Hilarious Psychology "Study" of Alternative Music

So, what happens when you play really weird amelodic music to fifth grades and ask them to draw their thoughts? Well, a group did that at a school in San Leandro, with some very interesting (and sometimes funny) results. I will warn you that some of these are bit more on the disturbing side of things than funny.

Just in case you've never heard Radiohead before, here's a link for that:

Just click on the "listen" icon next to the tracks. Try track #2 for some sense of their weirdness.

One can begin an interesting debate about musical abilities and perceptions of music changing throughout life (Some research has found that children are driven much more to major chords and strongly melodic music as opposed to bands that use minor chords and overhaul melodies with other "noise." Ever notice that children like oldies fairly early on in life more so than later? They're more traditionally melodic).

Anyway, just thought I'd put this out there as something fun to contemplate and read about.
