Music and Lifestyle

According to a recent study in the Psychology of Music journal the music you listen to has a link to the type of lifestyle you lead. Below are some of the stats they came up with by surveying 2500 people living in the U.K.

39% of rap fans had more than one sexual partner in the last 5 years.

Only 1.5% of country music fans did the same.

12% of opera music fans had tried magic mushrooms.

The study went on to say that:

56.9% of dance music fans and 53.1% of rap music fans confessed to taking part in criminal activity.

Only 17.9% of fans of musicals did the same.

This study was conducted by Dr. Adrain North from the University of Leicester. The next move is to extend the research worldwide, and you can help by answering a few questions at www.musicaltastetest.com.
