Default Country music leads to higher suicide rates



I knew there must be a reason I hate country music.

Quote:
The results of a multiple regression analysis of 49 metropolitan areas show that the greater the airtime devoted to country music, the greater the white suicide rate. The effect is independent of divorce, southernness, poverty, and gun availability. The existence of a country music subculture is thought to reinforce the link between country music and suicide. Our model explains 51% of the variance in urban white suicide rates." The paper can be found

Some of the other nine were good too.

Techno Music increases the number of synthetic drugs you do
and Heavy Metal the number of bloody skulls you own.
