Chuck Klosterman meditates on the real meaning behind the question: what kind of music do you like?
“When someone asks me what kind of music I like, he is (usually) attempting to use this information to deduce things about my personality; this is (usually) the same reason we casually ask people about what TV shows they watch or which NBA franchises they support or what political movements they align with.”
