I've never met anyone who likes classic music before, definitely not anyone my age. I've been seeing a guy the past month or so who seems very mature and thoughtful, and he started listening to classical music yesterday when we were in the car. I didn't know what to think, if he was joking or serious. He said he listens to it regularly. He asked me if I listen to it, and I just had to say no. It made me feel really stupid for not knowing anything about it. It got me thinking, do smart people listen to classical music? Is my boyfriend smart? Please help me.
I went through a classical music phase, after taking a music appreciation class in college and I still listen to it from time to time. I also enjoy listening to a style of jazz, some of which could be called classical music. I am a regular guy and not exceptionally smart at least in an IQ way. I think most people who listen to classical music actually are smarter than average simply because they tend to be more educated and perhaps more intellectual.
