What will your musical preferences tell you about your psychological profile?

Music is what reveals a person’s psychological traits — it’s true. I am a teacher in creating audiovisual perception of music and I have a section that is in high demand among musicians and artists especially in the post-COVID period and that is evolution. The section is called evolutionary psychology or the psychology of the evolution of artists. It is not difficult to reveal such a subject: as characteristics inherent in a person who listens to a particular genre of music and today it is not difficult. People are divided into two categories: music lovers and ordinary people. First, you need to recognize a music lover or just an average person who prefers a style of music. This immediately drastically changes the situation. If someone is a music lover, you can reveal their psychological parameters more fully. If a person is a layman, it is much more difficult to reveal their psychological traits. Let’s sum up these two concepts of music lover and layman and on average let’s talk about character traits from the perspective of psychology. And so: pop music — people who prefer pop music are quite superficial and easily manipulated, they are like children in a kindergarten who are very obedient. Popular music is the music of the majority, people who are attracted to pop music are quite motivated. More often than not, the craving for pop music starts in childhood and when a person matures and matures and ends around the age of 20 or so. If the need persists, it means that the development of brain impulses that lead a person to philosophical tasks in life are inhibited. Popular music is listened to by young people from childhood to college. This music is project work and does not belong to music as such, it is project work. Project work like this is a concept, people might like it, but it’s not music from a musical point of view. She is not considered by music lovers who never listen to her. And so: hip-hop this music is more inherent in people with a fairly wide vocabulary, volumetric perception of information, people who are able to perceive large layers of text messages, read, with a developed presentation of information, they have excellent discourse is people who speak, who teach. Hip-hop is partially in contact with rap, especially in Russia and not only. It is more often noticed that it is a male population and, to a lesser extent, girls. who adhere to the hipster lifestyle. Hippies, hipstors are not dramatic-minded people, but very deep-minded people. Gifted children begin to get involved in hip-hop at the age of 5-7 years, such a child must have a large vocabulary to be interested in such music, which indicates normal psychological indicators. Classical music — in such music there are necessarily technical characteristics. People who listen to the classics are architects, engineers, inventors, creators, etc. Classical music is as complex as Gaudi’s buildings — like the most intricate architectural creations. People who like this kind of music will find in them a wide palette of colors, the maximum number of nuances that can only be seen in one person. These people are conservatives. Rock music is twofold, people who listen to rock are rockers, these are people who will go anywhere on the planet to see their favorite rock festival and there are those who just listen to rock. It’s just that people who listen to rock are versatile, good rock music causes a certain swagger and aspirations in people to develop their spiritual beginning. It’s inherent in people who aren’t rock fans. People who are rock fans can have a schizophrenic mindset and mental deviations, and people who listen to hard rock can be 95% with psychological understanding mental deviations. Disco is a certain era and it’s hard to say, the most important thing here is to understand when disco music was popular. People today who listen to disco are stuck in another era, in a certain state, which may have a tendency to dementia, nostalgia, joy, but they are calmer and more positive.
