So, yesterday, me and my girlfriend spent the day with each other playing video games, watching TV and doing fun, wholesome little activities at home. When we got to the computer we decided we'd browse people's Spotify profiles for fun.

I've noticed a correlation between female facial attractiveness and music taste based on playlists linked to the account. For this observation, I'm assuming the account and thus the playlist holder belongs to the woman depicted in the profile picture.

Generally, the lower the PSL of the woman, the more she tends to stray away from "mainstream" or "chart" music. Women with lower PSL ratings also are more likely to include songs from genres deemed "fringe" and include more songs by "obscure" artists on their playlists. Thus, women with "alternative" music tastes are often HTBs or below, with Beckies (all tiers) preferring to listen to mostly more-well known alt musicians and femcels listening to the most obscure of musicians. Meanwhile, Stacies and Stacylites almost exclusively listen to mainstream chart pop, or music that has charted in the past.

However, it is generally noted that women, irrespective of attractiveness level, tend to stick towards more "well-known" artists within similar genres than their male counterparts who share the same music taste. For example, a non-goth Becky and a Normie, both in their early 20s with a slight "indie kid" appearance, both like post punk. The Normie might listen to Sleeping Dogs Wake, but the Becky's most obscure post-punk artist is Bauhaus.

Here are genres that you'd likely find in a woman's playlist, along with the level of "obscurity" for each attractiveness tier:

Stacies: Pop, R&B, mainstream EDM
Stacylites: Pop, R&B, pop punk, entry-level hip hop, mainstream EDM
Beckies (including LTB, MTB and HTB): Same as above plus indie rock, less obscure metal bands, less obscure shoegaze/post-punk/gothic rock bands, jazz, grunge, some electronic music other than mainstream EDM (e.g. techno, trance, trip hop)
Femcels: Same as above but more obscure bands, drone, math rock, anime OSTs, classical, and whatever extremely obscure genre is out there

Examples of profiles I've seen on Spotify along with their preferred genres:

Stacy:

1634770608900

Exclusively chart pop.

Stacylite:
1634768753339

Contrary to her appearance, she predominantly has pop, R&B and entry-level reggae on her playlists. I did however, spot ONE Rob Zombie song on her workout playlist.

HTB:
1634766606779

Shoegaze, post-punk, dream pop, gothic rock. Entry-level/more well-known artists for such genres.

MTB:
1634766493287

Primarily gothic rock, darkwave and various flavours of metal. Mix of "entry-level" and "obscure" artists within these genres.

LTB:
1634770737585

Mostly nu-metal and emo. Lots of Korn, Masked Wolf, Bad Wolves, ICP, Three Days Grace and the like.

Femcel-tier women usually use anime or video game characters for their profile pictures. However, I wouldn't assume that a profile with an anime girl is a femcel, because the owner could very well be a male, or a Stacy.



My girlfriend would most likely be rated a 4.5 PSL HTB, and her favourite Spotify artists would generally be considered "alt", but not "obscure" in any way whatsoever. In fact, I'd say her taste is right in line with woman in her early 20s who spends a lot of time online and her tastes are influenced by Fantano/Reddit/mu. Most often, women with a similar taste to her tend to be Beckies. She plugged in her account on a Spotify taste analyzer and her favourite artists are the following:
  1. Cranes
  2. Diamanda Galás
  3. Strawberry Switchblade
  4. Westside Gunn
  5. Lovesliescrushing
  6. Siouxsie and the Banshees
  7. Have A Nice Life
  8. The Cure
  9. New Order
  10. Modest Mouse
  11. Sematary
  12. Slowdive
  13. Type O Negative
  14. Kate Bush
  15. Anri

The vast majority of these artists were also found in the blonde HTB's profile. A good number of them were also found in the goth MTB's profile.


I would also say the same thing for males too, but we didn't look at male profiles. But generally, Chads tend to stick to mainstream hip hop and EDM, normies like rock and some EDM and incels tend to like metal and anime OSTs. However, exceptions can always be made.

I love type O negative. And yeah, NTness too, but more often than not, NT kinda correlates with attractiveness.

Believe it or not, Type O Negative was found in the blonde HTB's profile. She kinda looks the type that might listen to stuff like Clairo, but nope. It's mostly shoegaze, gothic rock and dream pop.

Nah. Incels are more likely to listen to songs about war revenge murder anything like that. If he's low inhib and the thug type he'll likely listen to rap songs.

True. I rarely see a Stacy that's into Merzbow or black metal.

Why do you think most girls who like alt rock or metal tend to be Beckies?

i think beckies are the only ones who can relate to depressing stuff since their lives arent all that great. stacies cant relate because they have better lives. but since women have a herd mentality they will listen to whats considered popular. but like i said here in the netherlands every female basically listens to top 40 music and those who dont are usually damaged to some degree which is why they can relate only to depressing rock/metal music.

I see.
To be honest, I don't think I would be happy to be with a Stacy. I know they'd ridicule my music taste and as a result won't want to be seen with me. Music is so important to me; I even play the bass and guitar.

yeah women dont wanna be with a guy who will lower their social reputation. thats why male celebs who arent attractive and are short can get good looking women anyway because these men wont damage the womens social reputation.

i think chad in the netherlands only listens to top 40 hiphop, not per se top 40 stuff because top 40 also has a lot of pop which is not what a chad would listen to.
yes its a south korean horror movie. well its a crime thriller but its so dark its considered horror.

Agreed with this. But what if you met a Chad who likes obscure doom metal bands?
If you had to estimate our PSLs just based on music taste, what would you think we both are?

no bro if the good looking guy lacks basic hygiene then he will also repel women. what makes your tastes non-nt is that its fairly unpopular music. its either obscure or old. and yeah i love shoegaze! haha.

I see, I see. A friend introduced me to shoegaze and I'm hooked.
I mean, most of my tastes revolve around metal and gothic rock. I do also listen to dark techno/trance, but they weren't in my top 15.

Thank you so much for the link :owo: I'll check it out and I'll probably invite my gf over to have a look at it together!
Neither would I tbh. I mean I do think my gf is beautiful but if she were to be rated by lookists she'd be rated a high-tier becky.
I've been rated most often a PSL 6 chadlite, but I think that's a bit of a stretch. I don't look very NT though.
