People who prefer classical music are trying to project an air of sophistication and intelligence but aren't any better at anything than anyone else
- Andrew_nenakhov 7y agoVarious studies [1] [2] seem to support the theory that people who prefer more complex music are generally more intelligent. You also probably missed the part where I said, 'from my experience'. I know several people who rose from the extreme poverty of Soviet Union rural villages and shitty rural schools to university professor positions (basically the highest position you could achieve in USSR without participating in the Communist party activities), and you know what, for some reason, every one of them acquired a taste for classical music at one point of their lives.
