SAT Scores vs. Music You Listen To
26 02 2009
Not really sure if I believe this.
Kind of surprised Lil’ Wayne is on the bottom end. I know some smart ass dudes who bump Weezy on the regular.

So basically, this study says it’s better to listen to white people music.

I don’t think if you change what you listen to now it would do you any good.

its not really the fact thats its a race thing. it is just saying that listening to classical music makes you think more than if you were listeing to rap. and what also helps this study is that lil wayne doesnt actually say full words which in turn MAKES PEOPLE D-U-M-B!!

Actually that’s not what it says at all. This study draws a correlation not a causation. You can’t determine cause from correlations. Think about the different environments people are immersed in. Many of those who listen to Lil Wayne do not care about the SATs. They are not important to these people. The SAT is an achievement test and does not measure other types of intelligence, such as emotional intelligence.
What does classical music make one think about? I think it’s more of a cultural thing than a “it makes you think more” thing. Lil Wayne can actually be very thought provoking. Instead of making judgments about people, I would suggest that we try placing ourselves in their position.

no, YOU clearly don’t listen to lil’ wayne. go listen to his song tie my hands and then tell me if you still feel like he has nothing worth saying to say. you cant judge a rapper based on his most popular stuff. they dumb down their lyrics to be more commercial, which is why people like soulja boy can make millions upon millions but incredibly intelligent rappers like common and talib kweli, while greatly respected, do not have huge hits.

Classical music stimulates the creative part of the brain. The only thoughts Lil wayne MIGHT provoke is how he got so famous, or if he thinks hes guitar playing is transcending his crappy music. REALLY repetitive music such as rap doesn’t stimulate anything but the imaginary trigger finger.
People who don’t about the SAT (quite a few exceptions though), don’t care about their future. So thus, generally speaking, people who listen to lil wayne who don’t care about the SAT are stupid for not caring. I tried placing myself into a ghetto rascals socks for a second, but stopped when I realized I was purposely trying to convert myself into an unproductive member of society.

No it means that if you are white you are smarter. Being black and listening to Beethoven will not increase your IQ.

I listen to lots of stuff on here, from the bottom up (but not classical… >.<). I did just fine.
I’m pretty sure it’s crap. The kids who listen to Beethoven are the rich, snotty little kids who go to private schools. Ah, stereotypes! But normal people just don’t listen to classical…

I listen to Beethoven I am not rich nor snotty. I am smart. Your choice of music can affect you emotionally which in turn affects your school work study habits and influences. If people appreciate and understand music it wouldn’t be a problem at all. So be smart and optimistic stop judging.

Ummm, I am pretty normal and I listen to plenty of classical music. I work at a power plant as an operator. I have a wife and 2 kids, and I have a mortgage. Sounds pretty damn normal to me. I also listen to every other kind of music. A person’s intelligence cannot be rated by the music type they listen too. Although our perceptions of a person could change by the music they listen to. Anyways, whatever…

Not all people who like classical music such as Beethoven are rich, snotty, or go to private school. My family has never had money and I myself attend a small poorly funded school yet still enjoy Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven) or Violin Concerto No. 5 (Mozart).

Oh, so what are you? Let me guess…white. Dude, this is the stupidest thing ever. America just elected a black president and people are still saying this? Okay, first off, studies don’t show a culture. Go to hell. And? I’m white.

Actually there are other studies that refute what you just said….nothing to do with race by the way. Listening to classical, music i.e. certain composers (Bach, Chopin, Mozart, and Beethoven) DO increase brain activity, especially if listened to early in the morning….so it’s not that shocking to see these findings.
