Smart and heavy go together…

…and I’m not talking about the weight. ;-)

Obviously, someone at Britain’s National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth has decided to label heavy metal as “a favoured music of 11-19 year olds with lower self-esteem than their peers.” Well, I beg to be the counter-example when it comes to both age, and low self-esteem. :-D

Of course, heavy metal doesn’t hesitate, and strikes right back with a widely reported study of pure power and steel, which found out that heavy metal is, in fact, the “music of choice for today’s brightest youngsters”.

So many smart people! :-D There is hope for the humankind, after all…

Naturally, we knew this already – but it’s finally official! One thing remains uncertain to me, though… do we listen to heavy metal because we are smart, or are we smart because we listen to heavy metal? :-D

Up the irons!


PS: I have decided to increase the width of my content column by 50 %, so that you don’t have to scroll so much, and photos have more horizontal space – 400px really wasn’t enough.

    We listen heavy metal világos, therefore we are smart and clever of steel. :-)

    the increace of the column width was really a good idea which i appreciate, together with my mouse and my fingers.
    ehm… and what about the rest of us, who don’t listen to heavy-or-any-other-kind-of metal, and are smart, too? you surely couldn’t have meant that for the improvement of my drawing and designing skills i should listen to that shrieks and banging ;))
    but yes, i must admit that you’re probably the last person in the world whom i would characterize as with low self-esteem :DDD

    But you undoubtedly are not as smart of steel as we are … Look, scientists of steel say so! :-)
