I don't think it's so much the music you listen to as what you take from the music you listen to. If you only listen to the Sex Pistols because you think rebellion and nihilism are cool, then that's one thing; if you listen to them because you genuinely believe that they're a great rock band with some great songs, then that means something completely different.
Some people listen to the Smiths because of Morrisey's lyrics; others listen because of Johnny Marr's incredible confections. So...it depends.
