A recent article published in the United Kingdom's Guardian claims metal is the chosen form of music for intellectuals. The article supports this claim based on a study showing the National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth lists heavy metal as its favorite form of music.
The National Academy for Gifted and Talented Youth is, “a body of 120,000 students which represents the top 5% of academic achievement” in Britain.
