I have seen a trend in people in CS/math who love prog and related types of metal. More so than other disciplines.

Another lover of metal, who only follows European football. Still in my 20s though.

Yes they do (at least in my environment) and it's extremely annoying :P

Me being more of a Floyd/soul/electronica aficionado.

Prog metal and death metal are my favourites. It is true, growing up in the 80s it would be inevitable but a lot of my school friends were listening to pop music. I think there is definitely a pattern with CS and metal. Not sure why.
