In collaboration with ChatGPT I researched which genres result in the most reproductive success, both of the people who make it and the people who listen to it, here are the results
1. Hip-Hop/Rap, 5 stars, Sexually dominant, high-fertility artists & fans
2. Country, 3 Stars, Strong family values, moderate-high fertility
3. Classic Rock, 3 stars, Historically strong, declining now
4. Pop, 2 stars, Flashy, sexy — but artists often don’t have many kids
5. Indie/Alt, 1 stars, Appeals to low-fertility elites
6. Classical/Jazz, 1 star, High status, low reproduction
Final Insight
If you’re looking at music not as art, but as an evolutionary fitness signal, then:
Hip-hop/rap is the most reproductively successful genre in modern Western society.
It glorifies the traits that evolution rewards: confidence, dominance, sexual availability, and actual reproduction.
Meanwhile, genres that appeal to the cerebral, sensitive, or disciplined — traits we culturally admire — often fail to reproduce, literally.
