Before you get too excited, keep in mind that this would also be true in a
world in which racists are correct. That's still a world in which college
graduates would generally have college graduate roommates, people who wanted
to live in hip neighborhoods would have roommates who wanted the same, and
people who liked to get wasted and listen to loud music would live with folks
who had the same tastes.

It's easy to imagine this applying to age. If an 18-year-old and a 40-year-old
share an apartment, it's probably because the 18-year-old is willing to be
quiet after 10 PM, not smoke pot in the house, etc. Or because the 40-year-old
is tolerant of late night noise and weed. However, the 18- or 40-year-old
doesn't see it that way; to him, that 22-year age difference has surprisingly
little impact on behavior.

 _However_, the this-is-compatible-with-racism viewpoint can be disproven by
either a) assigning people random roommates (no, not _random roommates who all
got roughly the same SAT scores, want to live in the same state, etc._ ), or
b) seeing if there's a selection process that affects whether people pick
roommates of one ethnicity based on how closely they stereotypically match the
behaviors of another.

In college I had a black roommate who was addicted to funk & hip-hop, and at
the time I was heavily into punk & hardcore. By the end of the year our
musical tastes had switched hosts, so to speak.

You are ignoring the aesthetic and cultural overlaps between the four genres
and their constant crossovers. I wont mention NuMetal, which sucks, but seek
out some of the funky punk stuff that, usually, comes out of London -- you
might even hear some ska nug
