I used to listen to rap almost exclusively because it was cool. But as I got older and out of high school I migrated to metal/rock because a friend showed me some bands. But eventually I came to realize that I relate so much more to the lyrics and emotion in a extreme metal track than a rap song. The majority of good metal is very emotional and I find that to be very interesting considering the musical style

[@annieleonhart365]

I love both heavy metal and rock, but I also enjoy listening to classical music as well. It wasn't until I did some research of my own that I discovered that both metal and rock were derived from the style and tones of classical music. That's when it clicked and I realized why I liked the genres listed above. And it also explains why I like symphonic/ochrasteric metal. On a similar topic, there was a study that was conducted not too long ago that found that listeners of rock and metal had a similar personality, temperament, and demeanor of those individuals who listen to classical music. Just some food for thought. Additionally, yes, I act and think exactly how you described rockers and metalheads are. I think it happens to be very strange how there's a stigma attached to how we're supposed to act based upon the music we listen to in society. I remember having a rare, casual conversation with some of my classmates in school and as I was very, extremely shy and reserved back then, they were astonished that I even listened to half of the music I said I did; they thought I was too nice and gentle to listen to bands like Slayer and Grim Reaper once they looked up who they were! :)

[@reka_sz0]

Im no expert, but don't forget rocks roots in blues, jazz, country etc, so black american music and folk music. But I think rock and metal did develop into a more classical like direction later. Im also a big fan of these genres and usually shy and introverted.

[@theriddled214]

The one music genre I truly enjoy that has that powerful emotional feeling, is video game music. It's so strange but relaxing how music can make you relate to the characters from it's story. Minecraft volume beta is a album that reminds me of how majestic the good old days can be. I know it's just a game but if your that into games, you want to relate to the world of them as well

[@HardBloodNelza]

I also dig listening to soundtracks. If you've ever beaten a game with a story line, listening to the soundtrack takes you back on that journey.

[@alessiodaini7907]

I find music game can't be a genre, because you can produce a music game indipendently on genre. You can find metal/rock/pop and etc... inside a game. Videogames are art, so music is important, since it does give us atmosphere.

[@xtoftef]

Well music in video games can really be any genre but chiptune/8bit music would be the closest thing to being an actual video game music genre.

[@edi0157]

Yeah, for me it is FIFA soundtracks, the nostalgia of playing those games and listening to them is immense. And many I love because of their message too, which is really the point of a song for me

[@Mario-yj3le]

Yeah same. Payday, Terraria, Minecraft and even Boneworks and lots more. Its just amazing what these people can make. Like in payday all the songs have different stages for phases of assaults and it just adds something special. Boneworks is kind of in a weird place because of its theme but the synth and the opera at the end really fit well. Terraria has a soundtrack that I hold really close to my heart and my favourite mod soundtrack is from calamity. Like yahron phase 2 (forgot what the track was called) is just amazing and brings me back to me playing with my friend back in the day.

You should do a video on "music therapy" and how people can listen to different types of music to help themselves psychologically. For example, some music can be "healing" and helpful for processing and dealing with emotional trauma; other types of music can help one feel more energetic, improve mental functions, feel more positive, etc. For myself, I've recently started listening to a lot of adult contemporary jazz to help deal with work stress, depression and anxiety related to the pandemic, and it's helped me a lot.

I listen to several different types of music, the only one I don't listen to is country, classical, or dance music. However most of my songs in the other genres are sad or in different languages.

[@JokingSteak]

I kind of bounced around between genres all my life. In fifth grade I briefly listened to classic rock due to this show I use to watch called supernatural. By high school, I was listening to rap and hip hop, (Pop at times) which I'm convinced was just a phase because that's what most of my schoolmates would listen to and I was very selective depending on the lyrics. Out of high school I was really just playing video game soundtracks in the background while I did whatever. Despite this, I always caught myself coming back to country music, probably because I grew up with my dad listening to it. I feel like each country song is like a story about a point in somebody's life. As a fairly creative person who writes in his own time, this is probably why songs like, "What hurts the most" resonated with me more than anything else. With that being said, I feel this video is only half right about me. I wouldn't consider myself outgoing or emotionally stable, and I'd be down to experience anything new with the right group of people. But making new friends is nerve-racking as hell, haha. It should go without saying, I'm very introverted, but at least being hardworking and being around others, mainly a few close friends who share my interests, does describe me quite a bit. Funny story, on the first day of school in sixth grade, my teacher had everyone write down a question on a piece of paper and throw it across the room and we all had to pick one up. I got the one that asked what music I listened to of course, and not sure what to say since I wasn't really into anything in particular at the time I responded, "Country". The entire class erupted in laughter, and I was extremely embarrassed. When the same thing happened to another kid who liked metal, the teacher got after everyone.

There were some genres that didn't quite lean in one direction, like jazz. I personally prefer the fast, "hot jazz" sound that align with my INTJ fondness of metal and classical (orchestral), but isn't as fond of smooth jazz. The study also proposed the reasons my personality type like those and dislike pop and country is a preference towards virtuosic musicianship over lyrics. All that being said, there's a completely unrelated study that suggest whatever music you are exposed to around the age of 13-14 will forever resonate with you. This came up as more of a reason why people tend to dislike changes in music by the next generation, but also account for regional differences in music preference. This also explain why I like brass band music as I grew up playing low brass.

2:56 But I did not get mentioned? I see how it is 😔😢😭

[@zoeyhunter]

I was waiting for the Indie music to pop up. Turns out everything you stated is true.

