Bleh. I know a poser who likes Korean rap and listens to Mozart. He proudly broadcasts his musical preference to the world via MSN Messenger “Show What I’m Listening to” feature.
On the other hand, I have a friend who went to the nationals in Reach for the Top (Jeopardy-like game)…he only listens to classical music and opera.
