Tiesitkö, että metallimusiikki (heavy rock, raskas rokki) on älykkäiden ihmisten suosiossa?

The National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth (NAGY) Study (2007)

A famous survey conducted by researchers at the University of Warwick (UK) analyzed the music preferences of over 120,000 gifted students representing the top 5% of academic achievement. Researchers were surprised to find that heavy metal was highly rated by these intellectually gifted youths. Rather than using music to fuel aggression, these bright students used heavy, emotionally charged metal as a means of catharsis to purge negativity and escape the immense pressures of being "gifted".
