Obviously, it wouldn't be fair to assume that someone is stupid just because of their choice in music. But in my experience, the people I've met who are generally unintelligent seem to prefer the music of Britney Spears, Nickelback (who I must admit to kinda liking), or any rap or emo music. It has also been my experience that when I meet someone who impresses me with their intelligence, they like music such as Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, or Nirvana. Clearly there is music made for unique, intelligent, and artistic people...then there's music made for idiots who like what they're told. It just blows my mind that there are so many brilliant songs from The Beatles like "I Am The Walrus" or "Eleanor Rigby", but the people of today would rather listen to Justin Timberlake whisper and squeal like a girl into a mic while pre-recorded beats loop in the background. How does everyone else feel? Does taste reflect intelligence?
