I agree with the metal thing, especially if they're into atmospheric metal.

Atmospheric metal is very mentally stimulating.

Actually, I think people who have a broader taste in music are the most intelligent, since they have a higher attention span.

I may be a metalhead, but I like a lot of different stuff, ambient, neoclassical, indie, punk, hardcore punk, Goth rock, progressive rock, neofolk, folk punk and so on.

Trying to equate music with intelligence is highly elitist and close minded. There's no link!

I have agree with this.

I listen to metal, but I'm positive that I'm not some sort of elite of intelligence because of it.

Also, I got to a pretty diverse school with dipshits in every musical clique.
