Researchers have discovered our position on the social pecking order can be betrayed by the music we listen to, as well as the music we hate.
While they found some genres like opera and classical music - which have long been the preserve of the elite - were most enjoyed by the upper classes, they also found rock, reggae and pop were also more their taste.
By comparison, those in the lower classes seem to actively dislike most of these 'highbrow' forms of entertainment, preferring country, disco, rap, heavy metal, easy listening and golden oldies.
Perhaps the only musical genre to cross the social divide was jazz, which was enjoyed by those in all social classes.
Interesting.
