Fans of Indie music had low self-esteem and were not hard working, fans of Rap music had high self-esteem and were outgoing. Country & Western fans were hardworking and outgoing, Reggae fans were creative but not hardworking, and fans of chart pop had high self-esteem, were not creative, but where hardworking and outgoing.
So which one are you?

I like classical, especially 20th Century orchestra and chamber music.
I think most opera is a crashing bore.
Heavy metal is OK, but gets numbing and tiresome after a while, but maybe thats the point. I'll take punk over metal. Rockabilly over punk. I find Indie to be boring and cliquey. I don't like rap --I like the poetry and rhythm, but hate the bludgeoning bass.
I like Western more than Country, and yes, there is a difference. I love reggae live, but rarely listen to reggae recordings. Chart pop proves that people will buy anything.
I also like jazz --especially big band jazz, swing, and New Orleans jazz out of the 1930s. I believe as an article of faith that Coltrane knows where he is going, but I've never been able to figure it out.
I like blues and gospel, choral music, bagpipes, and marching bands. I hate women folkies playing oversize dreadnought guitars.
I have high self-esteem, am creative and hardworking, but I am not particularly outgoing. I am kind, loyal, and disobedient. I like dogs, but like cats more. I like Scotch and butterscotch, dislike bourbon and applesauce. I don't think any of that has anything to do with my tastes in music.
