Considering every musical genre is at or below my final SAT score (1380/1600), it could only mean:

1. SAT's are not an indication of intelligence. 2. There is no correlation between type of music and SAT scores. 3. All music, including Beethoven, makes people dumber.

Author claims this is funny? What's funny? People that listen to Soca, Jazz, Hip-Hop, and Gospel make the dumbest students? Here's a correlation, which diaspora pioneered all four of those musical genres?

This is inaccurate. I love Lil Wayne. I don't remember the last time I enjoyed Beethoven.

It means no such thing. The fact that a correlation exists on average doesn't necessarily mean anything for an individual.
