More seriously, I'm agreed with all of you on the topic of minimalism.
When a genre is based on having as few parts as possible, there's really no way for it to evolve.
There are ways, but people tend not to take those paths. The seeds are there from the beginning: La Monte Young came to minimalism through tone row music by stretching out the notes of his rows to incredible lengths; Young, Riley and Harrison all used bizarre and novel tunings in their music; and Reich's earliest works of note were experiments in tape manipulation.
More people have said that and been killed than there are thorium decay products.
The canon Sonic timeline is: Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Sonic Advance, Sonic Advance 2, Sonic Advance 3, Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2. That is where it ends.
I never did quite get the whole 'Nobodies have no emotions' thing.
They emote. They express displeasure when things go wrong and pleasure when things do. Those are generally signs of having emotions.
Yes, it's possible to emote without having emotions and without directly lying to themselves. That's basically half of the robots ever written in fiction. And yet, the argument with those robots is usually that, by virtue of emoting, they have emotions. So Sora's rather vitriolic stance against treating the Organization as people is rather unusual?
Though, recently near the end of Kingdom Hearts 3D, it is revealed that nobodies can form hearts of their own as they become more self aware, and that Xehanort had been lying to the rest of the organization about this fact all along.
I'll just spoiler it out, but apparently that's a thing, so how about that.

You make good points. After all, Disintegration Loops (one of the few modern minimalist pieces that pushed the genre forward) was based on inadvertent tape manipulation.

Yup.
I would say that stuff like experimental techno and house, psy-trance, noise and dark ambient have pushed minimalism far further as a genre than most modern minimalist composers.

Asleep, perhaps
I'll just spoiler it out, but apparently that's a thing, so how about that.
I think I listened to one of their albums (thanks, Zudak!) and thought it was just sort of there.
why do I bother mentioning these things
I dunno, though, I don't find being Ken all that appealing. Even if all my clothes fit that other guy too
ah well, whatever
I've heard beer tastes bad, but I never tried it
True points.
