    Kevin Shields
    INTP

    INTP (4w5)

    Kevin Shields personality type is INTP, but his music is definitely written by an ENTP. The songs are said to be about himself, but I can't help but believe that they are about two people. First, there's the song "If I Ever Feel Better", which is about himself, then there's the songs "You Know It's True" and "A Place Called Space", which are both about his girlfriend (or de facto lover now). The album artwork shows him alone, but I can't help but believe that he's sitting on this couch holding his guitar or computer. Next, the band website contains this quote:

    "I'm not really into writing for other people. I like writing songs for myself. I don't want to write for other people. I want to write for myself and for my future songs."

    - Brian Jonestown Massacre

    This quote is very much in line with an ENTP, who is generally known for being very self-centered. They are always looking toward the future, so it would make sense if Brian was writing songs about himself or his future. The songs are also very much in line with the Brian Jonestown Massacre's music, especially their music from the 90s.

    Kevin Patrick Shields (born 21 May 1963) is an Irish musician, singer-songwriter, composer, and producer, best known as the vocalist and guitarist of the band My Bloody Valentine. They would become extremely influential on the evolution of alternative rock with their two studio albums Isn't Anything (1988) and Loveless (1991), both of which pioneered a subgenre known as shoegazing. Shields's texturised guitar sound and his experimentation with his guitars' tremolo systems resulted in the creation of the "glide guitar" technique, which became a recognisable aspect of My Bloody Valentine's sound, along with his meticulous production techniques.
