>Is exclusively listening to music without lyrics a sign of low IQ?
No but exclusively listening to music with lyrics is a sign of low IQ.

>>11677897
Close. Only listening to an extremely narrow range of different genres or exclusively one genre is a sign of low IQ.

>>11677894
Rap:
>lyrics
>nigs
>shit instrumental

Classical:
>no lyrics
>pre-boomers
>orchestra & piano

Vgm:
>no lyrics(mostly)
>audio engineering
>pretty good

The point has been made

>>11677894
Really depends on what kind of music. What about piano or African and Indonesian instrumentals? Most modern rap falls under instrumental because the lyrics are literally incomprehensible.

It's the other way around, listening to music with lyrics (unless it's classical), calling musical pieces without lyrics "songs" and enjoying any music other than classical are signs of a low IQ.

No because IQ is not defined strictly enough for that to have any fucking bearing on it. God, you dumb fuck. Just say "intelligence". Just say you think music with no lyrics is dumb. Don't fucking throw buzzwords like "IQ" around to pretend you're being scientific. You stupid fucking wanker. Fuck off to /mu/.

>>11677894
Nope, it's the other way around.

>>11677894
Being obsessed with IQ is the biggest sign of a low IQ.

lyrics is where they put the classical conditioning, propaganda, and clandestine mental programming.

it's so funny to me that people think what they consume/listen is the least bit interesting

>>11679363
I’m interested to know what music you listen to

>>11677894
Listening to music is a sign of low iq.

>>11677894
probably. Anymore I overwhelmingly listen to music from other languages I don't understand. I have also observed a noticeable drop in my cognition power with age.

Op how much of a brainlet do you have to be to post this?

>>11677922
or that you're autistic

>>11677894
If I wanted lyrics, I'd read a book of poems. Music is about sound. If you need words to convey a mood or feeling, you're a shitty musician

I have the 6xx, wish I bought the amp, I thought people were memeing when they said to get the amp too

>>11680380
>using the 6xx without an amp
definitely low iq

>>11680215
The voice is just an instrument, and no other instrument sounds quite like it. But I can understand not liking the way it sounds

Music sets the atmosphere, the feeling. Lyrics tell the story, bring the message. They empower each other.

It is the other way around. You can't think and listen to voices at the same time.

It's the most surefire index there is.

>>11677959
TRUE

Yeah I listen to 6ix9ine exclusively and I have 200 IQ

kids with autism will listen to vacuum cleaner videos

>>11677897
Radiohead is high IQ?

>>11677897
I woulda thought Elton John would be higher up on the list

one study I do recall looking at music and IQ found that the complexity and novelty of the piece had some bearing, because the lower IQ brain does not like complexity or novelty, at the lower end there is a preference for simple repetitive beats and a dislike of more interesting music.
The presence of lyrics is somewhat irrelevant. it's what they do with it that matters.

>>11684709
this is not to say that the high IQ can't also enjoy the more simple music but the inverse is unlikely.

>>11677894
your shit taste is a sign of low IQ nothing more

>>11677894
No, but it might show a problem with sensory processing.

IQ is sensitivity to patterns. The higher IQ, the less unpredictable and free of possibly confusing patterns the music needs to be in order for you to meaning fully decode it. The high information content of genres like rap (lyrics), or metal, jazz (musically) make such genres painful to listen to to high IQ individuals, but it may make them attractive to the lower IQ people, who can process more data more quickly.

>>11684777
yeah this, it's about information density.

>>11684782
I think even the controversial "communication gap" may be the result of this. Lower IQ people expect more thorough explanations, and need avoid potentially confusing patterns much less, while high IQ people think they are making things SIMPLER by saying less, (because processing a lot at once is a problem for them) and may read too much between the lines where no such information was intended.

I think even the controversial "communication gap" may be the result of this. Lower IQ people expect more thorough explanations, and don't need to avoid potentially confusing patterns as much, while high IQ people think they are making things SIMPLER by saying less, or give long winded talks with little information density (because processing a lot at once is a problem for them) and may read too much between the lines where no such information was intended.

>>11677894
the opposite

>>11684817
As in the joke:
Basic education: I don't know
High school: I am unable to tell.
Some college: I don't posses such information.
Three degrees: Unfortunately, I need to inform you I was forced to conclude I am not capable of providing the information that you requested.
