Educational level/career choice and musical taste

[Cythraul]

You're being stereotyped as "glue-sniffing" morons because a few metalheads are "glue-sniffing" morons. I think I've met one intelligent metalhead in my whole life (I don't consider myself being a metalhead). They're either fucking unintelligent or pseudo-intellectuals only listening to NSBM.

Judgments like that depend on your own experience. I've known metalheads who are either completely dumb, level-headed and fairly smart, or ones who are absolutely brilliant (myself included :Spin: ). On the other side of the coin, of all the people I've met who listen to pop, alternative, mainstream rock, rap, and nu-metal they were all of far lesser intelligence than most metalheads I've associated with.

Metal has become indistinguishable from other 'scenes', for the most part, but there's a few intelligent people around.

The study is just placing people into groups based on hierarchy. It sounds like it is based more off of stereotypes than actual statistics. I do not think that it is a good representation of the population as a whole. Musical tastes vary from person to person. It is more about culture and personal ideologies than education. I know high school educated people who listen to a variety of different music from rock to jazz. But, I also know high school dropouts and other cretins who listen to the likes of ICP, Korn, and Marilyn Manson.

In other words, it depends entirely on the individual. I think that the study is intentionally trying to base everything on education and traditional stereotypes. I do not even listen to Wasp myself, nor do I know anyone who listens to them. I do not even consider myself a metal head. I listen to Opeth, David Bowie, and so on because I do not believe in limiting myself to one musical genre. I really do not try to fit myself into a particular group either. What is the point? Every genre of music should be enjoyed.
