Love the helpful caption that went with the print version:

WHAT STUDIES SAY ABOUT YOUR SOUNDS

POP: Confirmists, overly responsible, role-conscious, struggling with sexuality or peer acceptance

HEAVY METAL: Higher levels of suicidal tendency, depression, drug use, self-harm, shoplifting, vandalism, unprotected sex

DANCE: Higher levels of drug use regardless of socio-economic background

JAZZ/RHYTHM & BLUES: Introverted misfits, loners

RAP: Higher levels of theft, violence, anger, street gang membership, drug use and misogyny

Confirmists?

Sorry, that was my typo - conformists.

I didn't know Goths listen to Medieval music. Or that French rap isn't hip-hop. Thank you scientists for enlightening me!

HEAVY METAL: unprotected sex

This is ridiculous, what about Manowar's 'Warrior's Shield' condoms

Also, surely these results depend on what the significance of a certain musical genre is in different countries? For example, in Finland trance is typically listened by "chavs" and metal is the most popular genre of them all, so I don't think the linkage to suicide and depression would be as pronounced here.

POP: Confirmists

A genius typo.

There warnt no print edition. This is Tim F fuckin around....right?

medieval music as part of the goth subculture

Oh good. My love for filk shall cause me no harm. Whew!

Some genres of rap music, such as French rap, were linked to more deviant behaviours including theft, violence and drug use, while teens listening to hip-hop were usually less troublesome, Dr Baker said.

This is hardcore comedy. I'm DYING to know what counts as hip-hop.

Essay question: Explain how hip-hop is a genre of rap. Be sure to focus on its less troublesome qualities in your answer.

Essay question: Which genres suggest that your teenage patients are NOT at risk of developing a mental illness or committing suicide? Why?

Essay question: What is pop?

Rap is what you do, hip-hop is what you live, maaan!

Where is corny indie fuxs?

"There warnt no print edition. This is Tim F fuckin around....right?"

Ha I wish. This was in my local newspaper today.

Haha, I just saw this posted elsewhere. It's all true.

So can someone confirm for me that girls struggling with their sexuality listen to chart pop?

that song is better than the Jill Sobule one, isn't it

I don't really like any of the genres listed to the point of describing myself as "a X fan"; I guess the closest is jazz. Which suggests I'm a loner. Which is probably right.
