No bad taste. That chart was only made to stroke the egos of pretentious teenagers that listen to "real music".

>I've listened to artists who after listening to I thought to myself "Wow... loving this rubbish says a lot about someone and how much they got going on in their head." Could one's musical tastes say something about intelligence? How about SAT scores? Well, like any good scientist, I decided to see how well my personal experience matches reality.

there is such thing as bad taste
since music is art,there are some rules to it,not follwing the rules results in bad music
many might think that top 40 music is bad,but it consists of well structured songs
this makes them mediocre,with no innovation,but not bad
bad music is usually from artists who tried to innovate,but ended up making a huge mess instead

What is the point of this?

get out

The chart is very clearly made up of socioeconomic factors.

to me a bad taste in music is where you have not listened to enough music to decide whats good or bad. for example how can you say that pink floyd or the beatles are good if you haven't heard whats on fuckin radio 1 at the moment

>>69969633
yeah i can tell, the test should be based on the score relative to the school rating

why are pink floyd, bon jovi, bowie, u2, the dave mattews band and aerosmith rock and not classic rock?

With pleasure.

I was asking what the point of this is because I can't see what it should be used for.

now i think about it, what should this be used for? music is an art, not based on fact, i dont see why we should treat it as such

>1. Get a friend of yours to download, using Facebook, the ten most frequent "favorite music" at every college via that college's Network Statistics page on Facebook (manually -- as not to violate Facebook's ToS). These ten "favorite musics" are perhaps indicative of the overall intellectual milieu of that college.
>2. Download the average SAT/ACT score (from CollegeBoard) for students attending every college
>3. Presto! We have a correlation between musical tastes and dumbitude (smartitude too)!
