Music That Makes You Dumb? (you are what you listen to)

I’m all over the place on that chart.

[ClearCase_guy]

Maybe I don’t listen the right kind of music: I understand the horizontal axis, but what determines vertical position?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I don’t see the “Bonzo Dog Doodah Band.”

[mnehring]

Vertical seems to determine number of bands in the count, more bands are in that 1000 to 1100 range.

[mnehring]

Looks like the chart doesn’t plot below 800. :->

[Skooz]

Ditto. I’m either a genious or the most degenerate moron on earth.

[ClearCase_guy]

People who listen to Jazz are dumber than people who listen to Jay-Z. Apparently.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I can’t believe you know who they are, LOL! Freepers are the best.

“Death Cab for Suzie?”

I have Uncles a few years older than me. I swear we must’ve worn out those LPs playing them so much, LOL!

(They also taught me the wonders of beer, much to Mom’s chagrin...)

[mnehring]

I always say there is a fine line between genius and insanity.

[Infralutheran]

Not one of my favorite bands are listed. I’ll take that as a sign that I am either an idiot or a genius, or maybe both.

[Huck]

I always say certain music makes you stupid. I'll come across some rap or dance track, and joke that I can feel my brain cells eroding. Must...change....station.

I recall a study years ago that determined chickens lay more eggs if they are played classical music. I think that stupid people listen to stupid music, and stupid music makes you even more stupid than you already are.

You get 800 for spelling your name right.

[mnehring]

That may be a case of those who answered with the phrase “Jazz” versus a specific artist. IE, dumb people who wanted to appear smart and sophisticated so they answered jazz.

[colinhester]

People who listen to Jazz are dumber than people who listen to Jay-Z. Apparently.

I thought that was kind of odd as well.

[Huck]

I don’t see any jazz on the chart. Where’s Django? Where’s Duke Ellington? How about blues? Where’s BB King? Oh yea, and where’s the good old Grateful Dead?

[Dallas59]

Where’s White Denim?

[dfwgator]

People who listen to Jazz are dumber than people who listen to Jay-Z. Apparently.

It's true if they listen to Kenny G.

[martin_fierro]

Kenny G is way, waaaay off to the left there.

[ClearCase_guy]

Which points out how subjective the whole thing is. "I'm dumb, but I want to sound smart, so I'll put down 'Jazz'".

Also, for vertical placement, I understand that they can't pile up all the "middle answers" on top of one another, but someone decided that Greenday was going to be in the lowest row, and Coldplay was going to be in the highest row. They ought to have some criteria for that decision process. This looks like something an eighth grader put together.
