well... its good thing i don't have coldplay on my chart although my top 10 is looking a little to "gay".

and i don't really think there is a difference between what genders listen to it is more about what environment you grew up in, wether you were listening to country, rap hip hop(ghetto), metal, slutpopradiomainstream... which in my opinion people from these genres are always close minded and never want to listen to anything else, or they think everything else is garbage.

I don't know maybe it has to do with how smart a person is or how educated they are??? Think

all i know is that my GF's music tastes are aweful:

Electro (blaaerrrch!)
Lady Gaga
Rihanna
Britney Spears
and those radio stations that play that rap/dance/auto-tune bullshit

she hates almost all of everything i listen to, the only bands (strangely enough) that we have some 'crossover appeal' to are:

Blink 182 & Sonic Youth

[disclaimer] but she's the most wonderful human-being & i love her! Cool

Yeah, I know what you mean. A few months ago, I had a conversation with my girlfriend at the time that went something like this:

Me: I've been listening to a lot of NIN lately.
Annie: You should be careful about putting that kind of stuff into your head, Charlie!
Me: Okay, then what's the heaviest band you've ever gotten into?
Annie: Good Charlotte

....Yeah.

Who says that 'Lady Gaga' or 'Rihanna' is 'awful music'? Usually music critics who are for the most part male. Commercial music is designed to appeal to the broadest number of listeners possible so that it makes the maximum amount of money (that's why it is commercial d'oh!

). It does not claim to be anything other than throw away pop. I personally don't like 'Lady Gaga' or 'Rihanna's Music but then as a forty year old woman I am hardly the target market either! That would be teenage girls Smile

On the subject of gender (and this is a gross generalisation but that seems to be what this thread is about), I think men are a lot more status driven than women. Men will often only admit to liking stuff that it is socially acceptable to like or somehow makes them look 'cool' and 'in the know' (and thus giving them the status that goes with being cool). Women will like something because it sounds good and makes them feel good regardless of who performs it and they are much less likely to be ashamed to admit it (even if it is something cringeworthy). Women are less influenced by critical acclaim and would be less likely to pick up an album 'just because it is xxx'. I also don't think women are as obsessed with guitars in quite the same way as men, which is probably why on the whole they are less into guitar driven music.

But this is all speculation and observation. Personally I think gender has nob all to do with what music you end up liking or your music taste. I think what you like has more to do with what you have been exposed to in your formative years and whether you actually take an interest in music.
