...with your rhythm stick
Hit me, hit me
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich
Hit me, hit me, hit me
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me slowly, hit me quick
Hit me, hit me, hit me

If you think of it.. it's all about copy&paste :)

I don't understand the question!

So I pulled the score for Beethoven's 4th Symphony off the shelf, cos that's got to be fairly smart right? And I thrashed it at chess, and I'm not even very good at chess. Didn't make a single move without help. And it couldn't explain quantum physics either. Dumb as a rock clearly, and this is supposedly the good stuff. So pop music must be stupider.

How to spot stoopid music for stoopid people:

Note: seeing as Sufjan Stevens is correlated with a higher SAT score (aside from Beethoven, who I suspect was cited by name by exactly one person in the, ahem, study), hipsters are clearly smarter than most. And people who claim to be fans of 'classical' generically probably only say it to try to sound smart. Fans of Lil Wayne may require additional explanation that uses shorter words.

Is there a study that proves that fans of Lil Wayne are any less intelligent than fans of Beethoven?

Seriously.
Ha ha suck it!

Yes, I'm aware correlation ≠ causation. The results are hilarity incarnate regardless of causality.
You can stop sending me email about this distinction. Thanks

Starting out with a domain called "music that makes you dumb" probably wasn't the wisest idea. I wonder how he feels about Lil Wayne.

From the comments: 'Maybe you should consider renaming it "Music that suggests you're a white kid who went to a good neighborhood" and "Music that suggests you're black and got screwed by our school system."'

Seems reasonable.

Smash Hits was very anal in printing accurate song lyrics back in the day, and they took a piss a bit when transcribing Jack your body by JM Silk

It's like four lines of huh, huh, and then jack jack, jack your body, jack jack, jack your body

Priceless.

Though to the last line he should have added: "...or that you're a white degenerate from the swamps of Mississipi."
