Yeah, Megadeth, Metallica, Soundgarden, Days of the New,.. Couldn't it also be that the brain gets wired a certain way for music and it all spills out fresh and new at first. Then try to keep creating but the way their brain is wired means its going to be too much of the same?

Males and females seem to peak physically about 29, then begin to age. You can already see the difference by 35 (except Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman). It's not fair, but we spend most of our lives aging.

Okay. Tell that to Bon Jovi

Steve Jobs talked about this.

Yep Eminem.....mmlp .....then recovery .....fits the pattern

I wonder, is there a way to keep fluid intelligence at the forefront of your mind while still allowing your crystallized intelligence to grow? If there is, somebody please share it with The Strokes and Beck (‘Colors’ was mediocre city)

I wonder if it has as much to do with the marketability of young artists as it does real creativity. Of course Huey Lewis is an exception, and Bing Crosby didn’t write “white Christmas” but it became his biggest hit at 38. Older men have other priorities?

It may look that way if you focus in pop music, a young peoples' art form, but there are plenty of authors who write their best books late in life.

@PaulSimonMusic’s Graceland came at 46.

Go ahead and tell that to kanye

I live in the U.K., peak male brain activity for us usually happens between 20:00-23:00...during this period we can solve anything, well, we at least think we can. Merry Christmas.

Do we know how much IQ and creativity are linked? Is composition and performance the same parts of the brain that IQ maps onto?

What about female creativity?

They had to, since so many of them had an expiration date of 27 years.
