sation), and not because it's 'glamorous' or cool to like it. I actually used a lot of my tastes in fiction (books, movies, games) as MC's exactly for reference-making, but since that's pretty much all I share with the character I don't think that's a problem.

My thought is, what are you using these tastes to say about your character? They're very popular bands, so using them implies that your character has pretty mainstream tastes in music. If that's what you want to communicate about your character, then it's fine. But if your character is supposed to be weird or eccentric, you'd probably want to tilt more toward lesser-known bands, which will probably require you to start looking into them yourself.
Basically, it all comes down to what kind of person your character is intended to be, and what you're trying to communicate with these interests. If they fit the kind of person your character is supposed to be, it's fine.
