Based on your appearance, what kind of music do people assume you listen to and what do you actually listen to?
 
Honestly people could choose almost any genre of music and they would be right to a certain degree. I'll listen to almost anything, main exception being country.

Glad you asked. People come up to me all the time and try to guess. Most of them have me down for a Mantovani guy.
 
My phone is full of everything from Funk, Punk, Surf, Rockabilly, Classic, Hard/Alt/Metal(70s to present), Prog, 80s NewWave, even Jazz Fusion.
But everyone assumes I know what the latest Ed Sheeran song is.
 
People assume I listen to hip hop based on my style, but really I’m an 80 and 90’s alternative music guy and have a soft spot for 80’s quiet storm slow jamz.
 
im 75 and people would probably assume i like 60,s pop/rock and to a certain extent they would be right........but my 1st love , starting from my teen years to today is Soul & R&B from the 60,s into the early 70,s.....while kids my age were into the British Invasion I was scouring record shops for Otis Redding Wilson Pickett, Sam &Dave and lots of non mainstream obscure Soul &R&B artists
 
No one has ever asked me, I'm a jeans and Tshirt wardrobe.

What I like:

1-80's new wave synth
2- 70's rock and pop

Very good question. People assume classic rock, and I still listen to come old favourites a bit.

However lately I’m into hard house, techno and the English punk scene. I also like to fuck with the Spotify algorithm so I’ll search for some smooth romantic jazz now and then just to screw around. I mean that literally, the only time I listen to it is background music for sex. :)
