Later in life, do you think there is a difference between a child who listened to classical music when they were young and a child who listened to mumble rap?
Discussion
Depends on how else they were brought up, but yes definitely could have affect.
Pedophile
Definitely
Yes, but when the classical music is associated with Public Radio is not much better.
Yes.
Already been proven with plants.
Yes
110%
One type encourages creativity, imagination, thought, letting multiple sounds interest you. Where the other, take the negative connotation / lyrics out of it is simply the dumbest form of music. musically weak, and lyrically infantile.
š¤ probably
Idk
Maybe itās best to be well rounded with a lot of different types of music, exposure to it allā¦.
And let the child decide what type of music they prefer?
I fall in that camp letting my kid discover what she likes instead of pushing a certain thing on herā¦
Huge difference.
My kids listened to classical music early. My 7-year-old doesn't seem to hear certain music as "bad" when it doesn't have enough energy, or isn't quick in tempo. I remember being very musically picky as a kid, and they aren't.
The only music my kids don't like is rap. š¤·
Would you rather expose your child to a 1000 hours of classical music or a 1000 hours of mumble rap? You will come to the right conclusion.
One of them would appreciate the talent required to create beautiful music, and the other would try to talk their friends into stealing something from the local convenience store
Probably children who listen to classical or jazz music (richer in rhythms, harmonies, and melodies) tend to develop greater musical sensitivity, greater cultural flexibility, and greater aesthetic appreciation.
Iām not 100% sure at all, but I have to give it a hard yes
If so, itās probably more a reflection on the type of parents who listen to classical music versus parents who listen to mumble rap.
Dont believe the hype!
Keep it real.
Rap all the way. š¤£ š
I would imagine getting a child used to the complexity of notes within classical music would help to build more neurons, but that's speculation.
Correlation but not causation. Did the child who listened to classical music also happen to read more and engage in more critical thinking?
probably
Jazz is where itās at!
How not?
likely, but it might not even be due to the music but the neural composition that predisposes them to choose to listen to that type of music. Same would likely apply if they were born of parents who expose them to that kind of music.
Those are two different types of parents. Maybe that is why it makes a difference. lol
yes. there has been a case study already that the type of music that we listen can affect our experience esp a baby in the womb. each note represents different frequency that can create positive or negative experience. āŗļø
Each note individually or in terms of intervals and harmony? What humans tend to find most satisfying is music with simple ratios (common in all forms across the world), at least in the short term. The more complex the ratio between the notes, the more we tend to perceive as noise.
Great composers know how to push the listener, develop and keep that tension and releasing for emotional impact. Exposure to a wide range of ratios is subliminal maths. Most pop music tends not to venture into these territories (and in fact has got ever simpler since the 1950s).
To the OP, Iād say introducing more complex rhythms and harmonies would be a very good idea. Doesnāt have to be as binary as classical vs mumble though.
I grew up listening to lots of jazz and prog thanks to my dad but still love Wu Tangā¦
I am not a music expert š¬ I can guess on how each note are put together āŗļø
Iām not a music theory expert but have a good understanding of some of the physics as a sound engineer. Itās a fascinating subject. Every living thing vibrates and it obviously affects us in numerous ways, music being the most obvious in that it can alter or enhance mood just by listening.
Thereās also some stuff about frequencies written about that just doesnāt hold weight. Thereās a theory about western tuning, that 432Hz is more in tune with the universe than the standard 440Hz. Itās interesting but when you look into the maths it just doesnāt stack up so Iām both interested and wary on theories around frequencies (Iāve also experimented with some of these in music Iāve made over the years).
Iām open minded on the subject, I think thereās a lot we donāt know about how vibrations affect us and the world around us. Fascinating subject!
Absolutely. I speak from experience. I was a kid in the past.
I'm sure there will be difference.
Mumble rap is fiat, classical music is Bitcoin.
Absolutely. There is such thing as music IQ; it shapes you.

Do you think there is a difference between a person that comes to btc in 2025 or 2026? Maybe 2025 is a time for classical and 2026 is the time for mumbled rap as citadels crumble.

my son listens to mumble rap .. I think they call it "plug".
Classical music is interesting but can get annoying after a while.
I think it does. Classical music will lead to cognitively superiority. But I also think that a lot of rap music is also a powerful subconscious affirmation; depending on the artist you hear a lot about crime or money ā if you listen to rap that is only about crime, then you'll probably end up with less-defined ethics and perhaps as a criminal. But rap about money, wealth, beautiful girls will make it more likely that you actually strive and have those things.
yes x1000
My daughters play violin and cello, and both of them dance ballet. No mumble rap in my household.
I can tell you that a child who grew up on dubstep cannot be tamed lol. So thereās that
Better even, enable your kid to not just passively listen/consume (any) music but get them to learn an instrument.
This opens up worlds. Po(hard)W, team playing, listening to other instruments (people) in their team; it connects synapses in their brain, other people donāt develop; gets them to find (and accept) their earned place in a band/ensemble/orchestra - music is a language, nuances are key, it teaches them to actively listen /respond. They can develop a new kind of creativity, problem solving, patience, widens the horizon, history, societies,ā¦
And so much more. š„
