... fans of hip hop / rap, DJ-based music, and dance / house were no more likely than most to be vegetarian or to vote for liberal political parties, and were among the least likely groups of fans to agree with liberal beliefs such as increased taxation to pay for public services, exploitation of alternative energy sources, and state-funded health care. In short, although the fans of ‘problem’ musical styles had some liberal beliefs their responses also indicated a rather anti-social element consistent with previous research concerning their elevated level of delinquency.
