SAT Scores And Musical Taste

<< < (5/14) > >>

i got a 2200 or so, which is like a 1450ish in the old score used on the chart... which would mean i listen to beethoven. or possibly, according to some uk dudes i guess, metal? neither of those is particularly true. ah well.

i do not like the SAT. the SAT gave me and some of my friends panic attacks. if i ever come across the SAT in a dark alley...

While it may have been partly tongue in cheek, Hat has the right of it when he says that this survey tells you more about people's goals and self-image than it does about the affect music has on intelligence. People are notorious for selecting music that fits who and what they want to be, after all. My classmates who didn't give a crap about their schoolwork were not suddenly made any dumber when Blink 182 came on the scene, they just flocked to a band that reflected their laid back and somewhat contrary attitude, that's all.

I find it hilarious that Lil' Wayne is given the lowest SAT score...I cannot stand his music


I am also disappointed that most of my favorite bands aren't even on the expanded list no less

But that doesn't explain why intelligent people would listen to Sufjan or Counting Crows.

I'm pretty sure EVERYONE AT MY UNIVERSITY listens to lil wayne.  Now I admit he's got a few cool songs and has done some interesting stuff, but please, there's a lot more in the hip-hop world than lil wayne.
