Do the people around you influence the type of music you listen to?

When I was a teenager I would listen to the stuff that was popular at the moment. Now I do my own thing.

No. My musical likes and dislikes don't change for anyone.

I’ve discovered lots of new things including music from people around me. I do remember one gf who only listened to indie music. She would listen to it because it was indie. I like more mainstream top 40s and R&B music and stuff to dance too. I can’t stand it when a person makes being different from what is popular their goal in life.

Sure, some .. during long drives etc .. occasionally hear new stuff I might not otherwise and add it to my playlists

No. But the people who post stuff on YouTube do. I would never elsewise have discovered a genre such as dungeon synth

No.

They probably did in my teens of course, but Ii have broadened and developed my own tastes for myself since then.

Yes, I try not to play any 20-minute rock songs or classical music, as very few appreciate either of them.

Yes, they piss me off when they demand I stop listening to Dire Straits and put Britney Spears on

If they listen to good music, I might "steal" it from them. I have a few songs from here too.

Absolutely not !

You listen to songs which appeal to you based on your life.

Only my curiosity influences what I listen to, watch or read

No. My wife and friends listen to current country music, and I don't.

Most of my friends have similar taste to me.

No I listen to whatever I'm in the mood to listen to.

Not a huge amount, no.

nope..

No.
