Do you agree men tend to have better taste in music than girls?

Most girls I've known have had a ranging and diverse musical taste. All anecdotal I guess. The attractiveness thing could be a factor for very young teenage girls but not really older ones

Average girl will listen to generic pop

Average guy will listen to trashy hip hop

Another thing I noticed was that the female friends of mine who do have "better" tastes in music were heavily influenced by males in their lives. One of my female friends' dad's worked for a alternative rock record label and so she grew up listening to great music. Another female friend was heavily influenced by her older brother who has a very cool taste in music. I know she idolises him and her taste in music when she was a teenager was identical to her brother's. Interestingly, she now mostly listens to sh*t pop and trap music. I also know of females being influenced by the boyfriend's taste in music but I don't see it as much the other way around.

Incredibly large sample there, bud. You should contact the University of Oxford's musicology faculty to see if they'll fund your research.

I think both men and woman can have equally good taste in music.
Some men and women can also have equally bad taste in music.

thank you for your insight, Dali Lama.

I know we're all individuals and music taste is subjective. But do you think guys are more likely to explore genres more deeply than girls? And earlier in their teens than girls. When I say better taste in music, I don't really mean specific genres, I mean going back to the roots and listening to the old school hip hop, the classic rock, experimental rock, art rock. Or exploring less mainstream areas like minimal techno. I find most girls seem to just scratch the surface and mostly just listen to the more well known examples.
Don't get me wrong, I know some guys with really dull taste in music, really simple chart stuff. I also know some girls who really know their stuff about music and love the more unusual classics, not just the immediately catchy stuff.
What do you think? I find there are way more male music pundits and djs.
Probably gonna get some hate from the ladies on this one but I've studied a lot of my male and female friends' music preferences and the results are pretty clear.

Not sure why that is though, perhaps males feel more connected to the harder rock and perhaps always dreamt of being in a rock band or being a famous dj because they have more male artists to look up to. Or because males feel more of a pressure to be cool and impress, and are unwilling to admit they love the more lame stuff. Less likely to admit they love one direction. Perhaps because a lot of yong female love for music is slightly based on the attractiveness of "the band members?

I think both men and woman can have equally good taste in music.

Honestly probably the most pointless reply.

In real life, 99% of people I know have basically no taste, and aren't really music guys. They like whatever is easily accessed, and don't really put time into seeking anything out. That applies to men and women.

Most people are not into music as a hobby.
