So you're saying that people who wear dark colored clothes, like gothic style tend to be more smarter?

If i'm right then I don't know about that. Must be just a coincidence on your part. Clothing is just clothing.

Because you know, with like the Metal and Hardcore scene, most people wear black, and I couldn't really say that most of em are smarter than other people.

Maybe it isn't that you hang out with them because they are dark, but you hang out with them because they are smart and you all happen to be dark? O.o

I see all kinds of intelligent people everywhere. In Cali I see most of the intelligence centered in the preps. Not like one or two smart people, you can find that number in almost any group of ten, but like a 2/3 majority of people stacking APs and scoring at least 2000s on SAT. Next are the athletes and band geeks on equal footing, although I know that the XC team is a bunch of retards when we're all hanging out XD.

In general, no I don't see this but I do see a lot of these people finding themselves to be really deep.

In England the only reason alternatives/goths are smarter is because everyone else is a fucktard chav who doesnt try to learn.

If you are so smart, how did you even come into this conclusion? I don't have an IQ of 160, but I have enough common sense to know your logic was flawed.

Though now that you've mentioned it, the smartest kids I know happen to be preppy.

In general, no I don't see this but I do see a lot of these people finding themselves to be really deep.

Deep... as puddle? They just think they're deep, but in reality they're no different from everyone else.

I like to think I'm pretty intelligent, and you will see me prancing around in all kinds of crazy-colored stuff.

I dont know, I don't think your point really stands :[

No, I understand that, I am sorry if I didn't make it clear enough. I know most of the time they are no smarter than anybody else (quite far behind some others I'd say) but will act superior because they think themselves to be.

Exactly! That makes more sense to me logically; the smarter you are, the more productive you are, and thus the more involved in school, extracurriculars, sports, etc... because you want to enrich yourself and tambien you want to get into a good college.

But then there are nerds, who aren't as involved, but are as smart in the classroom as preps, and also want to get into good colleges...

And the irresponsible smart people who go out and get stoned XDDD who are probably going to end up in a good college anyway.

Not really noticed it. I know smart 'goths' and smart 'non-goths'.

Haha yeah

Hmm, apparently someone did a survey of the music tastes of a load of genius kids and found that most of them listened to metal. And I read another research thingy that suggested that goffs were more likely to become brain surgeons and lawyers:

How death metal is the soundtrack of child prodigies - This Britain, UK - The Independent

I dunno though, I don't think it matters really. But I don't think getting a high paid job is enough compensation for looking like that as a teenager...

Haha, sick, now I'm gonna grow a dark curtain and listen to nothing but death. I'll be twice the man I was... too bad I got a haircut today so it will be twice as hard.

Well no actually, i haven't. Alot of my friends are goths and do really badly at school, i'm as far from goth as you can get and i have a really high IQ and grades, same with my other mates the goths tend to be far from the cleverest. Not saying all are but you can't judge someone's intelligence that way!

I don't see the comparison in the two because I wear clothes to fit my mood... so if I'm sad I wear dark clothes but if I feel happy I wear colorful clothes. I don't think my intelligence changes with my clothing, at least it shouldn't.

Opposite from what I see...

well in our school the people who either listen to rock or the such or the inbetweeners who listen to different stuff like indy and pop are generaly smarter than the "chavs"
