  Yes but if you're massively into something extreme like heavy metal/ scream music and put it on at a party don't be surprised if you're not invited to the next party.
  Personal choice is fine but often people with extreme music taste like this are very snobbish against pop, indie or more main stream music and so don't enjoy that and expect everyone to enjoy their screamo music
context: It gets better after high school >
  
  I always get that weird look when people find out im into Deathmetal. >
  
  Cannibal Corpse deserves a Grammy >
  
  It does say something, but it's not as simplistic as 'bad pop music' = bad person. The majority of people don't really care that much about music, so they just listen to pop music and tiktok songs. It's just that music tastes normally make sense in conjunction with other things about a person, and together, all of them tell you something about the person >
  
  What if most of the time I don't listen to any music, I like silence >
  
  That tells me you’re a psychopath >
  
  How else are they supposed to know if you’re cool or not? >
  
  Your likes and dislikes are a part of your personality. >
  
  But it doesn't really say anything about which type of person I am. 
  Like if I told you I don't like beans, what would that tell you about my personality traits? Nothing. The only thing that it tells you is that I don't like beans. Same goes with music. >
  
  If you say you like eating shit it might influence my opinion of you, yes. >
  
  One of my friends listens to that weird sonic music and he acts exactly like how someone who listens to the sonic theme would act >
  
  Sonic music is kinda awesome. >
  
  The type of music you like and listen to often does represent some parts of your personality. >
  
  white teen boys listening to rap about robbing drugs and murder >
  
  Probably do drugs as opposed ti white teen boys listening to pop music >
  
  I am the exact white teen boy who listens to rap about robbing drugs and murder and I don’t do drugs, sure i might not necessarily represent the majority but that doesn’t mean it reflects my personality >
  
  Some people will judge me for things as dumb as the car I drive or literally the type of cell phone I use.
  I let them judge me. Let the drama queens weed themselves out of my life >
  
  My wife - 11 years together - still finds it odd that I am into death and brutal metal. I'm the most peaceful and mellowest dude ever, but I fricking love Cannibal Corpse, Cattle Decapitation, among others.
  She doesn't judge me for it, I mean, she knows me more than I know myself, but she's told me more times than I can count that she can't understand how someone as chill as me can like such violent lyrics and imagery, which in a way goes to show that most people outside of the metal scene still think metalheads are inherently crazy or violent. >
  
  We get a bad rep man. Some people love the loud aggressive nature of it >
  
  THANK YOU. Ong people all think one thing of me and that is that I’m a nerd HOWEVER when they find out that I’m into death metal and heavy metal and stuff like that they just assume I’m a pick me trying to be different!!! >
  
  For real. Everybody put me down for listening to John Philip Sousa’s marching music on my granddad’s hand-cranked Victrola. Now I’ve graduated to Fats Waller’s piano riffs. It’s lonely. >
  
  I remember how my friend judged me for listening to games ost. He said like go listen normal music like all people do. Well, fck you, Stan. I rather will listen to Nikke soundtrack while I playing it on bluestacks than will pretend "normal" by listening some pop music. Everyone has it's own tastes >
  
  It says something. Just not so much. Not enough to fully judge someone by a long shot.
  You sure this is an unpopular opinion? I don't think it is anymore. >
  
  Is music choice not a part of personality? Why would it be different from anything else that we find enjoyable or interesting? We’re humans and we always judge, even if we’re not saying it. >
  
  no because music has emotional content.  it actually does say something about you what sorts of things you like to feel or try to avoid feeling.
  like i can imagine conclusions being drawn about me based on my musical tastes, not flattering ones either, and i think they'd be accurate. >
  
  What if you don’t listen to music because of the lyrics? And if you listen to very different genres as well >
  
  The music itself has an emotional content.  But I'm not saying it always says something about the person, just that it can.  And even not listening music for the lyrics might say something about you. >
  
  I’ve never personally ever felt judged for my music taste. >
  
  I've had it so much I don't tell anyone about my music preferences. I just can't be arsed to deal with people. >
  
  People love judging what they don’t know. I listen to a lot of country music and often have people making assumptions about me because of it that aren’t true. They act like country music is purely post 9/11 America is great my tractor is sexy bullshit and it’s not. There’s so much more to every genre when you look under the surface >
  
  Music is a big influence and is just another thing for folks to judge you on among the list of many, as a black man I still feel a small sliver of guilt when I’m enjoying some classical rock or alternative music as opposed to some gangsta rap and some folks give the side eye it is what it is. Embrace the weirdness >
  
  Or when you find an old song from some form of recent media, people get real annoyed about that too for some reason >
  
  Yes ok I can be very judgy when it comesto taste in arts and media but I cannot bloody stand when people do that. Also most of those people generally say something that equates to "I'm way older than you" and I'm not sure that's something to be wicked proud of. >
  
  As someone who listens to metal this is a major problem, also i can never play my music at social gatherings :( >
  
  I like freak folk, post-punk, and experimental rock. No one lets me play music either. :( >
  
  Won't judge unless your entire music taste comes purely from tiktok >
  
  So u do judge then😅 >
  
  The condition is justified >
  
  Doesn't matter. He/she is still judging >
  
  Judgment is morally correct when tiktok songs are in question >
  
  You are aware that TikTok songs exist and can be found off of TikTok, right? >
  
  The best thing about the internet is a joke can sound completely serious >
  
  Agreed. Genuinely didn't realize you were joking because this exact sentiment is frequently repeatedly unironically >
  
  I've never been friends with someone who didn't at least partially share their music taste with me. And it's not that I'd refuse to talk with someone who doesn't listen to similar music to me. I just talk with someone, get along, and later find out what music they like. We always had at least one genre in common. 
  And I know some people who listen exclusively to rap or pop, and I'm not friends with them. We don't have anything in common to talk about.
  Personality, appearance, hobbies, music taste, it's all connected. It's not absolute, obviously, but I feel like I can tell which people I'll not be able to be good friends with >
  
  Yep >
  
  It says a lot >
  
  depends on the reason you like it >
  
  I always get that weird look when people find out im into Deathmetal. I also got asked if im a satanist because of it >
  
  If you are 13 years old yes. Otherwise no. >
  
  This was worse before. 
  Listening to both metal and rap was completely forbidden and both groups would consider you a poser. >
  
  From a psychology standpoint no it is not. According to what I was taught at uni apparently it's weird to not judge people on their music taste. >
  
  I like Slipknot,50 cent,Chopin and Dabeull. I wonder how people would judge me based on that lol.
