FANS of hip hop music are likely to have had more sexual partners in the last five years while many of those who prefer classical strains will have tried cannabis, according to a study released today.
Psychologist Adrian North from the University of Leicester surveyed 2500 Britons to find out how their musical tastes related to their lifestyles and interests.
He said the results showed said it was possible to discover clues about what people were like simply from the music they liked.
Almost 38 per cent of hip hop devotees and 29 per cent of dance music fans were more likely to have had more than one sexual partner in the last five years compared to just 1.5 per cent of country music fans.
However they were also more likely to have broken the law, with more than 50 per cent of both hip hop and dance music lovers admitting committing a criminal act.
