According to a recent study, taste in music is linked to the size of your pen... er education and wallet.

I have to question the legitimacy of a study where you could substitute class for age and still have it be plausible.
My first car was a kubelwagen.
I installed 3000watt car stereo into it and played Horst Wessel lied in a loop.
I read that article and laughed. Way to stereotype people; create a half-assed survey and draw and present conclusions as valid socioeconomic data,......pure fucking genius ac_rollseyes . I'd like to know who funded that study because it was a complete waste of monetary resources.
Taste in music has nothing to do with the size of your wallet or your educations level. It's a function of what kind of music you are exposed to in your formative years and then you as an individual build upon that exposure. Music like any form of art has to elicit an emotional response in order for it to be appreciated. Emotional responses are NOT determined by the size of your bank account or how many books you read or how far you have gone in your education.
The conclusions drawn from that survey were complete bull cookies. It was just another way to label people.
I listen to classical music all the time.
I love it..
It gives me a buzz.
So does heavy metal.
I guess to some extent "music you are exposed to in your formative years " but we are all wired different too and that wiring affects what satisfies and / or energizes us
Seems polls are often set up to give the results desired and make the people commissioning the poll feel good about themselves / justify their existence ac_smile

I agree it was snobbery Renee, but I don't care..
Anyone that would pretend to like a form of music because they think it will place them on a higher rung on the social ladder should be pitied.
A research made by some pretentious asshole with serious stick up his/her ass.
I really like finnish and german march music.
