It’s not just music. It doesn’t just stop there. Music and other things we are drawn to are manifestations of what we value. There’s a reason why we like certain things, not just because it sounds cool.
Often times it resonates inside of us, and we are shaped a certain way.
The music, or any type of art, shows our philosophies, our life styles, and our culture. Someone who is drawn to a similar art form usually has some common human understanding-- which makes it easier to relate. Two people can identify on a similar truth which they found bubbling up in some art form.
Also we are not just pulled to a sound or an image, it’s what that music symbolizes or represents. It’s the idea behind it. That’s why you don’t normally see white collar business men at a Rage Against the Machine concert.
Those philosophies can fade from a person over time, but the art we are engaged in shapes and explains the principles we live by.
