Beethoven is the most highly correlated with school SAT scores? The Baby Mozart people will be crushed.

Won't do me any good. I only listen to Japanese, Russian, Romanian, Sweedish, South Korean, & some Spanish & German music. If it has English lyrics, I won't listen to it, because I never believe in the message, whereas lyrics you can't understand can be about whatever you want.

I'm Swedish and I can't honestly say that there's that many good Swedish bands.

 

[Abedeus]

Well I listen to second best... okay, second best in it's genre. But that's damn impressive.

Go U2! ;d

Although I do agree, at least when it comes to my school, idiots listen to pop and rap. Those "more" intelligent listen to Rock and Punk, then there are normal people.

I have yet to find more than 5.

Wauw that virgil guy really is in desperate need of a life.

Not a metalhead? We could trade countries, if you want. I guess I could force myself to get along with Swedish girls. Somehow.

Notice how all the bands and musicians associated with more intelligent people are those that are listened to people who buy apple computers and go around insulting people who have a faith because they think it makes them look more intelligent.

 

[Hookman]

Makes sense to me. Although you've got to love how they gave 'emo' its own section,considering the fact that emo isnt even a genre of music! Also I can give an estimate of what my scores might be since I listen to mostly metal.

So you're saying it implies that loud, Mac-using Atheists are especially intelligent?

I listen to soul-crushing, ball-dropping, kid-scaring death metal, and yet most regard me as "smart". But then again, this is America... hehehe (joking, don't hurt us, precious)

It's not the music that influences the scores, but the scores that influence the music.
Someone with a high I.Q. might appreciate classical music more than others.

I think it's the other way around.

Stupid people will say "Lol that Mozart is an idiot, no words or anything, he sucks" and go back to listen "street music". That is, crap... Sorry, rap.

No, I'm saying that the poll was made up by the aforementioned loud, Mac-using Atheists (hereby known as yuppies)or the information was "collected" by the yuppies.

That's exactly what I mean. How is it "the other way around"..?

This vast Yuppie conspiracy will stop at nothing to install a Starbucks on every corner, and an overpriced fusion restaurant next to each Starbucks. You must foil their schemes at every opportunity.

You said:

Intelligent people think Mozart is good.

But that isn't really true. Some might just think his music did contribute a lot, but they don't like it.

While in reality, stupid people don't like him.

Because it's almost never "smart = like, therefore stupid = doesn't like". For example:

Stupid people like football. But intelligent people like football, too.

And then Math jumps out the window.
