Musical Stereotypes

The other day while listening to music with my friend in her car, we discussed how certain bands or genres of music that people listen to can give off connotations about who they are or can lead people to make assumptions about them and put them in a certain category. An example that we came up with was a girl that listens to Pop, like Ke$ha or The Black Eyed Peas, is typically a bubbly and loud teenage girl. Or maybe, if you listen to Pink Floyd you are a stoner, or listening to techno means you go clubbing a lot. It's interesting to think about your music taste and what stereotype you fit under, and whether it's true or not. Why do you think these stereotypes exist, and do you think they are necessarily true?
