Rap music makes you stupid. 1

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. LINK
What a racist douche bag.

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.

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

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.

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