Indie Rock Interest and Personality
How does indie-rock liking relate to other questionnaire dimensions, overall and within each recorded gender? The historical measure was a single item about liking the band The Pixies. It is a narrow music-preference proxy, not a comprehensive measure of indie-rock taste.
Artistic and intellectual interests stand out
Combined-sample high/low gaps are +18.2 points for artistic interests (0.76 SD) and +12.7 for intellectual interests (0.72 SD). Both exceed the substantial-gap screen in men and women separately.
Some smaller gender differences
The intellectual-interest association is stronger descriptively in women (r = +.271) than men (+.213). Artistic-interest associations are +.236 and +.201. These differences are descriptive, not formal tests of a gender interaction.
A further high/low association
Alcohol/tobacco use and attitudes has a +12.3-point combined-sample gap (0.51 SD), passing the screen overall and in women, but not in men. This scale blends behavior and attitudes; it is not a clinical substance-use measure.
The item is dated and narrow
These preferences were recorded in 2008-2011 and refer to one band. Associations may reflect musical exposure, age/cohort, cultural background, and broad response tendencies. They should not be generalized to every indie-rock listener today.
Everyone

How to Read These Comparisons
High and low are score bands, not population percentiles. High means 75-100 on the focal item, low means 0-25. Intermediate scores are omitted only from the high/low contrasts; correlations use every retained profile.
Raw r is the Pearson correlation before adjustment. Age-adjusted r removes quadratic approximate age and recorded gender, with gender-by-age interactions. Full r also removes relationship-category terms and gender-by-category interactions. The men-only and women-only fits are separate and adjust age and status without a gender term. Status may be intertwined with the focal measure; neither adjustment identifies a causal effect.
Adjusted gap is the high-minus-low difference in mean outcome residuals after the full adjustment, in 0-100 score points. It is not a percentage increase. SD gap divides that gap by the outcome's SD in the entire relevant gender cohort, not just the two extreme groups. It is not conventional pooled-group Cohen's d. Raw low/high means remain available in the complete tables.
Substantial-gap screen: at least 500 people per side in each deterministic split half; |SD gap| at least 0.50 overall and 0.40 in each half, with the same direction. The separate continuous screen is |full r| at least .25 overall and .23 in both halves, with the same direction. These are effect-size filters, not significance tests, and are not universal cutoffs for importance. Both halves are from the same historical sample, not independent external validation.
Coverage: 135,982 adult profiles with recorded male/female metadata and approximate age 18-80, from 253,717 valid stored profiles. The common cohort excludes missing or implausible adult age, missing male/female metadata, invalid/all-50 profiles, and split-by-gender-by-age-band-by-status cells below 30 people (259 otherwise eligible adult profiles). No other gender categories can be examined from this extract. All 40 other stored dimensions are retained for each focal item, including 38 personality dimensions and the other two single-item measures.
Limits: self-selected historical users, self-report measurement, potential shared response tendencies, and social-network dependence. Birth year may have been inferred from graduation; its provenance is not marked. Relationship metadata may have updated independently of testing. The wealth, weight, height, competence, and attractiveness scores are self-ratings, not objective measurements. The attractiveness scale partly refers to opposite-sex attention, which complicates attraction-group interpretation. No correction for a broad response factor is performed here.
Historical tests: April 26, 2008 to October 19, 2011. Aggregate-only extraction; no names, contact details or individual answers exported.
