Heavy Metal was invented in the Iro... Ok, I'll stop now.

 

Class-ical was an educational pursuit.

 

The trousers had a wide flare at the bottom.
The hair was long and covered the ears.
The bags were mostly made of leather.
Some shoes had high heels.

 

Because it's obviously true.

 

Synth Britannia Documentary

Great documentary on the development of electronic music in England. Enjoy all the out of this world footage from OMD, Depeche Mode, The Normal, Human League, Cabaret Voltaire and super interesting interviews with members from those bands.

Before Gary Numan: How Synth-Pop Became Synth-Pop

A vision of the future that never properly arrived, Synth-pop was an ever present staple of the British charts in the early 1980s. A canny fusion of pop-suss and technological invention, its height reflected the increased affordability of commercial synthesizers from the late 1970s onward. But that doesn’t mean that the likes of The Human League, Ultravox, OMD and Gary Numan were the first to splice synths and pop together. So who were the pioneers? What were the essential steps along the way, the key tracks and influencers? And how did we get to the point where “Are “Friends” Electric” got to number one? This is how Synth-pop became Synth-pop.

It's not that "ehh the youngins don't like it when we say it", it's just demonstrably false. Survivorship bias up the wazoo.

 

You people keep using this word, but I don't think you know what it means. lol.

 

You think it was because you've been deluded with Survivorship bias. Good day.

 

This is clearly a scientifically and academically sound method and not biased in any way.....NOT

Well I tried your little test and actually I found I liked all the music pretty much the same, and actually preferred some of the newer releases in the genre. So...nice try I guess?

 

In 50 years, AI will scan and analyze this forum for veracity and important, usable information.

Possible AI result: 99% belief // 1% truth
Possible analyst result: 1% belief // 99% truth

Then, in the year 2076, they simply agreed on 50% truth and 50% belief, not wanting to offend anyone.
That's how it was recorded in the history books, which is, of course, a fabrication. Truth isn't for everyone.

Everyone has a different perception of reality; the same thing can be seen in multiple ways, and
depending on one's level of consciousness (or lack thereof), things can look quite different.

 

I know you're like 65 but you could've just said "I disagree" instead of producing this pseudo-intellectual dribble. But such are the thought processes of the geriatric...

 

Don't forget the raping and coke.

 

Ahh yes, the Best Picture, definitely an unsullied mark of quality...NOT

If you seriously consider Best Picture nominees (or wins for that matter) as any mark of quality, you're either uneducated, 88, or have had a lobotomy (and if you're the second, the first and third go hand and hand).

And judging by your fallacious generalization, I guess these aren't "good" enough for you:

The point is moot since time does not actually exist.
It is an illusion created by the collapse of the wave function due to human observation

 

I think he's referring to Potato-headed Bobby. Or, it could be Evelyn, the Modified Dog...

 

Musicians in the past didn’t spend their time in forums and social media… end of story!
