>honestly believing the music you listen to has anything to

moreso true for the digital or modern era
but still true

I felt this way age 15-20.
Feels so cringe looking back.

I think the kind of music you listen to does represent something about your personality, like if you're a charismatic person who likes partying you might listen to a lot of hip hop (as is the case with some people I know). There's also the case of people who "enjoy" certain artists because they aspire to be like that person, but that's very superficial and not a genuine representation of what you're really like. In my case I listen to a lot of folk and prog, which sort of mirrors my other interests (hiking, science fiction) that I developed as a result of my personality.

I know too many skinny, pansy-ass, "allies" who are metalheads to think anything about music represents lifestyle.

Being into music is a lot more than just listening to music. If you don't go to a lot of concerts and involve yourself with the community, and style your fashion after your favorite genres, you don't genuinely love music.

It's not about the music you listen to, it's about WHY you listen to who you listen to.

Your philosophies, beliefs can be interpreted very easily from your listening habits.

This, going to concerts is a minimum

while there is no lie here, the same can be said about your choice of car, or the food you eat, or pretty much every choice you make. attaching so much weight to once facet of your life is amusing however, i guess it's some people's dream to fit nicely on the store shelf

This is seriously what the vast majority of /mu/ believes and thinks. Really sad to be perfectly honest. If it actually were true (hypothetically speaking) I would be a fucking schizo.

This maybe not be the dumbest thing I've read on /mu/, but it's definitely up there.

Crass declared punk dead because of shit like that.
