I am wondering if some research has already been made about the study of psychic instances (id, ego, superego) and the drives such as Thanatos and Eros regarding the movie preferences and music tastes. In that, I mean how can psyche be related to our culture? Also, how does the unconscious communicate through movies and music? Depending on what the individual experienced through his/her life, does he or she selects more spontaneously cultural components reflecting/repeating components from his/her past (freudian repetition compulsion)? My question is very wide, but you get the idea. :)
Individuals who are dominated by Eros have libidinal impulses towards pornography; those dominated by Thanatos are drawn to horror movies. Superego intervention confronts the Ego with the dilemma that is solved through the defense mechanism of watching PG movies, eating popcorn, and drinking diet soda.
