Find out here.Heavy metal fans are gentle and creative.According to music psychology scholar Adrian North, PhD, who conducted a three year study correlating the musical preferences and personality traits of more than 36, 000 participants, heavy metal fans “are quite delicate things" who are “basically the same kind of person" as classical music lovers, only younger.Classical fans are smart.Reflective and complex is a perfect descrip tion of both classical music and the people who listen to it. According to Dr. North s research, classical lovers are smart, creative, introverted, and show high self-esteem; they see listening as a theatrical experience and share a mutual ulove of the grandiose” with metal fans, though they tend to be older and make more money.Hip hop fans are extroverts.Energetic listeners and hip hop fans enjoy the social aspects of music： dancing, singing along, and experiencing it with others instead of imprisoning it in a pair of headphones. Like rappers themselves, hip hop fans rated as extroverted and had high self-esteem in North s research.Pop fans are outgoing and nervous.Pop fans show a lack of creativity compared to other categories, and tend to be worriers. They are, however, outgoing and sociable, and have high self-esteem. In general, extroversion is linked with a love of happy music.Rock fans are easy going but selfish.Classical rock fans work hard and are generally at ease with themselves. However, they're more self-centered than other listeners.

Punk rock fans are intense, energetic, and low on empathy.Folk, jazz, and blues fans are deep thinkers.Much like classical fans, these listeners are reflective, open minded, and highly creative.
