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?

Say, let's go with your hypothesis of people who listen to rap and/or hip hop as "less smart."
So, here are a few assumptions: 1) You claim that people who take IB are "the shit" and therefore supposedly, rather intelligent. 2) People in your class, including you, do not listen to rap and/or hip hop. 3) Since people in your class are "smarter" and don't listen to rap and/or hip hop, therefore, it must be the people who are not as smart who listen to rap and/or hip hop. Assuming these assumptions are "correct", especially the dealing with that people in your class, you included don't listen to rap and/or hip hop, how do you explain that you're not exactly doing very well in the IB program? http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=241440 I mean, afterall, you don't listen to hip hop and/or rap do you? Better get on to listening to some rock or shit. May I suggest classical music instead. How about some Mozart for your math? hm? |

I'm not one of those smart students. Like I said originally, it's a thought. I wanted to see where people would go with this. Maybe I should have worded this a little more differently. And I said majority. Not all. In fact, our class listens to a WIDE range of music. None stick to a single genre. And when I say rap/hip-hop, I do mean mainstream. I mean, all I've heard them talk about are money, sex, and drugs. Sure, there are few exceptions, but, really? And btw, I do listen to orchestral music. It's nice and soothing. I'm doing fine in the IB program grade-wise, I'm just not sure if I want to waste 2 years on my life trying to get something I probably won't get. |
