    thet is interestin', but not true. Pearl Jam fans is mighty intellyjunt. :lol:

    j/k
    It is cool to see how other bands' fans are rated. I have to dispute Linkin Park and Phish fans being smarter than us, though.

    Isn't a 1076 an average score?

    Considering the article itself states that, "most bands fit within the 1000 to 1150 score range," I'd say yes, 1076 is an average score. Not amongst the dumbest.

    I'd just like to point out to all those that gave me such shit... Oasis fans are smarter than PJ fans.

    Also not remotely surprised that Tool fans, despite their pretensions, are no better than average.

    well..i guess PJ fans are dumb...if they believe this bullshit "study"...

    and the fact that Oasis even has any fans is all the proof you need that there are stupid people on this planet..

    Spoken like a good creationist... facts are silly things right? ;)

    At least PJ fans fared better than DMB fans on there.

    Looks like PJ fans are of average intelligence. Probably close to the truth.

    It took me a week to figure out how to get my sig to appear in my posts on the new board.

    When I go to EBay and see the prices some people will spend on Pearl Jam stuff... I tend to agree.

    you needed this chart to tell you that? really? have you been to a pearl jam show? the "bro" factor is through the roof (plus the frat boys bringing their sorority counterparts which in turn diminishes the level of intelligence in the arenas exponentially).

    -ralph wiggum, folks...when i saw this thread that was the exact quote that popped into my head... and you sir, suck for beating me to that quote :lol:

    Anyone who uses this "study" to justify the superiority of their musical tastes is an idiot, and I say this as both a fan of Pearl Jam, Lil Wayne and reggae (all under the smartness threshold). As usual, this whole thing is taken out of context. There is absolutely no correlation between musical taste and intelligence offered in the study. Rather, it's more indicative of how preposterous and skewed statistical results can often be. Griffith used Facebook data and plotted it against SAT scores. Numerous hidden or confounding variables could account for the results.

    No offense to the OP, but that's probably the dumbest things I've seen on here. I believe that as a majority, PJ fans have well above-average intelligence and tend to be politically and socially involved.