[@lauren9536]

I love a lot of music, but the only genre I can say I don’t like is probably pop. For me, it’s just too mainstream! But (unpopular opinion nowadays) I really love country music. For those of you who don’t like it or think it’s stupid, I think you should look at the lyrics of the songs. Songs like “Brothers” by Dean Brody and “Travelin’ Soldier“ by The Chicks are really beautiful. I don’t always listen to country, but when I do, I feel happy, at ease, and inspired. ☺️ Thank you Psych2Go for an awesome video!! Love you guys 🧡

[@captaincombat248]

completely agree with you, country music is not all that popular today, and I personally think country is one of the best genres of music,

[@SneakyPeakyLeaky]

As someone who’s favourite genres are rock, metal, and indie, you’ve literally just described my whole personality

[@drinasun6984]

I love listening to music. The genres depend on my mood. I listen to pretty much everything.

[@chloecreel5387]

Agree

[@not._cypress]

This must be one of my favorite videos since I'm really PASSIONATE about music and I plan on making a career of it, TY so much Psych2go ❤️

[@theaveragejoe2809]

I personally really like hiphop/rap as well as indie music which is interesting because the personality types are quite conflicted. I am generally considered an introvert

[@JefeTakito]

Omg is Hatsune Miku in the thumbnail that's cute

[@aspieangel1988]

Yes! I’m an extrovert and creative but my self esteem is low and I hate hard work 😂 I’m a gentle soul too. I love both pop and rock so I’m a combination of both. 😅

[@arsengevorgyan2901]

I feel like hip-hop fans can be in both sides of the personality spectrum. From the type of dude that be listenin to that "fly shit" and when ya see him he always got that swag and it's all good vibes wit him (that's me), to the one more into the anthemic type shit that someone listens to while workin towards they goals (goin crazy during workouts), to someone that be listenin to a lotta deep shit to heal they pain

[@dhandeepmili4883]

Oh my god did you put a K-On reference there?? I love it

[@alexistourand8058]

Rock and heavy metal is so true for me, and it's all I listen to (and my dad and sister call it trash, but it's what I like, and it help me drown out everybody/everything else)😉

My Playlist on Spotify is so mixed that it's difficult to pin just one down. There's Broadway, female punk, lots of LGBT, but i think if i had to pick one genre over all the ones i enjoy it'd have to be Celtic music. I LOVE Irish music so freaking much!

[@laluneestverte]

do you have any recommandations of female punk bands or songs? :)

[@SkylarFlowers783]

@@laluneestverte Actually yeah! Beach Bunny is one band i really like to listen to. It's not exactly punk but it's got some great poppy sounds to a rebellious female vibe.

metal, classical, jazz. by comparing all of the traits of these and then always picking the dominant ones and ones missing from others, you nail me

[@YourBoyTrue]

A fine selection. I vibe with Metal and Indie, but I think the genre that really resonates with me is Southern Gothic.

[@mrhad1452]

My favourite music genre is everything. Keep up the good work.

[@echavocals]

What about people who listen to songs they relate to? I listen to a lot of Vocaloid which can be difficult to categorize due to its branching genres. But I listen to a lot of the…depressing songs. (Ex: Rolling Girl, Lost One’s Weeping, Jishoumushoku, Inochi ni Kirawarete iru).

[@sif-eddine8240]

That's indie music I think

[@yashpandey2782]

Yeah I believe this video is true for me, I love punk and indie, Green Day being the favorite for me. And yes I'm an introvert and a wall flower, but I guess I know several rock lovers who are the biggest extroverts and are the most outgoing guys I have ever met. So, yeah I believe a music taste can't define anyone at all.

[@slaydeforbes6397]

I go for dubstep mostly, but I think it really depends on the _subgenre_ you prefer, like melodic riddim or tearout or just plain classic dubstep.

[@Snoflakes_1]

4:10 Is that cartoon Avicii? 🥺 I'm a big EDM fan, so Idk if Dance really cuts it. The personality traits line up quite a bit though, so I guess so

[@D144AU_Creations]

I think it is, so happy someone else noticed! :)

[@snowfox2192]

My favorite is dance music, and it fits with me id say. Love to be myself, usually involving lots of random voice changes, and off the cuff jokes, to make people laugh where I can. P.S. I LOVE that you included art of "Mayday" from "No Straight Roads" as the art under Rock. Such a great game to play through, even if i was a bit conflicted fighting AGAINST my favorite music style the whole game. I really enjoy seeing the gaming easter eggs you slip into these videos.

Hey! Metal and heavy rock fan here I am very introverted and have social anxiety so it's nice to know my music taste matches my personality lol

[@justarandomdude8138]

Lol same

[@jameshansen7108]

I love two types of music: Jazz/electro swing, and I'm not sure what to call it, but it's the 'Lo-Fi' type of music. But funnily enough, I'm quite introverted, I love spending time alone and being creative, or studying and learning new things.

[@user-bb5ku5cr6k]

Hey, what about people who like to listen to Catholic chants and medieval songs?

[@leguichettravel1599]

Mostly adventurous.

[@anna.augustinova]

My favourite genres are pop, rap and hip-hop and especially the hip-hop description was quite the opposite of me. Though I agree that I like to define myself with music - it sometimes makes me feel energised, self-confident or excited which are things that I naturally miss and would like to have/be.

[@TheOneTrueGesta]

I love electronic dance music, you're description of dance makes sense.

[@faretheewell27]

I love that my favorites are in order in this video: indie, classical, country, and jazz.

Nice to see someone who likes country 🧡
