Question by : Why do people like music according to their personality, and the way they dress?
Everyone likes music according to their personality. You can usually tell what type of music someone listens to by looking at how they dress. And how they look too. For example I listen to mostly alternative/punk rock, and Ive been told I look like it. And most people I meet with obnoxious personalities like the same type of music, and most of my friends like the same type of music I do. So why are musical likes like that?

Answer by Atmospherical World
Music is a lifestyle, and the fact that its one of the biggest industries in the world gives it away. Each genre of music evolved from people’s different styles. For example Hip Hop came from the neighbours hoods in the USA, the lyrics and style they used reflected on their life’s and once someone starts it it spreads out and becomes a style of music. Now the way people represented rap was what people call “Gangsta” and they had baggy jeans, hoods etc and that just influenced people, today celebrities influence people through the media.
Clothes brands then know what kind of clothes people are being shown there for produce them and in the end, people have that style.
It all comes down to how the music evolved, how the style is shown and the media.

I’ll disagree on the “music is noted by your dressing attire. Music is actually a mood stabilizer in some aspects and a venting mechanism for others. When you listen to poems what do you hear? Nothing but the voice of the person, and the same is for music, it is only words with a musical tone. I’m The “Ole Fogey” on Yahoo Answers and I enjoy Classical, Blue Grass, old time “rock n roll, and a few spiritual songs. I dress in whatever mood I’m in and where I’m going. As for the personality I have a degree in Psychology and Sociology, certificates of others, but I really enjoy listening to others talk about themselves! And for that statement I would enjoy listening to you also, just e-mail-it! Our personalities are made of many idiosyncrasies and we never understand ours nor anybody elses.
They relate to the music. I have very broad selection of music, and I only listen to the songs that reflect my current mood. This is probably the same case as everyone else. They listen to the songs they listen to because it appeals to their personality and their thoughts, NOT the other way round
