It would seem that anyone who likes Beyonce Knowles is dumb, well, that’s according to a study in the US!

Admirers of Mrs Jay-Z singer have been emerged as the second dumbest music fans in a 'Music That Makes You Dumb' study in the US, which compared students SAT results with their favourite music.

It was US rapper Lil Wayne whose fans scored a lower average in their SAT tests according to the poll, while classical fans scored higher than anyone else, whilst indie boys and girls were found to have above average intelligence with fans of bands like Radiohead, Counting Crows and U2 scoring highly in their SATs.

Virgil Griffin, the creator of the 'Music That Makes You Dumb' study and its accompanying website, said: "I've listened to artists and afterwards thought to myself, 'Wow... loving this rubbish says a lot about someone and how much they've got going on in their head.'

Although the results put mainly urban artists at the bottom, fans of rock bands such as Aerosmith, Nickelback and The Used all scored low in the graph; however, that said, look at me, I love that stuff.

Okay, point taken.
