Saw this on another website and thought it'd be cool to post here since I'm sure musical tastes here will differ quite a bit.

0. What is/are your favorite genre(s)?

1a. What do you consider good music, either in general or in concrete examples?
1b. How about bad music?

2. Are you biased against some genres because of the fans they tend to attract?

3a. Do you make assumptions about fans of particular genres?
3b. What are some of the stereotypes you are familiar with?
3c. What stereotypes exist about fans of your preferred genre?

4. What role does a band/artist/genre's popularity play in your like or dislike for them/hir/it?

5. Do you think you have good taste in music?

6. How objective do you think you are when you judge music?

7. Do you judge artists/bands on their entire body of work, or on a song-by-song basis?

8. Do you consider your choice of music part of your identity, image or public persona?

9. Have you ever made choices in music based on what your peers might think of you? (For example, do you avoid a certain genre because your friends think it is without merit? Do you listen to genres you don't particularly like because your friends like them?, etc.)

10a. How do you feel/react when someone states an opinion contrary to yours regarding music in general?
10b. What about particular songs/artists/genres?

11. Do you have formal musical training? (Such as receiving singing lessons, playing an instrument, etc.)

12. Who influences your choice of music most? How do you find new music? Through which channels? Through advertising/word of mouth/YouTube/reviews/other?

13a. Have your tastes or preferences changed over time?
13b. If not, why not?
13c. If yes, in what way?

14. Anything you'd like to add on this subject? Any other questions you wish I'd posed?

If this belongs in Media then feel free to move it, wasn't too sure where to put it.
