I am not sure that this survey done by Tastebuds.fm (and whose results had actually been commented on different websites) is truly scientific, but it is amusing enough to have a little fun with it. They asked their users how far they would likely go on a first date, the answers ranging from ‘I’d only meet up for a chat’, to the extreme ‘I’d go all the way if the mood was right’, and, when analyzing the results, they made the connection with their musical taste.
The results were analyzed using 400 responses and they picked the fans of 20 popular artists.
And it turns out that Coldplay fans came as the group the least favorable to jump into bed after a first date, whereas Nirvana fans were the most likely to do it. You can look at the results in the above graph. Lady Gaga’s fans is strangely low in the scale despite the fact she is always half-naked on stage, whereas Metal fans are really restless. Do you want a good balance? Be a fan of Rihanna, The Beatles or The Red Hot Chili Peppers….
But what does it mean after all? Nothing I guess, and what could possibly happen on a first date when you like, let’s say Radiohead and Nirvana at the same time? It’s possible! (more probable than liking Coldplay and Nirvana).
You could do the same survey with anything you want, like the ice cream flavor people prefer and get some kind of results,… there is no causation, but it is just having a little fun…
