So let's get to the bottom of this...
Why are girls by and large just not really into music at all?

They can't identify with it at a spiritual level.

It's just another superficial fashion choice for them to appropriate.

...

because majority of girls never experience isolation. where nobody wants to hang out with them or nobody challenges their opinions. especially in america where every girl gets told they're a special princess. can't blame them

guys are like that also tbqh

Post nudes of the brunette in the blue bottoms and I'll tell you

...

shit taste

Most people aren't really into music at all, period. At least not on the level of people browsing this board. That said, I've personally encountered way more girls using music (or any other form of artistic expression) as an accessory of sorts. I wouldn't want to venture a guess as to why that is, though.

Probably because the arts as a whole were considered women's domain for a very long time until recently. Men went to work while women stayed home and took piano lessons, along with other things. That's my guess.

...

...

nigga what are you doing

...

My theory would be that girls are not hardwired to do much beyond securing a mate / the best possible genes they can. So, everything they do is about their appearance and the image of themselves that they want to project. It's men who do the creating and destroying (whether that's building things, music, art, furthering society etc). Women are just a womb with legs and tits

That's fucking awful, have you ever met a woman?

this thread is embarrassing

Might be part of it, I suppose, although pretty much any artform has historically been dominated by men.

It's a weird thing, really, I've seen so many girls taking their taste in music and extrapolating it into some kind of identity in a way I've never seen a guy do. Maybe this is also why most of the girls I know who take music seriously that way tend to stick to the music they started out listening to. In my experience, guys are far more prone to genre-hopping, changing their minds about albums and artists and generally being more open-minded.

WOW there are a lot of foreveralone faggots in this thread

...

The simple answer is that this isn't true. Many of the people I know with the "best" music taste are women, including my fiancee, and I know an awful lot of men with shocking taste.

Women just don't seem to have the fanaticism that men do. Basically, I think women grow up more.

Keep in mind you're probably forgetting a lot of male ones who you don't take notice of. I personally knew way more male metalheads than any other sort of music fan during school.

you guys kidding me? go to a festival some time

Can you honestly say I'm wrong?

...

you sound like a pussywhipped fag 2bh

yeah dude

Yes, I can say with 100% certainty that you are completely wrong, and a fucking misogynist moron.

Yeah, I'm aware that I'm generalizing purely based on my own experiences, which admittedly are very limited. It's still something that's held true for me ever since I started paying attention to it.

Lol if you think girls go to festivals for the music. They go to take photos to put on their social media, drink / drugs, and of course hook up with Chads

...

MODS AREN'T DOING THEIR JOBS

Because I think women are equal to men? You sound like a homophobic, sexist, braindead Donald Trump supporter.

this is correct. dudes in this thread only have met basic bitches

lol /r9k/

>shitposters shitposting shitposters

>I think women are equal to men
They aren't. They aren't equal at a biological level which makes them unequal at a behavioral and psychological level. Nice projection, though

Equal in what way? Biologically? Because that's bullocks. Socially? Because that's bullocks.

Women and men are different, and that's okay. Denying it is denying science.

I need more of this guy !

...

Equality is not the same as identical. Of course women are different, Saying things like "Women are just a womb with legs and tits" is fucking awful, they're as complex and intelligent as we are, they just don't necessarily sit around discussing Kid A online.

>Women and men are different, and that's okay.
>that's okay

That's bullocks.

2, 3, 1, 6, 4, 5

6 might move up one if i could see her bod tbqhhh

>they're as complex and intelligent as we are

Give a source for this claim that uses a socially meaningful, empirically valid definition of intelligence and complexity.

"As complex and intelligent as we are"
Just fucking lol

if you think this is true, you don't know many girls.

...

But that's not what you said. And what you quoted wasn't even part of the conversation.

It's 2016, how am I having this conversation!?

telegraph.co.uk/education/educationnews/9401241/IQ-tests-women-score-higher-than-men.html

Have you travelled from the 18th Century?

