Your psychology decides your behaviour and your behaviour indirectly reflects your personality that decides what type of music you tend to listen. Mental health affects a lot if you listen to hardcore music or loud music. Physical and environmental factors are the core factors that indirectly reflect on what type of music you prefer and listen and will affect you accordingly.
