Music Predicts Sexual Attraction
Have you ever wondered why your relationship ended in a wrong note? Well, the reason would be your taste in music. In a recent study it has been highlighted that music actually predicts sexual attraction.
The most recent issue of Psychology of Music exmaines the link between identity, music and what makes people 'click'.
This had led the LA Weekly blog to explore what it is about why we like, what we like, and perhaps more importantly, how this can make or break a relationship.
During adolescence, music becomes a symbol of your identity to help you belong.
Research duo North and Hargraves say that music functions as a 'badge' which people use to not only judge others but at the same time, to express their own ideas.
For instance, the child who wants to appear rebellious picks music that seems like it's made by people who rebel.
This symbol of identity also helps you strike a balance between belonging but also being original.
You do this by liking a genre that your friends like, but to try and stand out while not becoming a total outcast, you find a performer within that genre which no-one else knows about.
Eventually however, you get into music that reflects your values.
According to researchers, rock is associated with social awareness and rebelliousness while pop is linked to values about gender roles and conformity.
