I love individual music pieces, not particular genres, bands or singers. It's what moves me. From opera to hip-hop, every music type has something I enjoy.
Feel free to share any :)
@@RensRoom LOL. Where do I begin?
Same. I used to have genres/bands I would/wouldn't listen but as I grew up I began to appreciate all styles and I go with how it makes me feel.
"...interconnectedness that applies to the entire field of aesthetics."
Indeed.
Yess
I absolutely love all different kinds of music, have a BIG variety and to be honest it's been inspirational and it's like my meditation, music has always been there for me, I can't imagine life without it!!!
Thanks for sharing, Shirley :)
Agree, there are music genre's I use to clean house, start my day, relax, when I am driving.
Unfortunately I can't get into rap, heavy metal, generation x, y, or z.
Yesterday I stumbled upon a Spanish speaking radio station and proceeded to listen to Mexican music all the way home. 🤷🏾♂️ I’ll listen to whatever moves me.
Being the youngest in my family I was exposed to pop music in the early 70s because of my siblings. Pop music at the time was rock music with some country crossovers. I identify with the hippies in that I went country because disco left me cold. I originally didn't like heavy metal but it grew on me because of my age and my friends. I have never really liked disco, new country, or bro-country, that change in country music was worse than when pope music became disco music. The soul of the outlaw country singers was outlawed for the soulless music of bro-country. I never got into rap or jazz. If I had to live my life over I would want to discover classical music much earlier. During a more depressed point in my life, I discovered the happy-go-lucky upbeat tempo of polka music. Gregorian Chant is so very calming. Bluegrass, Folk, and Blues are great.
What INFJs have in common is that we lean on music as a mood-altering crutch. We have most likely discovered many genres of music even if we don't like them all.
Yes! Also applies to literature, I think. Is it also part of our INFJ resistance to being told what to do, what to like? "You must read this book, listen to this music, it's culture, it's high art!" Obviously this reluctance is not solely the provenance of INFJs, but think we chafe at it more. I discovered Power Metal at 60 and I love it! I think it's almost perfect for an INFJ - so many sub genres within sub genres! 😂 I could bore for Scotland about it....
Power Metal! I have to check this out, lol. Is it similar to heavy metal?
More tuneful, usually great singing. Some of it is deliciously cheesy, lots of fantasy. Most of the band's don't take themselves too seriously, but they take the music itself very seriously. Beast in Black, Powerwolf, Gloryhammer, Alestorm are my favourites. Also The Hu - Mongolian power metal!
The apostrophe abuse was autotext's fault! 😂 Bands, not band's!
@@RensRoom Power metal is amazing dude you HAVE to check it out Ren
@@DK-5 hehe, will do! Any bands you’d recommend?
I am so impressed, you described perfectly how I experience music, something I've never been able to articulate. My playlists are all by mood or theme, with blatant genre/language/decade mixing. I've never met someone who understood and enjoyed one of my playlists, they just confuse everyone 😅
I enjoy everything from forties big band/ swing , to country, jazz, classical, soft rock, alternative/ underground, and r& b. Music could possibly solve most human travails in my mind. lol
That's a nice palette of tastes right there :)
@@RensRoom it's an eclectic mix.😉🙏
I can get obsessed with a grindcore or pop, djent or rap song, but it's always something very specific. I enjoy it a lot and I like to dance contorting myself. Unfortunately very few times in my life I have been able to share those tastes, I would like to enjoy them with someone else.
I have time for some grindcore :D napalm death?
I’m a bit odd with music, I don’t really have a broad taste in music. I’m not a fan of mainstream music. I love music that, to myself is emotional, and makes me feel something. I love punk, post hardcore, emo, scremo, and metalcore, metalcore mix with rap and some hip hop, 80’s and 60’s. Those are my favorite types of music. I do like some songs in other genres. But, not much.
The music I most love makes me want to crawl inside the song. Spotify classifies me as deep and haunting. I'm grieving the loss of my brother, so I created a music list that helps me through the most painful times. Songs of loss helps me to deflect my pain by absorbing the song's feelings, the passions in the lyrics or music. The more complex a song is, with instruments and words, the more I love it. I love when musicians make their instruments or voice "whine" like a saxophone or blues. I have a masters degree in English with a minor in Philosophy, and I always thought my unusual appreciation of music came from my educational background in analysis
I've said for a while now that my tastes vary "from metal and rock to Scottish hip-hop."
