do you tend to listen to music made by people of your demographic?

[© tweed]

most of the music I have listened to has been made by white men, usually age 17-(20s) and more likely than not of "middle class" background".  few blacks and fewer women (and vice-versa).

[morgieb]

Yeah most of the music I do listen to is created by white males, although not really of this generation.

[Simfan34]

Made by Africans? Very much so.

[fezzyfestoon]

Not really. Mostly black men around my age, women around my age, and older white men.

[rejectamenta]

Yes. I'd say 95% of what I listen to was made by hairy white twenty-somethings.

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

Yes

[Smash255]

I listen to quite a bit of 90's hip hop, so that generally wouldn't be made by my demographic.

I also listen to a ton of house music the DJ's (though many of whom are European) fit my demographic, the majority (though certainly not all) of the vocalists are women, so not m demographic.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Obviously.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     Probably 90% of the music I listen to is made by young white men, so yes.

[Lief 🗽]

Not really. Looking at my top 10 artists on last.fm for the last twelve months:

1) 39-year-old white man
2) White guys in their twenties
3) White guy + white girl in their twenties
4) 37-year-old white guy
5) White girl in her twenties
6) White Texans and Canadians in their thirties
7) White guy in his twenties
Scottish people in their thirties
9) White guy in his sixties
10) Two black guys

And that's largely not taking into account class, ethnicity or geographical differences.

Yes, but not exclusively.

I listen to Contemporary Christian, which is generally produced by my generation.  I also like the old hymns that were produced generally by men and women in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Of course, the Rat Pack are not exactly in my generation.  Neither is Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Andy Williams, Andy Griffith, Cristy Lane.

[dead0man]

My favorite band only has one White Trash member (2 Heebs and a Bean make up the rest of the band).

[Platypus]

I skew more to my demographic than the average audience would be.

[Хahar 🤔]

Almost everything I listen to is made by white people, so no.

[The Simpsons Cinematic Universe]

Pretty much. Every 'emo' band in existence is like that, though.

[The Mikado]

The vast majority of music I listen to is made by the demographic of "dead people," a category which includes the vast, vast majority of the human race and a group I shall someday join myself.  
In some ways, I prefer the dead to the living.  They'll never complain about your characterization of their work.

[opebo]

No..

[minionofmidas]

Not really.

[justfollowingtheelections]

Interesting question.  I wonder what the answer says about us.

Looking at my top 8 on last.fm it's rather interesting that all the artists/bands are male.  And they are all white.  Only one of the bands however is American.  The other bands artists are from Britain (5), France (1) and Spain (1). 

[Oldiesfreak1854]

First, is this supposed to find out which of us are nativist or bigoted?  I guess that it depends on which demographics you're talking about.  Most of the music I listen to was recorded by whites (male or female), but there were plenty of blacks in it too.  Plenty of the musicians I like are white and Jewish (like Neil Sedaka, Neil Diamond, and Billy Joel), and most of them are either American or British.  But there are a few Canadian artists/band that I like a lot too (like Paul Anka, The Guess Who, and BTO).  But there are plenty of black artists/bands I listen too as well (Michael Jackson, The Supremes, Martha & the Vandellas, etc.).

Yes, but not exclusively.

Of course, the Rat Pack are not exactly in my generation.  Neither is Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Andy Williams, Andy Griffith, Cristy Lane.

I didn't know Andy Griffith was ever a musician.  And much of my immediate family listens to contemporary Christian music; I dont' really care for it.  I don't think it's wrong or immoral, but I personally prefer the older hymns (and even the praise hymns that preceded contemporary Christian in its modern form).  The ironic part is that my generation is supposed to be attracted more to CCM, and as such is popular with youth ministeries.  Many people in my church, however, condemn it as "bringing the world into the church", which I reject.  I don't like it very much, but I don't think it's necessarily bad or wrong for Christian music to be like that.  Although some CCM songs can be very moving ("Thief" by Third Day is the first example that comes to mind for myself), I have rarely, if ever, found it to be anywhere near as spiritual as the traditional hymns of people like Fanny Crosby, Charles Wesley, Isaac Watts, etc.

I definitely prefer the older hymns.  You can almost give an invitation after The Old Rugged Cross or It is Well than you can after a lot of CCM.  That said, the best radio stations, IMO, are K-Love and Air1.  They are both housed in the same building near Sacramento, California.  They are 100% listener supported and both stations have a Spring and Fall Pledge Drive so as such they don't play regular commercials, ever, and are not given a limit on what they can do by the FCC.  They are the most positive radio stations.  In fact, K-Love has a motto of "Positive and Encouraging."  Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people, children and adults, have been brought to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ through the ministry of both radio stations.

My folks listen to K-Love in our area a lot.

Does Michael Jackson count as black or white? Then again, I suppose "it don't matter."
