Indie Elitism
Scandanavian War Machine:

--- 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.

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]

you got it backwards. if that phrase makes sense, then you are "holier than thou" and not a good person. if that phrase seems stupid to you, then you are a chill person.
hope that makes more sense

--- Quote ---my post wasn't a joke as such. it was supposed to be amusing but the concept itself is fairly serious.
…maybe you disagree with specific points sir. if so, write them down and we could have a discussion about it. or you can pm me if you don't want to write it down here.

The argument itself is legitimate enough, I suppose. I just found it reasonably ironic that a post about elitism began with such blatant namedropping.
Jedit:
--- Quote from: karl gambolputty... ---Except that girls seem to be a lot more secure with their indie endowment (indowment?) than dudes. That being said, I'm indie hung like an indie horse.

Amateur. I do the indie pole vault with what God gave me, and buy my indie socks in threes.
(Yes, I am aware that arguing about how elite one's elitism is is ironic. That's kind of the point.)
El Opium:
I have a collection of punk rock and techno on 78. My old-timey music doesn't even exist anymore so I keep it in the collective unconscious. My loft is at the top of the tower of babel and my front door is so pretenscious that it says "Knock" in a sarcastic tone two seconds before you rap on it. I once found some genuine old time Americana but in order to escape gentrification the guy lived in the middle of a river. Soon as he saw me he croaked and floated away never to be seen again though they did find some wax-cylinders when they dredged the bay that year.
Synchronicity:

Basically. I think that's actually a pretty good comparison. (But who am I to talk, seeing as I actually enjoy some punk.)