Definitely interested in a vast variety of styles and genres. 👍
Such as? :D
I love uptempo pop music in all languages.
Haha your friends weren't lying about you theorizing everything. But that's what makes you so refreshing to listen to! The Ni Se seems very true and Beethoven rocks! Btw, Fe is inner subjective but what about Ti?
I enjoyed the "Beethoven rocks" pun ;P Here Ti would primarily serve to rationalise Fe's orientations I think.
I used to play Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata
From another infj...very well said!!! I listen to whatever moves my soul....it also sometimes depends on my mood n like if I need to cry cause I'm sad or exhausted...or if I need to headbang 0r scream cause mad, hurt or frustrated...or dance cause I'm happy or feeling well(it doesn't always get decided that way...I have my Playlist just like the rest, but sometimes it helps to push those emotions out). I love things that opens my soul, let's me see things even I sometimes overlook...those are the great moments when u learn something new. I can go from classical, opera, n Dramatic, to metal to fast a$$ clever raps, to soft rock n oldies I grew up on mostly. I play the viola n have for ...omg... 31 going on 32 years. Yes I still play, actually just got an electric one n am so stoked( I can play n read all basic 4 orchestral stringed insturment( violin, viola, cello, n bass)...n the drums(well just say percussion line..as to switching around so much for marching band pretty much). I just luv music . It helps quit or calm our mind from our endless chatters...well we can focus on just that....music is freeing...it's freedom to infj IMO. Why I enjoy dancing so much as well. Really good job on this one.
Moods, another thing that INFJ's seem to feed...
Guilty.
I love music, and while my tastes are both common and esoteric, my life is one with a soundtrack. As a teen, I'd sit for hours in a straight-backed chair following Tales From Topographic Oceans by Yes from the lyrics provided in the liner notes or inner sleeve as I listened. I get serious endorphins from my music!
This INFJ loves music, but like all art forms, I am highly selective. I like a broad variety of styles. My first favourite major artist was Mike Oldfield and still find much of his music very special. Too many others to mention, but I often like only some or one song by an artist/group. Love a lot of classical, especially Rachmaninov, Mahler and Malcom Arnold. When younger, I was very narrow, but I learnt to be more open to other music as I got older.
I adore Rachmaninov and Mahler. Thanks for sharing!
You should check out Malcolm Arnold’s symphonies. Someone likened his music to a reflection on humanity similar to that of Charles Dickens. It’s full of the awareness of the sadness and struggles inherent in life. I love it because it’s full of doubt and uncertainty which not only is a reflection of reality but especially so for INFJs. It feels like a warm, comforting place his music. Like things kind of make sense. I feel it very deeply.
Mahler of course aimed at encompassing the whole world in his symphonies which ties in with him being an INFJ.

@@Coneman3 Thanks a lot for sharing!
Doesn’t get much better than this… great film imo.

Infj is your primary musician in all music
Infj comes in a wide range as they are in the middle of the temperament spectrum
The most extroverted introvert.
I guess that makes the Estp the most introverted extrovert also at mid range
I agree that I am very open to listening to different kinds of music. I don’t like country, but I like almost everything else. I like a lot of songs because the are catchy, but I also really like meaningful music. People say that rap isn’t meaningful, but when you listen to rappers like NF and lil darky, then you realize that rap can be meaningful. You just have to find the right songs. People say pop music isn’t meaningful, but there are a handful of emotional pop songs that I feel are. I know an INTP that likes classical and jazz music, an INTP that likes alternative music, an INFP that likes show tunes, and an ENFJ that likes many pop music (and usually clean versions), and sometimes alternative songs.
"They don't relate to music just as music. It's a medium to connect with the entire world of humanity and human ideas ... that applies to the entire field of aesthetics" Bang on
My tastes in music runs the gamut but in general, if the sound, composition, or subject matter is weak or shallow then I don't care for it. Most mainstream music is just simply not interesting, although there are a few exceptions. But, my favorite genre is European and Slavic metal, nearly all sub-genres, but operatic, symphonic and folk metal is definitely what I listen to most. Metalcore or grindcore is also on the list. I like metal's power, depth, complexity, and the vocals. The subject matter is non-mainstream and often very deep. I get lost in it, and the heavy guitar riffs and growling give me goosebumps and chills.
