I wouldn't exactly call this "science" -- the article has no references whatsoever, the http://musicthatmakesyoudumb.virgil.gr/ site is unavailable, and the graph looks like it was made by a 12 year old. Personally, I got a 1410 on the SATs and I prefer Lil Wayne to Beethoven.

Do you see the average person that listens to lil wayne? It's amazing that they can tie their own shoes. It probably has more to do with the massive drug consumption then the music. But still.

No. It's not if the artist is on the graph that you are dumb. It is where they are on the graph. Look again.

If the thread fails it fails. We are entitled to some fails. Either way it took up time. What we are trying to kill.

You are too quick to call fail when you don't even understand a simple chart. So wouldn't that make your fail call a fail?

Can't be the drug consumption alone, as the grateful dead is comfortably in the "average" range

lol at gospel, graphical proof that religion=stupidity.

I think you answered your own question.

Yea, it is not science, but more along the lines of a statistical aggregation. I would like to see what is at the higher ends of the chart; my SAT score does not even lie within the range of the chart. And I find it hard to believe anyone scoring within the Beethoven range to be able to get into Harvard less their parents donate a wing or something.

In any case, this chart doesn't so much as say a particular type of music is dumb as much as merely showing us what types of people listen to a particular set of music, ie. Lil Wayne = delinquients.

Any further assumptions are completely up to the reader, but then again if a person walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, listen's to duck music, he's most likely a...hippo. Wait, that's not right.

Coldplay... pretentious BS for white people.

Friend of mine teaches at a university in Seattle and is working on getting his phd. He listens exclusively to oldies from the 1950s and 1960s and absolutely nothing else.

As for religious people, note the higher ranking of Jars of Clay compared to, say, most of the rest.

Interesting chart

Half is a low ball guess. And Don't forget the pills...

I'd say a big portion wayne listeners are little white girls that drive jettas and get zannie faced daily.

Classical music is great to smoke to so GTFO

And any real hip hop fan knew Lil Wayne was a joke years ago.

Whether or not the chart is scientific or not, this thread holds some truth. The type of "music" that "Little Wayne" produces is largely a collection of cheap gimmicks and generic subject matter. Naturally it will appeal to those who are less educated, and easily amused (or those who are gullible enough to buy into his show-biz image). But then again, some people will like what they like, regardless of their level of intellect. Yet, you CAN see trends. It's called correlation without direct cause.

lil wayne has some of the most creative lines compared to many rappers, and he releases new songs almost every day.. the demand for his s*** is so high.. so he produces and produces unlike any other rap artist..

Ugh.

NAF of LW, but whatever.

I don't see Queensryche / Dream Theater on that list... Then again, I don't see my 1480 (99th %ile) on their SAT scale, either.

If I had a choice to remove 1 person just one person from existance forever it would be Lil' Wayne..... what a waste of air that guy is DIAF

I listen to R&B, Rap 50% of the time and Rock 50%. The rap and R&B is great background noise but its all about money and sex. It gets old pretty quick.

If I want music to inspire a mood its going to be, Foo Fighters, Metallica or Chevelle!

Did I miss Pantera on that list?
