Side effects of sharing a bedroom with an older brother?

I was talking to a friend the other day who asked me whether me and my brother were close. I replied 'no'! It set me off thinking why this was the case....and the answer wasn't that hard to come by. During the 80's when I was a wee sprat growing up, I used to share a bedroom with him. And being the elder by 4 years, he dictated like Muslini what went on the stereo. Him going through that troubled boys stage (spots, B.O., bumfluff moustache) meant that I was forcefed album after album of prog rock! I now know all the lyrics to all the albums of Rush through no fault of my own..... still it helped me to write bad poetry! But if I ever see By-Tor or his bloody Snow dog then I'm gonna have it neutered. This set me thinking does anyone else have any quirks as a result of sharing a bedroom with a sister/brother?

i think it can make u either too conciliatory (depending on whether hero-worship occured) or too rebellious (if u could defend yourself ably, if not exactly kick his ass)

Thankfully I escaped this problem, namely by having a sister and a separate room. This means I became the selfish crabby isolated bastard I am. Er.

This was clearly solved by me and my brother with the simple fact we dont have a stereo on our bedroom, and when i take mom's there i use headphones

Bosko: Undoubtedly the younger brother.
