    Like there was for a while the whole “Play Mozart/Beethoven to your kid in the womb and they’ll be smarter” and shit - there’s no way everyone universally likes classical music. I know several older people who don’t enjoy music at all, which just seems bizarre.

    It’s not like every kids gonna pop out and be like “That Mozart’s Requiem was some shit, man! Play it again!”.

      It’s also a fucking dumb approach to making the kid smart anyways. You don’t need a high iq to appreciate classical music, and there is nothing inherently intelligent about listening to music

        There is evidence listening to music in your native language is good for language development. Probably any pop music is more educational than classical music to a baby.

        Yeah well dumb people will try dumb ways to magically make their dumb kids smart. Wicked smaht. We played them Mozart 24/7 so they’d be smaht and look at him. So smaht. And the kid grows up to be an insomniac serial killer who grew dissecting any animals they got their hands on.

      Music wasn’t always so easily accessible as it is now. I think really only the radio was something everyone would have access to. If you had vinyl, CDs etc then you were at least somewhat musically inclined and some folks would just not be and never really get into it or invest in getting their own music. Not that they would literally never hear or listen to music but it wasn’t one of their hobbies. Compared to today where we all have access to music on demand and it would be weird if you don’t have at least some preferences or something.
