Music Banter - View Single Post - Do you think ones taste in music is a reflection of their intellectual capacity?

Interesting question, but I feel like going against the grain with some of the beliefs in the answers I have read. There can also be fake intellectuals who listen to so-called upper-IQ music and Bubblegum Pop listeners who can seriously have a very high IQ - Facing a lot of stress, maybe one needs a major break from thinking a hell of a lot, and maybe something like that can relieve some tension, especially when it's performed by someone that's attractive to the listener in many cases. We have seen a lot of people go through that, always making us wonder why they listen to "that stuff".

I can fully understand some of the opinions, and judging from my real life surroundings I'm bound to agree, but only about 80-90 percent of the time. There's always room for "the exception to the rule."