...

You're definitely wrong. Real life is not Sup Forums.

different brain structure. It's a fact that women think a little bit differently than men, so I guess their perspective on music is affected.

literally everyone in this thread is an asshole, me too

lol that's just one article most specialists actually believe the opposite

>the telegraph
>article written by a 20-something who's twitter feed is all about the issue of overly sexualized bra's and helping all-female indie bands find an audience
>study conducted by political studies professor
>sample size not mentioned
>methodology not mentioned
>no link to anything relating to the study provided whatsoever, actually

I'm just going to have to take their word for it, am I?

>specialists
try harder

do we need to have this thread every other day?

i'm not saying there isn't potentially interesting discussion to be had about the biological and psychological differences between men and women, and the effect that has on the way they perceive music. i just don't think that's going to happen on Sup Forums's music board. these threads are just an excuse for fedora-tipping MRA cunts and bitter virgins to huddle together in their echo chamber and fellate one another over how "women just don't GET music like us men, maaan"

it's utterly embarrassnig, go to /r9k/ with this shit or sort yourselves the fuck out

Which speciailists are these? Because I just sent this page to my cousin, who is a Neurologist, and he said you're all fucking idiots.

I have met thousands of girls in my lifetime. I can think of a handful that actually liked music. Compare that to guts, where it's more of a 50/50 split

>all those buzzwords
First day off the boat Eyy?

"A 2004 meta-analysis by Richard Lynn and Paul Irwing published in 2005 found that the mean IQ of men exceeded that of women by up to 5 points on the Raven's Progressive Matrices test.[8][38] Lynn's findings were debated in a series of articles for Nature.[10][11] Jackson and Philipe Rushton found males aged 17–18 years had average of 3.63 IQ points in excess of their female equivalents on the Scholastic Assessment Test.[12] Irwing (2012) found a 3-point IQ advantage for males in g from subjects aged 16–89 in the United States on the WAIS III test favouring men on the information, arithmetic and symbol search and favoring women on the processing speed[39] A 2005 study by Ian Deary, Paul Irwing, Geoff Der, and Timothy Bates, focusing on the ASVAB showed a significantly higher variance in male scores, resulting in more than twice as many men as women scoring in the top 2%. The study also found a very small (d' ≈ 0.07, less than 7%, of a standard deviation) average male advantage in g on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery test.[17] Another study with Richard Lynn conducted in Sudan found 16-18 year old males scored 5 points higher on the Raven's Progressive Matrices.[40] Another study by researcher Jianghong Liu found also found 3 points higher male scores on the WISC which is the children version of the WAIS III. He explained that greater male performance on items such as Picture Arrangement, Object Assembly, Picture Completion and Block Design are because they measure visual–spatial abilities in which males typically perform better than females."

It's a very controversial topic, but the fact is most research points to males having superior IQ

For real, some of these responses really make me question what the fuck I'm doing on this board

oh, by the way, she's usually writing consumer stories for the Sun, but just happened to pop in just in time to tell the telegraph's readers how women are totally superior to men and just didn't realize it because they were keeping their heads down for some reason?

it's amazing how you idiots keep falling for this thread even though it's posted every day

*guys

Yes, but this new research supposedly tells a different story. If only I could actually find it anywhere.....................................................

...

Wow, you're right! It's literally that simple!!!

your knee-jerk reactions of "MRA" and "fedora" tells way more about your character. liberals simply can't accept any debate that puts their bizarre notions of an equal, genderless, formless world into question

Could you just dump all the images you have saved on your hard drive somewhere? The more I watch you dump this stuff, the more of it I want

lmao try meeting cooler girls next time dweeb

>i'm not saying there isn't potentially interesting discussion to be had about the biological and psychological differences between men and women, and the effect that has on the way they perceive music
>genderless, formless

you're literally a moron

don't be rude, that's not constructive to this conversation

nah m8 it's just that we'll never be able to quantify those differences in any meaningful way, so there's no point to treat people differently (since intra-sex differences are much larger than inter-sex differences).

