What is your Favourite music genre?

No matter what you think about music these days, there will always be someone who will criticize what you listen to, or even go so far as to reject you as a person. In modern society, it is customary to judge too quickly. I found interesting facts about each type of genre and how we are classified.

Personally, I prefer listening to metal, rock, alternative, and also the Gothic side of things. My favorite bands of all time are Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir and some nu metal bands like Slipknot and Rammstein. I also wear band T-shirts, and yes, I am the proud owner of several pairs of new rock boots. Does that make me angry? Well, some people will judge even before they start a conversation or really get into my personality.

Here is a study conducted in different musical genres, and the results of each individual study.

It was found that people who like jazz, blues or soul music are more extroverted and have high self-esteem. They also tend to be very creative, smart and laid-back.
