Yes, there's a link between how much you appreciate musical complexity and your cognitive ability.

>>11920809
give me a $10k research grant and i'll find all the correlations you want bud

>>11920809
>rock and classical music.
both are broad definitions, can you present examples of music you enjoy.

>>11920809
there's a tendency for more intelligent people to like certain things. but it's a loose correlation. /mu/ had a good thread on this awhile ago.
the general trends were that dumb people don't listen to instrumental music, but there were vocalists that still broke into the high intelligence bracket.
iirc the artist with the highest average intelligence fanbase (even more than classical) was sufjan stevens

>tchaikovsky
his average fan is probably dumber than the average Tool listener.

>>11921007
Obviously bait, but I'll bite I play the 1812 Overture
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1812_Overture
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbxgYlcNxE8

Written in E flat major, 3 flats, did Tool procure any music outside C, G, F, B flat, or D?

Lateralus, F
Schism, F
Sober, F
Aenema, G

I'm sorry, Tool is a great band, but you gotta understand what he is up against, Tool is Newton, Pyotr was Allan Turing

>>11921007
>dumber than the average Tool listener
No shit? Average Tool listener is a genius.

>>11920809
idk but I've never met a smart person that listens to EDM

>>11920809
Music is a waste of time and I only use it to drown out the dreadful sounds of reality.

>>11920821
I think this is probably the best response that you're going to get.
I don't think you should assume anyone old person who listens to classical has a high IQ but there's definitely a trend among intelligent people with certain genres or artists

>>11921037
>>11921007
There are two types of Tool listeners:
>general prog metal fans, usually above average intelligence; ask them what else they listen to
>specifically Tool fan millennials - because it was big enough to break into the mainstream in early 2000s, usually normie cattle and/or DUDEWEED stoners

>>11920809
i listen to gucci mane and pop smoke. my iq is 170. i dropped out of harvard to pursue a phd at cambridge. I smoke weed every day to prevent cancer.

>>11920821
>/mu/ had a good thread on this awhile ago
But /mu/ has terrible fucking taste
Most people there pretend to like '/mu/core', which is a bunch of bands that they hivemind-decided to be high iq and circlejerk themselves about it(like Swans or Death Grips). Go ask someone why they like XYZ, and I can guarantee most of them only do it because /mu/ or Fantano told them to like it.

>>11922059
Tools circular rhythm makes me describe it as "all sounds the same" really hate saying that, i hate when people say that but it's Tool for me. Never done a deep dive though.
>>11922069
/mu/ posters seem to come and go in stages. It's way different than it was 1,2,3, years etc. ago. What is even good and artful music in the last 5 years? I have no idea.
All i know is you can't bring up a single band without someone immediately judging you seems like.

There are a significant amount of rags to riches stories among rappers, suggesting they have IQ outstanding of their group

>>11922203
Can someone in the know elaborate on how you "make it" these days? Until about 20-30 years ago it seemed to be through turing. You honed your craft in dive bars and dances until people realized you had something good. How does it even work now? How does todays rapper or pop star go from unknown to known?

well there's almost certainly a positive correlation between instrumental music appreciation and IQ, be it post-rock, jazz, electronic music, metal, classical etc.

>>11922069
Mu goes in cycles of pretentiousness and anti-pretentious pretentiousness. Either jerking off contemporary classical music, or jerking off indie garbage.

>>11920809
You require high IQ to enjoy the following:

Why, and why those genres specifically?

>>11920809
I like Atmospheric and ambient music.

exclusively nigger music. i had some faggots estimate my IQ at around 250

>>11921028
>actually caring about key signatures
>thinking key signatures are a real thing
if you werent a total nigger you would realize that real musicians write in C major/A minor exclusively

>>11923650

Pic has some study linking SAT scores to musical taste.
>listening mainly metal and progressive, now and then classical and sometimes ambient

>>11922463
lots of structure, high level complexity and emergent patterns to pick up on, the artists have a lot more room to riff/build, wider array of sounds, higher demands on the listener to develop a fine ear.

Not him but I really enjoy classical as well, an example of one of my favourite songs

Where would be funk on this?

Learning music is expensive and usually just wealthy families care about this type of cultural education. So a person who likes classical music had probably better and proper education.

>>11922069
they had a thread on this topic with actual data and studies to back things up. it had nothing to do with their own conjectures, which would be a disaster.

>>11920809
>Dude I must be super high IQ because I listen to [genre of music]
Get fucked.

According to the mensa quiz online I possess an IQ of 118
Really music is the only thing I can say I have a passion for in life. I can listen to anything except reggaeton, which is absolute blasphemy.
The main stuff I listen to is the following:
>EDM
>Trap
>Brutal Death Metal
>Pop

>>11920809
I only like fast edgy catchy music that satisfies my caffeinated ADHD brain. Is that low IQ?

>>11924174
That depends by which fast edgy music you¡re referring to
>nightcore
Braindead retard

>Tool is Newton, Pyotr was Allan Turing
Newton was far, far more intelligent.

There exists joke.
There are, two types of Tool fans.
One smart, very very smart.
Other dumb, very very dumb.
Punch line:
Impossible to tell difference.

>>11920809
No, there isn't. People who boast about their music tastes are 100% pseuds and retards leading unfulfilled lives

What about classical music played in a rock/metal style?