>these threads are just an excuse for fedora-tipping MRA cunts and bitter virgins to huddle together in their echo chamber and fellate one another over how "women just don't GET music like us men, maaan"

you're literally a pissed off liberal babby projecting out of your arse

Most girls' music taste does not go beyond top 40 pop music. Deep down you know this is true

And most men are sat around listening to Autechre? Most people, men and women, are fucking idiots.

I think you're all wrong.

I think the explanation is this: normies don't get heavily invested in finding obscure music, either male of female. Typically, the people who are not normies experience some level of social disconnect (we'll call the non-normies "outsiders"). To get really invested and obsessive about music, you need to spend a lot of time alone, and the people who feel inclined to do this and act in such a solitary way are outsiders.
Women are wired to be more social than males. They're more socially intelligent, and less wired to focus on a single task than multitask. This means there are way fewer female outsiders than male outsiders.
Because there are more male outsiders, and some percentage of those outsiders are what I'll call "music geeks", it means they'll far outnumber the female outsiders, and by extension female music geeks.

But if you think there are no girls with good taste you're a retard.

Pro-tip: find out how many artsy girls you know are into Mazzy Star. The answer may surprise you. And you can be sure they're not claiming to like a feminine, out-of-style band like that for a guy or for appearances.

What about your fiancee's son's taste?

The word is bollocks please stop saying bullocks it's embarrassing

nope it's
you dont have to be a non normo to like good music.

but it is...

strawman much, you absolute cunt?

>genderless

I think the people who would argue against an equal (in opportunity) world are a minority so small as to be virtually non-existent and I'm with you there, but why would you even want this? What would be the benefit of denying obvious biological differences which affect our basic psychology and subsequently our behavior? If you want to add a gender, go ahead, it doesn't affect me but if it's important to so many people then who am I to argue? What's your beef with nature, though?

>literally blind to reality.

>It's 2016
>using current year as an argument
haha you must be pulling our strings m8

Holy fuck people on Sup Forums can be so clueless about women.

3 points higher on IQ is noise. That difference wouldn't reach statistical significance by any metric on a test where the sd is 15.

Best responses in the thread

I'm with you on that

Correct answer

my wife listens to stand up comedy

well fuck off then, no-one's forcing you to be here

>someone disagrees with me
>TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP
you guys are the worst

...

>find out how many artsy girls you know are into Mazzy Star

>who?
>oh yeah haha I love them! fade into you, the list could go on :)

wew

lmao have you even met the girls that go to festivals?

it's basically what says

I am a woman and I am triggered

I think it's funny most people arguing on either side here are Art Students who did High School science at most and have no idea about stats.

Regards, Med Student.

any time, m'lady

this is literally true of 80%+ of Sup Forums. Chart, last.fm and RYM threads confirm that

I'm in international relations, but I've taken a bunch of courses in psychology, sociology, and statistics for the concentration, and can't really see why you'd have learned more about female psychology when most of what you're studying is physiology and [non-neurological] biology. But have fun with your superiority complex.

I think it is most likely a mixture of many different arguments in this thread. We can all agree that the majority of the population has either pleb music taste or no interest in music at all, regardless of gender. But, women who have more out of the ordinary tastes are more afraid of being judged by other women. Men on the other hand keep their music tastes to themselves in fear of being deemed too artsy or feminine. This is all caused by the gender roles society has imposed upon everyone that say that the arts are for women and homosexuals only. Now to my second point, women who have music taste that only slightly do not conform to the societal norms ( the omg, so indie grills) use that as a peice of fashion to show everyone how different they are. "Oh, look at me I listen to twenty one pilots, artic monkeys and imagine dragons, I'm so fucking indie". This how ever still only covers a small percentage of the female population.
>Tl;dr.
>Women fall into three categories. Pleb to no taste, omg so indie and patrician. But so do men so could we please move on and find a different subject to talk about
