Hello people, I have talked to people about the music they like, and I have noticed a few things.
Examples of people:
For me, ISTp, the lyrics arent very important, its the overall sound of the song, I like 'atmospheric' sounding music
An INTj I know also dosent concentrate on the lyrics but the sound
An ENFp I have known for a while concentrates a lot on the lyrics, considers it what music is really about, likes rap music.
An ESTp I have known since I was a ickle, likes rock and heavy music, also like 'strong' dance music
Ok, thinking about other people and their types I think it goes something like this:
Si - lyrics not important, likes music which has a calm atmospheric effect on the inner state.
Se - lyrics and sound both important, likes strong music thats gets you pumped up.
Ti - lyrics not important, likes mainstream music and old classic songs
Te - lyrics and sound both important, likes mainstream music and old classic songs
Ni - dont know any
Ne - lyrics important sound not so much, likes music that has impactful lyrics that make sense and are about something recognisable
Fi - dont know
Fe - lyrics and sound both important, like mainstream stuff and popular music
These are guesses, I dont know if music style and type are very well correlated, and people usually have a strong like for music that was in their era, when they were teenagers or early twenties, but maybe there is a bit of a link to type. I find it interesting though that some people really listen to the words and judge a song quite heavily on the quality of the words, as its something I dont really consider.
Any thoughts??

got to do with how my personal experiences relate to the lyrics and melody of the song.

and
in combination. The emotionally passionate, drenched lyrics/mood, making sure it is "real" and it makes you feeeeel, lol. I have heard Ni and Fe being linked to romanticism too, but I don't know the explanation for it, although it's truth.
) - it must use the most appropriate words, often rarely used or eclectic words (or an eclectic concept, rarely covered) - so it shouldn't use the word 'love', unless it's in an ironic or unusual way. If the words or well-chosen + efficient in meaning, the lyrics provided fuel, and also allow me room to explore the concept\meaning of the song (there is beauty in its simplicity). I tend to prefer songs that are indirect or abstract - I prefer them to be generalised, rather than personalised - though they can be about historical people or events (e.g. about an unnamed solider at the battle of the Somme - he can have a name, too, if its not really important to the plot of the song
