I think that music can be an ice breaker between people, as it can be a great conversation starter. It can also be used as a gauge to determine if a person may have similar ideals or values. Typically from my experiences if someone has a drastically different music taste than me, it can cause me to paint a picture of the person that may not necessarily be true about them. As people we stereotype a lot of things and if someone listen to a certain genre of music we may stereotype them, and try to relate them to someone or put them in a box to what we think that person may act like or believe. A soundtrack that captures my outlook on life is Who dat by J.Cole. I chose that song because I feel like I have been overlooked by people in my life, when I should not have been.
