Do you think there is any correlation between someone's musical taste and their taste in other things?

It's an interesting theory, but one which I rarely see any proof of...

I thought I should include books since I am more of a reader than a t.v. watcher...

I think there is a definite correlation - at least in my taste. Some mainstream - but mostly experimental and kinda out there.

I think it comes down to the media that people like are going to reflect their opinions of them - of what they want to get out of the experience. I look at it as an active experience, where I have to search through it, peel back the layers. I have to analyze and read everything. I like to listen to and watch and read things that make me think, that challenge me and my notions about the world. Those are the main things that attract me in entertainment.
