Beyonce fans are officially stupid – a scientist says so!

Now, we tried to stop judging people on their music taste around about the time we left sixth form college, but some new research has brought up some very interesting findings… apparently fans of Beyonce, Jay Z and Justin Timberlake are officially not very bright. According to research carried out by PhD student Virgil Griffiths, there’s a correspondence between low IQs and a liking for pop and R&B, with Beyonce fans doing particularly badly on school and college tests. Fans of U2 and Radiohead (so yes, that includes Miley Cyrus...) are among the most intelligent when it comes to mainstream chart acts, although classical music fans are even brainier. Fans of rapper Lil Wayne are supposedly the dimmest of them all, according to the findings on Virgil’s website Music That Makes You Dumb. So, do you think there’s any truth in all this, and are you insulted or delighted by the results?
