Study Shows That Lil Wayne Has The Dumbest Fans

 

According to a recent study, Lil Wayne fans are as dumb as a rock. If you enjoy Beyonce and T.I., you’re not too far behind. If you listen to Beethoven, you are practically a genius.

Data for the study was gathered from Facebook. The study’s author found kids from different colleges across the US, and compared their favorite music to the average SAT scores from those schools.

According to the results, Lil Wayne fans had the lowest SAT score at 876, giving his fans the dreaded title of “dumbest fans,” while fans bands like Radiohead, Counting Crows and singer Sufjan Stevens ranked in the 1200s. Fans of Beethoven ranked the highest at 1376.

A perfect SAT score is 1600.

The study called #Musicthatmakesyoudumb [sic] was conducted by famous American hacker Virgil Griffith, a 2007 University of Alabama graduate, who gives lectures at hacker conferences all across the Nation.

A previous study by Griffith called #Booksthatmakeyoudumb, listed “The Holy Bible” as one of the books read most often by individuals with low SAT scores, and “Lolita” as well as “100 Years of Solitude” on the highest end of the scale. The study’s popularity with his peers inspired Griffith to find out which bands and genres of music were popular with people with certain SAT scores.

Much like Griffith’s previous study Booksthatmakeyoudumb, which listed “The Holy Bible” as the one of the books read by those with low SAT scores, Gospel was the dumbest music genre with an average SAT score of 916.

Closely following Gospel music is Hip Hop and Jazz. Despite the high number of smarties who listen to Beethoven, classical music rated low, at a dim 976. Ironically, techno was the highest rated genre at 1056. In this study, most Individual groups rated much higher than genres.
