There's just as many facets to my atypical personality as there is to the hundereds of genres of music I employ, seek out, and enjoy.
One contention of the debate that could be roused, if at all, is whether listening to whichever one genre more than the others more deeply affects someone (and
changes one's characteristics in the process) or if it is our inherent 'base' personality that goes to seek out the genre which most resembles and soothes/inspires the individual.
The wrinkle in this is that unless based on a true scientific analaysis of one(s) without any musical knowledge and inclination whatsoever, and given the same (vast) library of genres to listen to in the same timeframe (say, three years of an ongoing trial-and-error group listening experiment) this listing is entirely subjective, more closely related to sterotypes, and is just a survey of the product of society's connotations on any specific-type of subcategorized encompassing genre of music.
