More results on our class's musical dislikes

GENDER:

Genres disliked more by women:
ethnic, classical, heavy metal (by alot), garage

Genres disliked more by men:
rap, jazz, rock, oldies, pop, religious, easy, country (by alot)

AGE:

There were no big differences across age groups in terms of disliking specific genres.

WEALTH:

Students with wealthier parents disliked almost every genre more than did students with less wealthy parents. The only exceptions: religious and pop music, which were more disliked by less wealthy students. Any explanations?
