Books and Music that make you dumb

[blueczarina]

i think this is old, but anyway this guy used data from Facebook and compared music and literature tastes to SAT scores and these are the charts. the SP aren’t on the music list, but i don’t think liking them makes you dumb since Billy writes brilliant, intelligent masterpieces, but i’m biased. and the pumpkins kick ass.

also i’m not sure if i agree with the lit one totally? i don’t know? maybe

and sorry for the long post.

[last_rose_of_summer]

wow, i like a lot of bands and books on those lists, does that mean i’m dumb?

[blueczarina]

depends on where the they are on the SAT scale

[last_rose_of_summer]

um… both high and low hehehe

[last_rose_of_summer]

it appears that geniuses listen to beethoven

[blueczarina]

yeah, i don’t like anything on the way low end, because i just don’t like that stuff- rap, lame rock bands, and what not. i like stuff on the middle to high. i’m suprised by where some things were placed though, especially the books. some seem like they should be lower and others a bit higher.

and the retards listen to lil wayne

[blueczarina]

pretty much ^^ he looks like a retard though. i saw a bit of that Katie Couric interview with him- holy crap!

and it looks my Russians score high on the book front

I was going to say that I don’t think those graphs are very good, when I realized that this is america we’re talking about with its questionable education, and clique-y high schools.

For instance – I was going to say I certainly enjoy Blink 182 and MCR, but I would probably place higher on the graph. But then I remember that, particularly in the US, the vast majority of fans of those bands are idiotic fangirls.

Oh well.

yeah, in America fans of those bands, esp. MCR are basically idiotic pre-teen emo fan girls.

and yeah, our high schools are clique-y. everybody has there schtick, their group they try to fit in even it requires a lot of effort on their part. hell my dumbass little brother’s dumbass friend decided he wanted to be emo when he started highschool. so he started wearing girl pants and put safety pins on his jacket and bought a pack of Green Day badges and pinned them to his hat. and as if that wasn’t gay enough he was telling everybody that he wanted to kill himslef so he would look all emo. it backfired though because another one of his friends turned him in to the counselor for shits and his first week of highschool his parents had to be called in for his dumbass lies. they wanted to kill him.

Well I got to ask this. Why aren’t The Smashing Pumpkins listed on here? So, because they are not listed that means listening to them makes you smarter than a genius?! They are so top notch they go beyond the scale

nice logic i thought jazz would be in the higher tier of scores.

[Marcella]

Once, in this MCR forum, a girl posted: \"I know it’s bad and everything, but I like cutting my wrists because it looks cool!\"

I was off that place the next day.

And I agree, Reggaeton definitely makes you stupid. It’s all people listen to over here. And when they dance it it’s like rude animal porn.

[blueczarina]

ewww, Marcella

and yeah, some things on the scales are weird. i would think jazz and classical would be higher.

and yes, listening to the pumpkins makes you better than genius. it makes you a pumpkintastic SPfreak

[Marcella]

LOOOOL I hadn’t noticed that The Holy Bible was up there .

[blueczarina]

i know. no offense to anybody, but i find it funny.

[Marcella]

I’m a Catholic and find it hilarious XD.

And I don’t see any Stephen King books up there!Probably reserved for more than genius people as well.

[blueczarina]

could be

i like the location of Crime and Punishment one of my faves! but i’m surprised there is no War and Peace or The Brothers Karamazov or something.

and i just realized that there is \"The Holy Bible\" and \"The Bible\" on there- whats the difference?

[Marcella]

Also, in the music one, how can Alternative makes you almost dumb yet Radiohead makes you almost genius?

[blueczarina]

i know? WTF? some alternative does suck ass though. its not all so smartly written.

and why is Harry Potter so high? and Where the Red Fern Grows sucks ass. i hate that book. we had to read it in elementary school and i quit reading it because it blew.

[Marcella]

And where is The Little Prince? I learned to read with that book. I have the deluxe version and everything .

[blueczarina]

yeah, they left a lot of stuff off.

[some pumpkins]

im glad they included catcher in the rye. i love that book.

[Marcella]

I have yet to read that one, I hear about it everywhere.

[blueczarina]

i don’t like that book actually. never did?

[Superlordspamulon]

LOOOOL I hadn’t noticed that The Holy Bible was up there .[/quote:36wnr5v9]
Yeah. And it’s logically low too. The majority of christians that actually READ the Bible often (or at least claim to) tend to be fundamentalists, which tend to be creationists, which are idiots. Thus, they suck at education. Mostly because they’re brainwashed to believe everything science tells them is wrong.
