Can intelligence be affected by music? Options

[lesliewelcomesyo...]

Ok, so I'm in the IB Diploma program. And I was thinking to myself one day: Can the type of music you listen affect your intelligence? Because, for those of you who know people in the IB Diploma Program, they're the "shit" (Quote from counselor). Not that that's a good thing to be proud of, or whatever. (Read people. I never said it was something to be proud of. Seriously). I digress. So, I thought to myself and calculated that the majority of my class listens to rock (or anything non (mainstrem) rap and/or hip-hop). And that the lower classes (no offense) listen to rap and/or hip-hop. I'm not saying EVERYBODY that listens to rap and/or hip-hop is dumb, or even vice versa (meaning that rock doesn't make you smarter). It was just a thought. What do you guys think?

i think its funny how people that "conform" better than others scholastically think they are actually more intelligent than another. (imo there is no such thing as an intelligent human being, because our thoughts and ideals are consistently updated and changed through time and experiences.)

imo....good grades and good marks in school is great and all, but when you get down to it, all it is is reiterated thought. lessons some other human blatanly tells you in the first place, and all you have to do is remember it and take a test answering the same damn questions the teacher already told you. the person with the better grade might just "conform" alittle better than another, take notes, study, obey lol. but that doesn't necessarily mean he/she is more "intelligent" than you. but i think society wants you to believe that though...


non the less we need this form of education to survive in this monetary system of ours, and we will always have to listen to society born pricks like the OP thinkin they are the shit. [/end hippie rant]


"keep em dumb enough to not question us, but smart enough to do the paper work. "

thats my view on education imo
