Could a person's character be gained through drawing connotations from one's choice in music genre? This is true to some extent. For example, if you pick up an ipod on the ground an it is playing a song of 1990's, you may have an impression of a nostalgic fan in your mind. However, this kind of impression stays in a superficial level because nobody can tell if the owner liston to this song very often or on a rare occasion. Even the owner listen to this song frequently, no one knows if the owner likes the melody, or the rhythm, or the lyric or this song has some special meaning for him/her.
On my personal experience, many songs in my iPod have never been played. Some of them are in the year Pop list, some of them are recommended by my friends and some of them I even do not know why they are in my iPod. Thus it seems to be arbitrary to judge a person by one's playlist. An extreme example is how can we gain the character of a person who is tone deaf or real deaf?
