Do you think ones taste in music is a reflection of their intellectual capacity?

I feel like music has a lot to deal with society, environment, and ethnic group not so much IQ. Once a person gets out of their bubble they can explore other aspects of what makes a great song.
I bet you can find at least one Opera song a metal head likes or one hip hop song a opera person likes.

Music doesn't have a science when it comes to the listener. Just like how beauty is interrupted in many ways so is music.

Use of the laughing emoticon means you are a genius. Trust me on this.

Yes, and I actually enjoy a little Coldplay sometimes.

It's funny that's what he picked up on in my whole post. Maybe he's just proving my point.

Interesting question, but I feel like going against the grain with some of the beliefs in the answers I have read. There can also be fake intellectuals who listen to so-called upper-IQ music and Bubblegum Pop listeners who can seriously have a very high IQ - Facing a lot of stress, maybe one needs a major break from thinking a hell of a lot, and maybe something like that can relieve some tension, especially when it's performed by someone that's attractive to the listener in many cases. We have seen a lot of people go through that, always making us wonder why they listen to "that stuff".

I can fully understand some of the opinions, and judging from my real life surroundings I'm bound to agree, but only about 80-90 percent of the time. There's always room for "the exception to the rule."

I only think it affects their mental capacity when they listen to Happy Hardcore.
