Do You Define Yourself By What Music You Listen Too ?

I would say so. I'm goth so I guess that pretty much tells you what kind of music I'm in.

I don't think I could. I like so much music...it's not even funny. Cause one minute I'll be so into R&B and soul music (which is what I grew up on) the next I'll be rocking my head to someone like Kutless or Switchfoot. I think I'm one confused little puppy.

I think people tend to latch on to things that they admire greatly and by associating themselves with the object of their admiration (such as saying you are a fan) we somehow feel a part of the success.

Hi,

Well, this is a very interesting question. I grew up listening to bands that none of my peers at school were into, and as a result I defined myself as a loner. Nobody else liked the music that I liked, and as a result I tended to listen to the music alone. I didn't really get into any bands until I was 17 when I started listening fanatically to the top 40 music and desparately tried to get bands together or join them in the 90's, with very little results.

I feel somehow that my star has faded and I hardly listen to any music now or anything that really excites me.

As I am into a lifestyle and activity that many Christians tend to find conflict with, I have tended to find that the people who do seem to be into it tend to be country and blues-rock fans which says nothing to me about my background.

Unlike most rock musicians, I've never been attracted to substance abuse or indiscriminate sexual relationships. I have done a few rock'n'roll things myself such as having smoked cannabis, posed nude with a dolly-bird for a magazine accompanying a self-penned article on rock music, listened to records backwards and made outrageous comments. None of them have done anything to raise my profile as a musician however. :-(
