psychology help!

[gritch]

I'll bite.

1. Male age:21

2.I mostly listen to Jazz, Blues, and anime sound tracks (so I guess most of those would be J-pop?)

3. Jazz, I suppose but really it depends on my mood that particular day.

4. 3 I listen to it often but I don't really pay attention to it. It's more of a background noise to keep me focused.

5. I don't have a huge preference but I guess solo artist are where most of the songs I listen to are from

6. Currently on a John Coltrane trip. I have a tendency to not really make note of artist names for the most part though.

7. Nope. Music is just something to help me focus mainly.

8. Unfortunately not very much.

9.Bought a few songs but not much. I can listen to the same few songs for quite a while before getting bored.

10. Nope. I haven't really any sense of fashion to speak of.

11. Maybe 1-2 hours? I'll often just have music playing on my laptop as background or put on my headphones between classes (or during class depending on the class...)

 

[GundamSentinel]

1. Male
2. Pretty much anything. Mostly electronic, classical, (classic) rock, pop and soundtracks, but I'll listen to anything.
3. I mostly listen to electronic and soundtracks.
4. 6
5. Really no preference.
6. Difficult to say. I think I've enjoyed Daft Punk the longest.
7. Not really inspired, but it has motivated me often enough.
8. Yes.
9. I still buy CD's now and then.
10. Not really. I have one band shirt as a memory of a particularly good concert, but that's it.
11. 2-3 hours.

[sinshin]

Female

My current loves are swing, jazz and electro-swing. I also listen to a lot of alt-rock, indie, folk, and a bit of pop thrown in for good measure.

Electro-swing.

6/10

I don't think whether someone's in a band or not influences my taste in music at all.

Coheed and Cambria are my favourite band.

Absolutely. Music has been the inspiration behind some of my art, and helped to motivate me in other work when times seemed bleak.

As much as I can.

I'll do my best to see bands if they're playing in my country/area and I try to buy music rather than pirating it as much as I can. Unfortunately, as a very poor student with tiny grants getting me through college, I rarely get to go to any gigs at all, and it frequently falls down to pirating or no new music at all :/

I do have band t-shirts, but my style is not influenced by my taste in music.

2-3 hours.

Market research questions are not psychology questions...

On the contrary, market research is part of psychology. Though doing market research under false pretenses taints the data. I'm sure the OP realizes this, were that the case.

[ViridianV6]

1) Male

2) I like most genres, can't stand country, metal, gangsta rap or dubstep though.

3) Hard to say, at the moment though it'd be instrumental hip-hop.

4) 5.

5) Indifferent to solo artists or bands, both produce good music.

6) Nujabes at the moment, but varies a lot.

7) Not particularly inspiring for me, but I lack any artistic spirit so yeah.

8) Not much, as I'm a student.

9) Occasionally buy albums retail or on bandcamp, rarely though.

10) Doesn't affect my dress sense.

11) 3-6 hours, though most of that time is in transit, while exercising or while studying. Probably listen to music for <1 hour if only listening to music.

Bonus) Age: 21.

 

[Snowbell]

Are you male of female?: Female

Age range: That seems like something a questionairre would need so 20-25

what genres of music do you like? Pop, club, symphonic metal, electro swing, rock, getting into some classical stuff too

what is your favourite genre? Electro swing

how much of a presence does music have in your life? 4

do you prefer solo artists or bands? Bands

who is your favourite music artist? Caravan Palace & Nightwish are tied

would you say music has inspired you? Not in anything productive

do you support your artists/genres? Occasionally. A while back I bought a cd from each of my favourite artists a while back just to support them, I was super disappointed when I found I couldn't rip my Within Temptation cd to my computer

does music influence your dress sense? No, the only t-shirt of a band I like has obnoxious tour dates on the back so I won't be getting it. One of the Nightwish hoodies is rather tempting though

how often do you listen to music per day? 1-2 hours, usually to help me get to sleep

 

[Jarl Gullberg]

Are you male of female? Male, 16

what genres of music do you like? (list any/all)
Electronic
House
Rock
Folk/Pirate Metal
Punk

what is your favourite genre?
It varies with time, but I prefer an electronic twang to it (Miracle of Sound and Lapfox Mayhem being good examples

how much of a presence does music have in your life?
1-10 1 being none, 5 being enough to be opinionated, 10 to be music central.
8

do you prefer solo artists or bands?
I prefer solo artists, as they are often more creative in my ears.

who is your favourite music artist?
Gavin Dunne

would you say music has inspired you?
Yes! I don't think I could get through a day intact without music. It helps me work, write and calm down.

do you support your artists/genres? (e.g buying music)
I try to, as much as I can.

if so how?
I buy music from the artists I think are worth it. It's not common for me to do it, but when I do I've usually made up my mind from the first song onward.

does music influence your dress sense? (band shirts or such clothing).
Not really, but it's mostly because of monetary restraints. If I could be rocking a rock t-shirt, I would be.

how often do you listen to music per day?
>1hour 1-2 hours 2-3 hours 3-6 hours +6 hours?
+6 hours. I sit down with music as soon as I get home, I listen to it during class if I can and when I'm waiting for something.

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

Heya guys, i just came back (for my first post in god knows how long) to see if anyone would be kind enough to answer a little questionnaire on music for me? (college work)

Since I'm curious, what exactly do you seek to show? You should note that the Escapist is a special place in terms demographics which you have to take into account for every analysis. Also the result of this thread is not going to be without bias regardless as the people who will respond here are likely to be those who are already very much interested in music per se which you have to take into account, too.

but a good music thread is always good right?

That it is indeed

...now onto the questions....

Are you male of female?

Male

what genres of music do you like? (list any/all)

Experimental, Avantgarde, Metal, Rock, Jazz, Electronica, Soundtracks and Classical music are the most prevalent but I listen to pretty much anything, so all or most of them is probably a better answer.

how much of a presence does music have in your life?
1-10 1 being none, 5 being enough to be opinionated, 10 to be music central.

about 8 I guess - I listen to music a fucking lot and I love to talk about it or to go to concerts. Doesn't mean I make music myself or that I listen to it 24/7, though.

do you prefer solo artists or bands?

I don't think I really care as long as they are good.

who is your favourite music artist?

Isn't that the million-dollar question these days? Last bands that thoroughly inspired me and I still love to death are probably
Maudlin Of The Well or Estradasphere so I'd say they are the likeliest choices - but I've made the experience that a
far better indicator is album instead of artist since some albums always lack or are beyond awesome no matter the artist.

would you say music has inspired you?

Yep. It has the habit of being extraordinarily calming or forcefully elating to me which I'd count as very much inspiring despite me not being an artist. I do have to admit that for the little writing I do I came up with some concepts based on songs so I'd also say yes from this perspective.

do you support your artists/genres? (e.g buying music) if so how?

Oh yes. I tend to buy merchandise from them and visit their concerts if possible. Recently, I've also helped kickstart an album I hope will prove to be very much awesome. Also since I love spreading good music I also inadvertently make PR for them.

does music influence your dress sense? (band shirts or such clothing).

Except for the occasional band t-shirt? Nope.

how often do you listen to music per day?
>1hour 1-2 hours 2-3 hours 3-6 hours +6 hours?

Depends on the day. Sometimes only a bit, sometimes the whole day. So I go with 3-6 which is probably accurate these days.
