i guess, in the sense of "commentary", it implies an origin point which is continually being commented upon rather than the ever-evolving ebb and flow of a thread conversation which need only be tangentially related to the original post. but that phenomenon also happens in youtube comments, does it not
and furthermore, umberto eco's ur-fascism IS a cogent and concise definition of the term, which means that it can be meaningfully applied within the context of the greater metaplot of the smurfs expanded universe
Yeah, it's pretty weird. It's sort of like homophobic fans of Iced Earth berating the Angry Metal Guy when said band's frontman so obviously wants to be Rob Halford.
The "no synths" thing was not an anti-synth statement, but a disclaimer that they did not need sequencers or keyboards to play those insane guitar licks. May was actually perfectly OK with synths when they were actually used as synths. He just wanted people to know he could actually shred like that.

^^^ Oh, I'm not wondering. I'm saying they're taking away the wrong message.
It is worth noting that rockism isn't really about rock. It's about the obsession with authenticity and an exclusive culture of star worship and cultural oligarchy framed as meritocracy.
Sure. But i think that kind of statement of virtuosity was something that appealed to them, i don't think they necessarily took the wrong message (that Queen were anti-synths)
i mean it wouldn't surprise me if they did, but i think the intended message was very much the kind of thing that appeals to rockist sensibilities, you know?
Incidental ironic note: Gary Numan began his career as a rockist glam musician, but after stumbling upon a synthesiser in the studio when recording Tubeway Army's debut became convinced of the power of the amplified synthesiser and became an enthusiastic convert.

(I cringed just typing that)
Queen are also somewhat compositionally interesting
Also for a while there was the 'no synths' thing, though when they did start using them they were like 'now with synths!'
Admittedly, it is a rather impressive feat, but still...
