I noticed that too, and thought it was ridiculous.

They did it for Rock and Rap too.

To be fair, it's like that because they're just going by what people most frequently wrote under the "favorite music" section on Facebook. The people who made the graphs were just copying and pasting data, it's not like they picked the artists and genres themselves.

Five smart people put Beethoven down, I guarantee it. Who the hell puts Beethoven down on their favorite music list?

The weird thing is Beethoven is the only classical composer on there. You'd think if one made into the top ten a couple would have.

I'm telling you, you got a ****load of people putting down the ones towards the bottom/middle and then you've got four chess prodigies putting down some Beethoven.

I think what you really have here is Beethoven being a semi-popular choice at the most prestigious of the schools they pulled the data from and not making the list at all with any of the lesser schools.

Does that mean they're only using higher up schools' data or am I reading this weird?

No, I think it's variety of different types of colleges.

It's too late for me to understand things, sorry about that.
