wait, so Ralph Wiggum does their interior monologue?
awkwardness:
Now every time I read their inner monologues I'll hear the voices of Fred Tatasciore and Kevin Michael Richardson...those two are the go-to for deep voiced voiceover actors in my head

My brain immeditely went to the narrator from The Stanley Parable for some weird reason.
Datalore:
--- Quote ---QC used to have a lot more music humor and references. I missed out on a lot of those, but I don't feel like it really diminished my enjoyment of the comic or made me feel like it was going in an obtuse direction. Agree to disagree. :)
(Edited for clarity.)

Yeah, same. Maybe it's because I'm younger than the (apparent?) typical forum crowd, but I grew up with QC and the most recent couple years have been the strips I relate with the most. Everything I ever learned about Indie music (or music in general) came from this comic, and of all of that the only thing that stuck through the years was that "Panda panda panda panda pan-- PANDA" song.
Just wasn't [and isn't] an area of interest for me, but I stuck around because the characters were fun and they clicked with my kiddo internet edgelord brain, and they grew at roughly the same rate I did.
Now we have a more diverse cast, and they're starting to talk increasingly about gaming (including V-tubing, of all things) and for once I feel like I'm actually the target audience for the jokes and references. I used to just skim over the last panel because it was usually a punchline that relied on a reference I was 10-20 years too late for. So I wasn't really ever expecting to be in the "gets the jokes" demographic of the readership, but hey! Pleasant surprises do happen.
That said, gaining something you never expected and then potentially losing it is a very different experience from losing something you've always had and had potentially taken for granted. So I can understand how leaving the "gets the jokes" demographic can feel like a bummer and infringe pretty critically on one's enjoyment.

Good to see the requisite hipster backlash against IPAs is covered.
