Does what you listen to affect who you are?

Yet another study to suggest that what you listen to has a profound effect on how you act. If we ignore the statistical anomalies, and the fact that there is no proof of a causal relationship, simply a correlation, we are left with more questions.
If music lyrics can effect our sexual activity, can our web-surfing have a similar effect? If we read underground news sites, are we more likely to be a dissident? If we read erotica, are we more likely to become "sexually deviant"? If we post opinion pieces, or write a blog, are we more likely to become outspoken in real life? Or is the relationship slightly more confused than that?
In the words of Nick Hornby:
"Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?"
