I never though about tying ones views to the music they listened to. I do understand some of the stereotypes and some has merit but just because you listened to a group/song/style and this "Friend" went off?

He should know you better than that. I grew up during a great time for music and there are still new bands that impress me. I have been known to jump from many styles in a day. I have my favorites but like some of everything but Classical and that is because I was made to play it for many years and I wanted to play something else. And FZ rocks. I have most of the albums including the box set "Shut up and play your guitar".
