Cold , hard science : Smart people like metal

In your face, classical! Get bent, “intelligent dance music”! In a survey of over a thousand gifted and talented teenagers conducted by British psychologist Stuart Cadwallader, a third of those surveyed listed heavy metal as one of their favorite genres of music.
Honorary metal bro Cadwallader presented his findings to a conference of the British Psychological Society this week. “There is a perception of gifted and talented students as being into classical music and spending a lot of time reading,” Cadwallader reported. “I think that is an inaccurate stereotype. There is literature that links heavy metal to poor academic performance and delinquency but we found a group that contradicts that. They feel more stressed out and turn to heavy metal as a way of relieving that stress. Participants said they appreciated the complex and sometimes political themes of heavy metal music more than perhaps the average pop song. It has a tendency to worry adults a bit but I think it is just a cathartic thing. It does not indicate problems.”

Anyway pop and bad stuff along that line is just for the media to make a quick buck -
heavy metal helps me relieve stress and get through the bad times.....
it's not like pop or other music is gonna make u dumb or there isn't any smart ppl that likes pop music.....for some ppl, music is a way for them to relax like a leisure activity so they might not want to think too much about a song.
some pop songs have poetic musings about life and what's around, that's meaningful too... -

errr. I like some Mozart, My Chemical Romance, Avril, Linkin, Beethovan, Garbage, Frank Sinatra, Bollywood, AC/DC, Camille Saint-Saëns and almost every musician that that talks to me with their music... I am not into any genre because hey, I live life as me....
