I know this has been mentioned before but I was just thinking about it. I dont know why but I feel more intellegent ( or something on those lines) than most people because of music taste. Most of the stuff I listen to (electronic wise) is Aphex twin, BOC, autechre, boc, (rock wise) KMFDM , bush & silverchair. All of those atrists have meaning and give out a message and are original in there own kind of way. When i hear people talking about bands like system of a down or limp bizkit or linkin park and say they are awesome and full of meaning i get almost insulted, tho i dont care much about other people. Most of those "atrists" put some lame loops , or guitar riffs together and write cool quotes they see in a fortune cookie from the night before in their lyrics. If no one responds to this post, it dont matter, i just felt like venting i guess, and what better place to do it. |

I personally don't think your musical tastes have any bearing on your intelligence whatsoever, it's like two different parts of the brain or something And Silverchair??? *laughs and hides* |

What's wrong with them? I need a alternative rock fix every once and a while and i usually just pop in bush or silverchair. Theyre not bad, its one of the first rock bands that popped into my head with a smidge of talent when i wrote the post anyway........... |

I think that it can have an effect maybe... I was listening to this new Brian Eno album of mine last night, and I must say, my imagination just ran wild... it sparked all these images in my head... but that being said, isn't that exercise for your mind? It's hard to say it makes you more intelligent, but no doubt it really works your head, and makes you think, and all that... |

I shouldn't have used the word "intellegent" because I guess it's not a good way to put it. But you get the overall point. |

Silverchair = nirvana wanna bes so bad! But uh.... so what? Iam friends with people that listen to stuff on MTV and all that, who like popular trendy stuff, and they are smart people. Its not the same at all. Its just your liking. I dont give a shit what anyone listens to. |

another thing is, music is only as good as what you bring to the listening experience... so, if you feel intelligent when you listen to music maybe it's just that the music maybe enables you to use different parts of your mind... you're already smart maybe, but are just using different aspects of your mind in the listening experience... but who knows? |

you're certainly smarter for music taste but that's as far as it go imo |

Limp Bizkit (Especialy Fred Durst), need to die. But Don't insult System Of A Down. There prety damn original. Bush was even original on there first to albums, System kicks ass...Just listen and you'll understand... |

everyone thinks their music taste is better than that of others'... i dont really think it is an accurate reflection of intelligence... though some forms of music seem to attract more intelligent people...like classical and jazz and whatnot...which i suppose a lot of the music we like takes influences from.. i know intelligent people who like a lot of different kinds of music...including 'unintelligent' types... plus..making the statement 'i feel more intelligent and superior to everyone else because i listen to so and so' comes of as sounding rather pretentious and elitist dont you think? and since the genre has already been dubbed 'intelligent dance music'...we already have a strike against us in that department...we dont need to back up other's preconceptions of us as pretentious nerds do we? |

autechre give out a message?...please explain. explain aphex as well |

And I wouldn't say smarter, just more open to what music is about. And to what "talent" actually means, rather how people see it... |

Sorry people, i now feel like an idiot lol. I completely worded my thoughts in the wrong way.

I read in my psychology book last semester that listening to music is a highly intelligent activity... cause you're interpreting the different melody lines, the drums, the singing (if there is any), the lyrics (again, if there is any), etc, etc... so again I repeat, listening to music is exercise for your mind... |

Hahahahahahahaahahahahaha... people into electronic music tend to be smarter than the average bear, much more interesting in general... so we have a right to feel superior and elite. Giggle. I've always felt like a genious compared to the idiots that surround me, I'm such an arrogant bastard intellectually. Anyone who doesn't listen to music I deem ''intelligent'' is a stupid monkey that isn't quite evolved yet... that's my screwed up view. :-) |

yeah...i guess your musical preference says more about your open mindedness.. which in some ways can be better than intelligence anyways...theres nothing worse than an opinionated, close minded intelligent person...they tend to be known as 'smart asses' i guess you can say open mindedness can lead to greater intelligence though... since an opinionated, close minded stupid person..just stays stupid |

I think musical taste reflects the intelligence of people. For instance, people into Korn & Limp Bizkit tend to be complete idiots. |
||||||||
|

|
|
it seems like a lot of those people are afraid to be smart cos they think others will make fun of them for it. Quatsch! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
People who refer to others as 'complete idiots' tend to be below average in my experience. |

What about physical attractiveness. I knew this really hot girl that was into Limp Bizkit. She was one of the hottest girls I have ever met in real life. She was really hot, and she liked limp bizkit. What about that? |

I'm sorry if you are into them. |

not here her. sorry about they errors. |

I wanted to... but we never really got any time alone to grind beans together. Grinding beans is really good, and she would have been a really good girl to grind beans like, real horrorshow. Fuckin' ell. Look what you made me do. You got me all fuzzy in me warbles like, with orders and disipline and such. |

I don't believe the music one listens to reflects their intelligence... but there's something I can't deny... in general, the people I know that are into Bizkit and similar bands are stupider than those that scoff at those bands... |

well i agree with jarworski that your taste in music has nothing to do with your intellegence level. but i must add that music has its own levels of intellegence. i listen mostly to progressive, cause IMO its the most intellegent music out there. thats why its called progressive, its intellgently pieced together, complex, and skillful. If you have to label my taste in music, i would say im a metal head, but one of my favorite bands is dream theater, and they are far more superior than most artists from any genre... |

i think what the funkmaster said (i think it was him) is that with this kind of music there is a lot more detail to pick out... it may make you feel more intelligent but it's more that you can notice things better, the "little things" seem more vibrant (sp) to whatever sense receives the type of stimulation. i think autechre and BoC effected me the most... when i first listened to these artists i was bored or what not... but as i forced myself to listen i began to notice a lot more in the music. such as sounds intereacting... and the formation of mental imagery. the people that listen to mainstream music don't get the joy of the artists place detail within the music... drums, bass, guitar, and vocals. the element thats only up for interpretation in "pop" music is the vocal... and drums for their feet to interpret too. pop music is intended to just be "popped" in and almost be comes the background, or a "mood setter". electronic on the other hand is "listening music". hope that made some sense, i'm damn tired. |
