Music that makes you dumbMusic

[RandomCarGuy17]

Hmmm, a lot of the music between the 1036 and 1156 area is what I listen to.
I knew it, I really must be an idiot.

In my opinion, it's not only heavy metal (such as AC/DC, Metallica, etc.) that makes you dumb, but also electronic acid music as they say it sounds like alien music.

Who exactly says this?

Music can't make someone dumb (unless it's Lil' Wayne), it's just dumb people happen to like it... Though any artist who only sings songs about "bitchin' hoes (which I think means "complaining gardening tools")" is an exception... That will make you dumb.

What is that exactly, because it sounds like you have no idea what you're talking about.

Trust me, he has no clue.

Beethoven and Norah Jones, what a lovely evening in

EDIT: Where's Scarlatti? I had to do a 1 hour recital of his genius* at the pianoforte.... MUCH more complex than Beethoven's rants!

*Sadly unrepresentative, I fear

I suppose that's a bit too highbrow for College students.

They should do a MENSA poll...

Well...

That's a fun little graph, it'd be cool to see one with more bands/artists on it. Unfortunately I've not taken the SAT, so I can't compare it to the chart. I actually don't even know when we're supposed to take it, but we did the ACT last year. You would think the counselors would tell you this sort of thing.

Also: The Who are absent from the list, that's kind of surprising to me.

The spirit of Keith Moon probably ate any evidence of The Who being on the chart.

Naw, if Keith Moon was involved it was probably blown up.

In a toilet.

In a toilet.

With a stick of dynamite. After causing a food fight and driving a Lincoln into a pool.

(That last part actually may not be true)

A lot of people believed that people who frequently listen to classical music are smarter than most people. According this image (which can easily be debated there are a ton of artists who are not on here from every genre), that statement is true.

Should the statement be:
If you're smart, then you listen to classical music.
Or:
If you listen to classical music, then you're smart.

 

[niky]

Should the statement be:
If you're smart, then you listen to classical music.
Or:
If you listen to classical music, then you're smart.

Or: people from the scoioeconomic classes that tend to listen to classical music (upper-class, wealthy or moderately wealthy, scholarly), tend to focus more on academic achievement and have the money to spend on better schools, and thus achieve higher SAT scores than others.

Should the statement be:
If you're smart, then you listen to classical music.
Or:
If you listen to classical music, then you're smart.

It is more like this:
People listening to classical music are more likely to have better grades.
And:
People with better grades are more likely to listen to classical music.

As you can see, you cannot tell the causation of either event just with statistical data, the correlation.

What if dumb people find out about this and listen to classical music because they think it will make them smarter? Will classical music still be music for "intelligent people?" Heck, I'm not exactly a brainy subject myself. Maybe I'll start listening to it!

This has already happened:

But of course, there's no proof that simply listening to classical music makes you smarter (the original study that suggested it has been widely disputed, and, finally, disproven. Actually making and studying music, on the other hand, does.

I'm actually surprised Ben Folds is on there. Whatever campus has that on their top ten list, I want in.
