Rap music makes you stupid. * 1
    #21805455 - 06/14/15 09:26 AM (8 years, 7 months ago)

So says a new study by Virgil Griffith, a 25-year-old grad student at Caltech.

A tid bit:
Quote:

...the school with the highest average SAT score happened to be Caltech, shockingly enough. And Caltech students' favorite band, as indicated by their Facebook pages, is Radiohead. But since Caltech has fewer students than plenty of larger schools, Radiohead doesn't get too huge of a bump on the big chart.  According to Griffith's chart, the smartest kids' favorite musician, by a ridiculously huge margin, is Beethoven (average SAT score: 1371). Other smart kid favorites: Sufjan Stevens, U2, Radiohead. The dumbest kids' favorite, meanwhile, is Lil Wayne (average score: 889). Other dumb kid favorites: Beyonce, T.I., Ludacris.

For his part, Griffith doesn't claim that the chart is any sort of definitive IQ-map: As he told The Wall Street Journal, "Their unity is hilarity incarnate. This is to inspire people to think creatively about the data sets that are on the Internet ... Of course there is the whole correlation is not causation thing, but, I mean, duh." Spoken like a true Sufjan fan.

I have to automatically disregard that quote because there is no way U2 should be a favorite of college kids.

But what if the study is accurate? Does that make really make him a racist douche or just a snobby bitch-ass with some power of observation? (I do like Radiohead)

I think U2 and Billy Joel (for heaven's sakes) can be chalked up to smart kids not having the time to look for better music. :lol:

I know plenty of kids that love rap and Lil Wayne. They are all dumb as hell.

I know plenty of people that like U2 and they are all dumb as hell.

But who fuck is Sufjan Stevens?

Billy Joel is awesome.

Yeah, I guess Billy Joel has a few tunes I like.

Sorry, Mr. Joel. Didn't mean any disrespect by my flippant, derisive comment.

Saturday night and you're still hangin' around
You're tired of livin' in your one-horse town
You'd like to find a little hole in the ground
For a while

So you go to the village in your tie-dye jeans
And you stare at the junkies and the closet queens
It's like some pornographic magazine
And you smile

Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Your sister's gone out. She's on a date
And you just sit at home and masturbate
Your phone is gonna ring soon but you just can't wait
For that call

So you stand on the corner in your New English clothes
And you look so polished from your hair down to your toes
Ahh, but still your finger's gonna pick your nose
After all

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
Oh yeah...

So you decide to take a holiday
You got your tape deck and your brand new Chevrolet
Ah, there ain't no place to go anyway
What for?

So you got everything, aw but nothing's cool
They just found your father in the swimming pool
And you guess you won't be going back to school
Anymore.

But Captain Jack can get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Aw Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'
Ooh yeah...

So you play your albums, and you smoke your pot
And you meet your girlfriend in the parking lot
Oh but still you're aching for the things you haven't got
What went wrong?

And if you can't understand why your world is so dead
Why you've got to keep in style and feed your head
Well you're 21 and still your mother makes your bed
And that's too long

But Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Well now Captain Jack will get you by tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Oh Captain Jack will get you high tonight
Take you to your special island
Well now Captain Jack will make you high tonight
Just a little push and you'll be smilin'

Yeah Captain Jack will get you high tonight
And take you to your special island
Captain Jack will make you high tonight
Well now Captain Jack will make you high tonight

It's not that people who like rap are stupid

They just have shitty taste in music

The sad thing is all these poor kids worshiping this blatant anti-intellectual, materialistic,
and violent braggadocio, who dont have a pot to piss in and likely never will. :shrug:

Look at rap lyrics on paper.  Also, look at radio head lyrics on paper.  Both are nonsense.
