My GF's nephew has autism. When he was younger (about 4 or 5) I noticed him grooving to a tune (I think it was Grand Funk or something similar), and when the guitar solo hit on the high-point or crescendo, his head went back and his eyes squinted as if he were playing it himself. He was genuinely "Feeling It". I knew right then and there that this kid would be musically gifted, and he is. But my point is, taking the title of this thread into context, that some people "Feel It" more than others, mostly because they allow themselves to be more aware of the underlying emotional response that music evokes, and it makes no difference what "Genre" the music is supposed to be categorized in.

Yes, people definitely become (or are) what they listen to... some more than others.
