Read the following text.
Why are we more likely to have a similar musical taste to our friends?
Have you ever noticed that you and your group of friends all listen to similar music? Maybe you don’t
listen to the same music as all your friends but just as your closest friends. There’s even the possibility
you and your friends like the music you do because you share the same values. Or are you the one person
who listens to a style of music that everyone makes fun of? Whether you like the same music as someone
else,
5 it remains an important aspect of our social lives.
During a recent study, researchers conducted an experiment where people had to meet strangers in a chat
room with the objective of getting to know the other person. After all the transcripts were collected, it
soon became clear that music was by far the most common topic of conversation. This is because we feel
that the music a person listens to is a good measure of their personality. While it may not always be
the case, it
10 is possible to deduce a few things about the person.
This study explains that people who listen to the same music could have similar attributes. It also
suggests that we like to see our own personality traits reflected back at us in our friends. We know this
isn’t always true as we all have those friends who are completely alike but cannot stand each other.
You can find qualities that you enjoy in other people through their music taste but it doesn’t need to
be the same as
15 what you listen to.
Wouldn’t you have more fun on a long car journey if you had the same musical taste as your best friend?
Thinking like this is why a new craze of dating apps that find matches based on musical taste have
appeared. These applications replicate the feeling of meeting people at a niche music festival, where
everyone is into the same stuff. With a relatively high success rate, these apps are proving music’s worth
as
20 a social tool.
More than merely showing that people with the same musical taste are compatible, this proves that just
knowing what the other person’s musical taste is can have a positive impact on the relationship.
