None of my intelligent (130+ IQ) friends listen to music regularly. They only listen selectively and rarely e.g. at a fashion event or a classical piece, but almost never listen spontaneously in their own time.

This has been a long term consistent observation, but today confirmation came. A new meta-analysis showed time listening to music per day increases exponentially with lower IQ, with drop off to near 0 minutes at 145+.

Music is mostly appealing as a way to fill an otherwise vacant mind that has no interesting thoughts and minimal goal-directed behavior. Intelligent people find stimulation from thinking about problems and doing things, not from marinading in vaguely pleasant sounds like a soggy potato sitting in oil in a dirty oven tray.
