I have no idea if this has been asked before. I'm not going to search for music cos it will bring up newbies asking whats the best music to spin to.
But does anyone find that the music they listen to is the opposite of their personality? For those who know me, I can be kind of crazy and insane, but the music I listen to is quite chilled out. One of my friends ommented on this and said he knows someone who is the same.
Anyone else find this?
ps: whats the best music to spin to?

I'm sort of shy and not so loud, but I listen to anything from rock & punk rock to trance & dance music. People laugh at me when I tell them this...

I listen to whatever mood I WANT to be in. Since music has such a profound effect on me.
Right now, it's a snow day and I'm home snuggled up listening to "Classical Guitar" on digitallyimported.com
NICE and chill.
Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

Totally depends on wat mood i'm in... if I'm trying to get to sleep, then its relaxing, if i'm going out to partay, its dance, pop, r'n'b (yes i know, but some of its not that bad) or if i'm in a wierd mood could be anything. I recently rediscovered system of a down the other day, as I bought there new album. I got all of them now! I love it!

well, it might be a matter or how the people know you. I used to listen to slipknot and exodus and i used to head bang, but really, im actually a pretty sweet guy... i dont cross the line. Its just that no one will know you more than you do. Thats a fact. Now, as for me, ive changed alot. Im listening to new age music like enigma, enya, deep forest. For that, i blame poi
and the bezerker are... well were completely amazing. I dont Listen to any metal and hard rock music. I guess im just a techno boy... "I don't know what you are talking about"

Are there more people like me, who get chilled by deathmetal music and every other fast, loud, heavy music and get aggressive by chilling music, like meditationbirdthing- and ocean- etc music? I really can't listen to meditation music, it freaks me out (And that sort of music can be really good)!! Is that crazy?

i listen to psy trance when im doing poi, or work, because it helps me concentrate. other than that, i like good ol' rock n roll! and i guess it suits my personality because i like to party, get drunk and dance about a fair bit

Triptoe: when I'm angry and want to calm down I usually throw on some metal or rock, good to just get anger out through the music, and all is well.
When people look at me they would take me as a metal/rock type person... which I am (although I am not a metalhead). However I also like artists such as Tracy Chapman, John Butler Trio, and Cat Empire. I like Mandy Moore and boy bands from the 2000's. Pop-punk and what is know known as "wanna-be punk" so Good charlotte, Simple Plan. Then I get into bands like Arrogant Worms (which are quite a patriotic band, unfortunatly I'm not Canadian like they are).
One of my friends has recently gotten me into The Pixies, which doesn't fit in there either.
So yes, what I listen to can be the opposite of how others see me, but none of my music tastes make sense!

I think people on the street would be surprised at my music tastes, but my friends know me well enough to know they suit me and always have.
I tend to dress in a fairly normal jeans and t-shirt, boardering on business casual manner, with your odd bit of silly girly jewllery and make-up when i go out, but i listen to anything from pop-punk (blink-182, millencollin, bodyjar etc.) through punk and hardcore (anti-flag, sick of it all, poison the well) to metal (slipknot, system of a down, korn) and there's usually a good amount of altern/indie kinda stuff (eskimo joe's old stuff, everclear, foo fighters, ben folds five) and then there's just weird things like the dresden dolls (i

Woah! I barely even remember making this thread!
And my music tastes have changed since! I still like the stuff I liked when I made this (which was Epicure, Lamplight, Jeff Buckley and others) however I've gotten a lot more dancy and therefore a lot more like my personality!

my music preferences usually coincide with my mood. i find i don't like types of music or bands i just like certain songs that seemed to be picked randomly from Rammstein to Cat Empire right through to footloose. yes i can openly admit i love footloose! but as i said it depends on my mood

spinning to death metal proper gets me pumped up but inevitably leaves me tired, aching and very sweaty (oo er) so generally after that ill whack on some classical and have a chill spin. stuff like hardcore / psytrance is ok (i guess) if your in a club or what have you, but certainly wouldnt be my first choice. clowncore on the other hand, phat to spin to, gives you loads of energy and has a paht bouncy beat https://www.myspace.com/edcox
or something along those lines...check it out anyhoo.
