1. Musical taste linked to personality →

    Heavy metal fans are gentle, indie music listeners lack self-esteem and lovers of pop music are uncreative, according to research.

    Country and western fans are hard-working, rap fans outgoing and jazz and classical music supporters are innovative and bursting with self-confidence.

    Contrary to the stereotype, heavy metal fans are gentle and at ease with themselves but they tend not to be hardworking.

    Those who listen to heavy metal and classical music share character traits, according to the research, of being creative, at ease and introverted. But classical music fans have high self-esteem while heavy rock fans lack self-belief.
