Of course there are smart people that listen to all kinds of music.
I'm not shocked because I used hang out and listen to metal with the debate team and chess club in school. Bunch of dorks at school, but we did enjoy some pretty good music.

EDIT: "Mr Cadwallader then held an online discussion involving 19 members of the academy, 17 of whom were heavy metal fans. They spoke of listening to bands including System of a Down, Slipknot, Tool, Dragon Force, Forward Russia and In Flames when they were in a bad mood and using it to work off frustrations and anger."

I'm sorry, i thought they meant metal
I didn't finish reading the article.

one thing that study neglects. getting good grades does not mean someone is smart; just that they know how to repeat the 'right' answer. i think the common link is social alienation rather than academic ability.

since when the **** is brian may or queen 'metal'?

There was a point where heavy metal fans represented a demographic of people who's mere existence threatened to pollute the gene pool with future convenience store clerks and turn the oxygen we breathe into a precious commodity( See Judas Priest's lawsuit for further evidence of this), However the genre has become signifigantly more intelligent

Yeah. Have you listened to Slipknot? Sure, they're a sh1te band, but "less aggressive"? They're probably one of the most aggressive bands I've ever HEARD in ANY genre. WAY WAY more aggressive and furious than a lot of black metal I've been told to check out.

that's a great one and as awesome as that self titled disc is, i really think their 'disco volante' album is the pinnacle of that group's chaotic intensity, and a level of intensity a group like slipknot can only perpetually try to attain. the 'secret' song in the middle of the disc is gold hehe

i still like their 'california' album the best though.
