Is this a joke? I hope it's a joke.
Rubby:
--- Quote from: Scandanavian War Machine ---music is good. the people that make, listen to, and produce it....aren't.
*gasp*
if this makes sense to you then you are an elitist.
if it doesnt...then you are good people.

You're pointing the finger at yourself by that logic.
(I was really hoping I could only read this topic).

--- Quote from: Spinless ---It's an ego thing, like all those guys who can play guitar who think it makes them cool.
Then they try to show off and people laugh at them because they're crap.
"Yeah! I can totally pay the trooper! You know, Maiden? ROCK!"
*Downs an alcopop, nearly throws it all back up*
"EUGH! I mean...YEAH! Gimme nuther."
"Hey, why don't you play 'the trooper for us?"
"Uhhh...sure..."
*Butchers one or two notes that happen to be somewhere in the main riff for 'the trooper'*
"That was crap."
"Yeah...I can play it perfectly when there's nobody else around. You can sorta hear it, it's because of the amp. Yeah, the amp..."
Now, this may or may not be based on a guy I knew who thought he was a great guitarist but in actual fact, was crap.

Oh man, do I have stories about people like this.
And yeah, as Beat mouse said, they could be sitting in a coffeehouse discussing the parallels between Hitler's Germany and America today and be all like, "OH MAN WE'RE BEING OPPRESSED".

This intrigues me mathematically.
People who make, listen and produce music = just about everybody
By definition [People who this makes sense to] is a subset of [everybody]
So if [People who this makes sense to] = [good people]
then
[good people] = [people who realize they are not good]

FeralCats:
--- Quote from: beat mouse ---On the contrary I find it much more of a retard phenomenon. Atleast they're not trying to sound intelligible by having political conversations.

Frequently, though, people tend to dabble in both, being equally stupid.
