Stereotyping people by their favorite author

For example:

Haruki Murakami: People who like good music.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: People who can start a fire.
Dave Eggers: Guys who are in the third coolest frat of a private college.

The full list is here; it says I’m “confirmed 90’s literati”. Which is LOL. If I’m an -ati of anything, it is definitely not liter-, 90s or otherwise.
