If you're Bob Crawford, you're awesome. All other music fans, we got your number.

By H. Drew Blackburn, Jaime-Paul Falcon, and Matt Wood

No matter what someone tells you, they generally tend to judge a book by its cover. This isn't a good human trait, but we do it. Often we're wrong about our first perceptions of people based on an extremely vainglorious surface level assumption. We also judge people by their taste: in food, in movies, in romantic partners, etc, etc, ad infinitum. What we're most likely to judge someone off of is their taste in music. Relationships go to the grave over the fact that someone is really into dubstep.

We're also very keen on assuming things about people because of what they have on their iPod. With that, we bring you a few stereotypes based on your favorite North Texas musical acts. Have fun being judged.

No...I don't have a tribal tattoo. I do, however, have a 666 on my skull (although I'm not sure how it got there.)

BTW...did I overlook the Reverend?

Blasphemy.