A big problem that I have is that I can't share the music that I am excited about. No one gets it. So, I always end up enjoying it alone.
I have a little bit of everything. I can't really explain what's in common with my music lol. It's all over the place. I do relate to the point you bring up with finding what people regard as good music in a genre. I like to turn to recommendations and see from there if I like a certain music or not. It's kinda like a constant refining of taste. I definitely don't feel like a purist, to me purists rub me the wrong way a lot of the time. I just want to find stuff I enjoy. Which a lot of the time I can't articulate why I enjoy something when people ask me, lol.
Thanks for sharing :) I relate to a lot of what you’re saying.
9:25 Yes, man. U2.
I do not know about any other INFJs here, but my taste of music be looking like the final battle of Avengers Endgame. Literally almost everyone (every genre) is there. I am the type of guy who defines his musical taste more so by artists than genres.
And yes, there are country artists that I like.
I find my tastes rather niche, I am a younger INFJ, so of course I have different tastes than older ones, but I find intense music kind of counterintuitively soothing. I like hip-hop, alt rock, electronic, vaporwave (also all of the sub genres of that genre), classical, and folk. I don’t think music preferences are really bound to personality types though, although I think that the music world intrigues me in a way.
Did you ever listen to "future funk" ?
@@ONRAXIV don’t know honestly
FWIW music that is deep and has meaning is what I like... can't do Country Western, or Rap, but just about everything else... One of my favorites in Jazz Fusion is Pat Metheny, his stuff is definitely for deep people that want deep music, way outside the box. Not all his stuff is suitable for the INFJ, but it will definitely enhance your smolder time.
Thanks, I’ll check out Pat Metheny!
This makes me wonder how much overlap there is between music taste and a persons type. I would expect quite a lot. As an INFJ, I think my taste is pretty broad, but I know what I don’t like and what really moves me.
I loved this. Thank you Renaud. Truly resonates for me !

Dmitri Shostakovich certainly must have been an INFJ type. (I love music-- a broad range too extensive to list. I felt compelled to provide him as a particular artist/ composer.)
Thank you Steven :) I love Shostakovich as well. Feel free to share your favorite piece.
@@RensRoom Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony no. 4 (This was difficult, as I love most of his work. When I was a boy, I first found his brilliance on the radio at night. He speaks to my soul.)
symphony no 8 2nd movement is so dramatic and good! Btw anyone here listens to Tchaikovsky?
@@anisanancy6459 I love his 8th as well. It is basically a reprise of the Symphony 4. I also love his piano concerti. Of course we love Tchaikovsky, as well. Thank you, Nancy.
In utterly classic INFJ form, Shostakovich wrote the masterful 8th rather quickly-- after letting the genius of the piece move through the dark recesses of consciousness. His 4th was composed when he was really beginning to explore. That is why I contrast the two.
Ambient jazz, ambient/electronic alt, cosmic/ambient music, krautrock and folk classical all the way
Guess "ambient" is a key reoccurring word there haha
I think something else that it might have been worth adding is that we do listen to "idealistic" type music like the infps or other nfs but also I think that we usually listen predominantly to "deeper"/heavier music?.. as opposed to distinctly light or fluffy music. Not that we don't listen to Nothing lighthearted or upbeat at all
I think that there are two assumptions that people make when linking musical taste to infjs, one that there is a overall perception of "idealism" that is washed over these types of music, the implication that firstly these types of music are categorised as being for the overly sensitive.
And two that but also somehow infjs aren't quite sensitive enough for them
I disagree with both.
We're sensitive enough, without needing a acutely personalised rendition of our life conveyed through music
Or sadness can be somewhat different, or more subdued but still omnipresent
I can’t fully explain all of my music choices. I could alienate half of my generation by the songs I absolutely hate. They aren’t that different from other ones of the last decades except I think they’re stupid and I’ve said that if I was in a rest home and someone wanted me to kill me all they would have to do would be to repeatedly play those songs. Otherwise my favorites are all over the map. I played recorder in an adult baroque music group when I was ten but I also like the Mongolian metal group the Hu. Who knows? HU!
