I am under the impression that most people tend to enjoy music. So, my question is this: does the core function affect the type of music which we enjoy?
As NTs, I would think that classical music is attractive to us due to its somewhat abstract nature (no direct messages, etc) . It allows us to interpret things such as instrument interatction (Not to say you can't do this in most genres, but you get the point). Moreover, it allows you to attach your own emotions to it if you like, as opposed to being told how the song should make you feel according to the lyrics. Thoughts?
Expanding to the more controversial aspect of my post: NTs and Electronica. Electronica is fast paced (great for when we need to focus). I would think NTs prefer electronica to do work to, while your archetypal SP thinks of dancing and the like. I understand that this is a gross generalization here, but I am working along the most simple framework of MBTI theory here.
I also notice an NT love of rock, be it alernative or progressive. I believe that this is due to its lack of whining, which can be found in a lot of pop and emo rock. Personally I am a fan of Muse, due to its tendency to make broad statements about human relationships and political issues.
Again, what are your thoughts when it comes to pieces versus songs? Do you find yourself attracted more to one genre? If so, do you know why?
