I agree that it's a very interesting observation, but there's no accounting for the silent members who are downloading the very same things. It could just be a coincidence that those interested in talking
and interested in procuring Japanese pornography have a tendency to like the same types of music.
I don't fit the observation, either. But I could just be an outlier.
I agree with you that this thread's gotten a heavy dose of metal replies. What sort of music do I listen to?
By Time
1. Oldies (1950s-1970s)
Things like
Dust in the Wind by Kansas or
My Way by Frank Sinatra or
The House of the Rising Sun by The Animals or ...
2. 1980s classic rock and soft rock
Things like Journey's
Don't Stop Believing, Billy Joel's
Piano Man, AC/DC's
She Shook Me All Night Long ...
3. 1990s-2000s select songs
Here or there, an occasional song that I like. Not really good decades for claiming a love of an entire genre (at least not for me).
By Origin
1. theme song to a TV show, song from a movie
These can be nostalgic ones like DuckTales or more recent stuff like a song from The Dark Knight. I have a ton of television and cinema music in my collection, way more than I do performing artists' stand-alone productions.
2. Culturally-embedded song
Things like
the Vietnam War Song,
I'm a Believer (either band's
), or Mozart's
Symphony No.40 are heard in so many TV commercials, TV shows, and films, not to mention heard on the radio or heard being hummed or whistled by people on the street, that as a human being growing up over time one can't help but to find these songs familiar -- and familiarity tends to produce fondness.
3. Discovered on my own (or otherwise not that famous)
Songs from the Internet like
The Legend of Zelda: the Wind Waker ~ Unplugged or
United Breaks Guitars don't really fit in the other categories. They're not all that famous. They're not in films. Etc. But they're just good songs, and I like 'em so much on the first hearing that I try to find out where I can get them.
