I think the better question is does the music being played affect one, or a groups personality, and behavior? For the most part yes.
Isn't that what music sets out to do? Isn't that why a dj plays a set in a certain way?
When I listen to reggae its because I want to be calm and mellow, when I listen to trance/house its because I want to be happy and in a good mood.
I never listen to negative, yelling or angry music, because i don't want to be in a bad mood, and I don't want to be angry or agressive.
But the people who listen to agressive angry music, must be happy that they are listening to music they like, but usually I think they will also be more agressive and angry by nature. But I had a friend who liked hardcore bands, but he was also extremely calm and friendly...so maybe i don't quite know what I'm talking about.

I don't think the music people listen to resemble their personality. I came to this conclusion through obvious general observation. |
I was thinking more along the lines that perhaps one or two traits could be shared between fans of a certain genre, rather than their personalities being copies of one another.

Re: Music tastes and personality

The taste itself says very little, I believe. There are loads of factors that shape one's taste, such as exposition (the more you listen to something, the better you tend to like it), that have little or no connection to one's actual personality. But, once you learn more about a person, their musical taste surely becomes a more meaningful element, even when it doesn't seem to make much sense (I don't know why the hell heavy metal fans here are obsessed with the Middle Ages).
In my case, for example, I love trancecore, drum'n'bass and acid techno. If you meet me, though, you'll see I'm just a bookish guy, who seldom goes to parties and festivals... a bit hyperactive, I admit, specially when I'm around megaphones, but that's all 
"Not gentle"?
