost 38 per cent of hip hop devotees and 29 per cent of dance music fans were more likely to have had more than one sexual partner in the last five years compared to just 1.5 per cent of country music fans. However they were also more likely to have broken the law, with more than 50 per cent of both hip hop and dance music lovers admitting committing a criminal act. A quarter of classical music fans have tried cannabis while 12 per cent of those who liked opera had experimented with magic mushrooms. "Surprisingly there have been very few studies on how people's age, sex, socioeconomic status and personality relate to the music they enjoy listening to," North said. He now wants to recruit 10,000 people for a wider study on his website www.musicaltastetest.com.
right? here's the results of my study. get married to someone you think is insanely attractive and is also your best friend. work on caring for her more than you do yourself. this crap works.
thanks madmax. I agree wholeheartedly. I should of quantified my original post with similar sentiments to yours. This study was posted to be ridiculed.
So THAT'S why I never got laid in high school. All those countless hours of listening to Weird Al were all for naught.
Eh, nothing wrong with marrage for those that want it. I know a lot of happy marrieds. But I have been single the first 36 years of my life and look forward to being single the next 36. I will miss out on a lot of things...but I am convinced I am happier this way.
Techno gets you AIDS according to Robin's news a couple of weeks ago. Howard: Hey JD you know why you get AIDS? Cause only queers listen to techno. You want vaginal intercourse, listen to hip hop.
In another portion of the study, Hip Hop enthusiasts also reported more STDs. I see your Weird Al and raise you Bach, Beethoven, and Johan Strauss.
What's useless about this study? I think it is very interesting, actually. It makes me wonder to what extent a person can bend their sincere aesthetic preferences in the pursuit of sex, drugs, or other rewards. Also, I thought it was funny how the journalists said hip hop fans have more sexual partners but commit more crimes, as if one would have thought the two were mutually exclusive.
Just as I thought, hip hop is the driving force behind drug abuse, crime, and stds. I'm sure Osama's holy war is really about erasing hip hop from the face of the earth and who are the good guys? People who listen to country music? They're to depressed to have sex of commit crime.
