Scientists: Heavy metal fans are gentle pussies.

Not only have scientists linked musical tastes with personality types, but they've discovered that fans of heavy metal are gentle, delicate creatures who just want to be loved. Article here.

But on second thought, anyone into music is essentially the same. Be sure to check out the table after the article. I find it interesting that every genre's listeners are outgoing, creative, hardworking, and "at ease." The only asshole of the bunch is the indie fan, no surprise there:

Indie: Low self-esteem, creative, not hard working, not gentle

Some genres weren't mentioned, so I'll take a stab at them:

Punk: Angsty, self-consciously suburban.

Ska: Dorky, consciously suburban.

Hardcore: Suppressing homoerotic thoughts, suburban.

Emo: Suburban and into really, really shitty music. Likely 12 years old and/or mentally handicapped.

Irish Punk: Suburban, 4th generation American-Bostonian who suddenly knows what it's like to drink a bottle of whiskey after a 20-hour day in the coal mines.

Skiffle/Jug Band: Likely an otter named Emmett. Kicks all ass.
