I don't know if listening to music makes me smarter but I use it to help me work. I listen to prog/tribal/latin jazz when while I'm working and it helps me tune out everything (not only background sounds but also stray thoughts) which lets me focus on the task as hand. I've tried trance, techno, breaks and jungle too but I find it much harder to focus because my breathing gets faster and my pulse goes up. Could be the flashbacks of good times I've had at the guv.

One thing's for certain, it makes me lose control.

Therefore one can conclude that making music must make you insanely intelligent

House is not just a groove. House is a feeling. And when u feel it, you will understand... house music gets you up and makes you high...

smarter? maybe not. i think the more you expand into music the less biased and predudiced you become on topics that arent necessarily related to music. learning to give something a chance, allows you to later on give something else a chance, dispite whether or not its music related. IMO.

one thing for sure, EDM brings out the hidden energy in me. I'm sure many of you can relate to this too. Over the summer, I did a lot of running. On days when I had no mp3 player, I had trouble doing 10 laps around the football field. But on days when I had my player, with some uplifting trance blasting, I had no trouble getting 20 laps in a single go.

And thnx to EDM, it has kept me awake during every all-nighters I've pulled for studio

couldn't agree more. I just can't listen to EDM when I need to study/concentrate. I put on classical or jazz instead

Well some people become more biased and prejudiced towards other music genres when they expand into music.

I'm the fear-addicted, danger illustrated.

University of California San Diego released a neurobiopsychology study that showed the characteristics found in classical music stimulated more brain neural pathways than those found in any other type of music. This lead them to the conclusion that listening to classical will in fact increase the strength of these pathways which will increase the potential for expanded brain function beyond what one could hope to gain without listening to classical music.
Additionally anything new you can do to challenge your mind and give yourself a mental work out will increase the function of your brain by strengthening the connections the brain opperates on, hence making other opperations less difficult.

....so, yes.
