Does listening to Mozart while studying really lead to better grades? Has anyone tried this?

No, any kind of noise, including white noise, will tax your brain economy and leave less resources for the task at hand.

Mozart was a pretentious cunt
Beethoven is better
Bach is even better
Dvorak is GOAT

Really makes my brain ponder out yonder.

depends on your rationalisation/ interpretation. If you take it to mean you are responsible for your outcome then this could potentially lead to better results however I would argue it's probably negligible.

No. Intelligence is genetic, deal with it.

All my brothers are smart but I'm a brainlet, explain

It's not 100% genetic, but mostly. The environmental cause is just the noise in the system, it's not known what exactly it is, but we know what it isn't (education, parenting, Mozart). Some things are known: iodine deficiency and getting dropped on your head are bad. But really, you just got bad luck and there was more noise in the development of your intelligence than in your brothers. Oh, and it could be that you are a product of cuckolding.

Daily reminder that if you can listen to classical music while doing something else and are not sistematically distracted by it, you are not people

Debatable

Shit opinion, kill yourself immediately

Shit opinion, but you get to live another day

This guy gets it

Yes and no. I'll grant what you're saying is probably true under ideal conditions, but it's a question of relative stimulation. If music is blocking out something more distracting, then it's a net gain.

You guys need to take the tchiakovsky pill

Bad news, user.

I usually listen to mindless techno or rap music. there's nothing thought provoking about it, but it replaces inconsistent and distracting environmental noise with consistent and boring white noise, leaving me to focus on my studies.