My music taste is annoyingly picky when it comes to artists, yet broad. I like when a track feels nicely produced, even for commercial purposes but there is a fine line when the music feels "fake", when I just can't take it seriously. I like melodic music but I can't stand some melodies. I can like classical music but can feel crushed by it's perfections, like all that matters for good feelings is perfection, make me feeling unworthy listen to it.
Currently reading your book :) Very good so far..WoW! would you cover maybe sometime what happens when 2 INFJ's meet, fall in, love and get married? Love this content and loving your book Much Love to you. :) we are different in our own right however we function as we should, some of us are very sensitive in nature ..soft and strong. bright & weird~paradoxes, mysterious. Thank You & yes Music.. A day without music? Nah, I don't know what that is like :D
Thank you ^_^ if you have any questions about the book, don’t hesitate to shoot!
yes, boxes and genres don't work for me, any music I like it has to be in sync with what's going on in my head and my emotions :-) It takes me by surprise like a lot of things in life, haha!
Being an INFJ I really do enjoy your videos. However, the one problem I have with your content is that you speak in absolute terms. Does an INFJ have to have all INFJ characteristics at all times? The other point that I do not like in your content is that although helpful, you make an extremely lengthy introduction. Here in this video you spend about 8 minutes giving background. And even after talk about the values of which in music look for such a theme in the common feeling in humanity. I can definitely relate to this. I wish you would give examples. What are types of music that only an INFJ would like. Yes as you mentioned, so nicely I am moved by an emotion which links us all as humanity. For example, I like free jazz of John Coltrane giving a sense of ease and relaxation. I also like a good hard rock song which can resonate the darker emotions of humanity.
Thanks Constantine! You’re right that speaking in absolute terms is, in point of fact, an issue of which I’m aware. It’s a difficult one to negotiate though, because in a sense it’s impossible to talk about INFJs without generalising to some degree. I usually leave it implicit that my comments will apply to a subset of INFJs and not the whole.
@@RensRoom Thanks for taking the time to respond. I know this sounds really odd, but I always felt myself an INFJ even before knowing which is a pretty INFJ thing to say. For me the defining element is the fact that all my life I have walked alone. Is the INFJ destined to be alone. Yes I have friends and family. This and other characteristics of an INFJ such as extroverted feeling, sensing others when they can't sense themselves. As a child I felt I couldn't related to others because maybe I knew more and often became a self-fulfilling prophecy of aloneness for me. All the best.
Your book is great.
Billie Eilish has gotten my attention this year. I’m disappointed in the newer responses to her Bond song since the movie was released (No Time to Die.) I never saw negatives before that. I’ve loved that song since it came out. I certainly wonder about her personality type.
I like Billie Eilish too :)
Since I was a young teenager I've been mad on Mike Odlfield's music. So much so that I would have really struggled to get through difficult teenage years in the 80s without it. Mike Oldefield has been typed as an INTP and being a Ti dom, I wonder if my attraction to his music is at least partly due to me having Ti child. I think you've said there is an attraction between tertiary and dominant similar functions. His best music really moves me like I feel it could have been written for me, so powerful.
Here's an example of some of his best work from the 80s. dEfinitely worth a listen if you haven't heard this, the latter half is magical in particular.

But no one likes modern jazz, right? EXCEPT INFPs!
Do they like modern jazz?!
@@RensRoom I don't know, I just thought you might need Ne to be able to listen to a painful discordant aural jumble, and then you need Fi to shush all the people who wanna talk thru it. Maybe you can survey your friends?
Across the spectrum yes. But... I definitely PREFER rebel music that's Powerful in my opinion. Universal absolutely . Independent artists these days. Hip Hop alternative.. ++ eg..Tom McDonald, Burden, Sa Roc, Rising Appalachia, Chronixx , Hempress Saliva, Nicki Minaj tweets.. 😉..The Remix Brothers...+++ so many great ones... Fun and wild is Key...and danceable of course. I play music often all day. I like it loud. 😁😈👽💜
Thanks for sharing, Shelli!
What is this all about? A waste of my time.
