Of course there are smart people that listen to all kinds of music.
I'm not shocked because I used hang out and listen to metal with the debate team and chess club in school. Bunch of dorks at school, but we did enjoy some pretty good music.

EDIT: "Mr Cadwallader then held an online discussion involving 19 members of the academy, 17 of whom were heavy metal fans. They spoke of listening to bands including System of a Down, Slipknot, Tool, Dragon Force, Forward Russia and In Flames when they were in a bad mood and using it to work off frustrations and anger."

I'm sorry, i thought they meant metal
:rofl: I didn't finish reading the article.

one thing that study neglects. getting good grades does not mean someone is smart; just that they know how to repeat the 'right' answer. i think the common link is social alienation rather than academic ability.

since when the **** is brian may or queen 'metal'?

There was a point where heavy metal fans represented a demographic of people who's mere existence threatened to pollute the gene pool with future convenience store clerks and turn the oxygen we breathe into a precious commodity( See Judas Priest's lawsuit for further evidence of this), However the genre has become signifigantly more intelligent

Scary part is that is EXTREMELY close to the truth...lol.

Smart adolescents, or teens jaded and outcast in society?

Yeah. Have you listened to Slipknot? Sure, they're a sh1te band, but "less aggressive"? They're probably one of the most aggressive bands I've ever HEARD in ANY genre. WAY WAY more aggressive and furious than a lot of black metal I've been told to check out.

that's a great one and as awesome as that self titled disc is, i really think their 'disco volante' album is the pinnacle of that group's chaotic intensity, and a level of intensity a group like slipknot can only perpetually try to attain. the 'secret' song in the middle of the disc is gold hehe

i still like their 'california' album the best though.
