I think a lot of it has to do with how easily a person is influenced in general. It seems like people who are easily molded by other people and situations are also easily molded into the stereotype a certain music might fit into. So in that case, it wouldn't be the music influencing their personality so much as the culture surrounding it. I think a stronger-willed person might listen to song and actually be influenced by the words and music more, because they are looking at it from a totally independent, pure point of view and not a "cultural" point of view. They don't give a damn what the main fan base of that genre thinks or acts like. They simply like it because it suits their personal taste. If that makes sense.
In a nutshell, the answer would be yes. It just happens in different, sometimes superficial ways.
