What's in your Ipod?

I like to think that you can tell a lot about a person just by examining what kind of music they listen to. Yes, we may not all have an Ipod, but plenty of people invest their money in some sort of a musical device. Just look around you when walking in the halls on your way to class. A good majority of students use an mp3 player.
So have you ever wondered what that person is listening to? What kind of music do they like? What is on their Ipod? It is hard to pinpoint upon looking at someone exactly what they might listen to. Trying to figure out what to write my first blog about, I decided to stereotype people, and guess what they were listening to. A girl I sit next to each class always has her Ipod, it is like it is permanently attached to her ears. She is a seemingly proper and quite girl, who likes to invest her money in expensive clothing. A girl like that, you guess maybe a Carrie Underwood fan, or Britney Spears enthusiast. As I took a peek to her Itouch..... i see MIMS. Not what I was expecting.

I guess the point of my rambling is that, although it may seem like we all fit into a basic classification... black or white, man or woman, blonde or brunette. But you can never really classify someone by just one genre of music. Yes it is true that someone out there only listens to one specific genre, but it seems impossible. Someone could be completely submersed in the rock scene, but they could still enjoy a little country from time to time. In conclusion to my madness, we may be stuck to certain stereotypes and pre-judgements just by our presence, but you cannot classify an individual to one type of music.
Music is boundless and all around us. Our tastes are constantly changing, as is the music we have on our Ipods. Go out and explore.
