but

aren't we actually internet commenters

Haven

like we're on the internet...we're making comments...

Haven

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

really this thread means youtube and/or news site comments i think

Haven

so i guess what i'm saying is

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

inverted music then music now things will never not be funny to me I think

I'll never get why so many humourless rockists have attached themselves to Queen when Freddie Mercury was pretty much the opposite of one.

Sredni Vashtar

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.

Yeah.

Like he literally sang a booty jam way before Sir Mixalot made it big in rap.

Brian May

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!'

Sredni Vashtar

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.

Sredni Vashtar

But again, rockists and nuance.

And you wonder why rockists admired that?

Section42L

I'll also add that a lot of rockists admire Brian May for building his own guitar.

Admittedly, it is a rather impressive feat, but still...

Imipolex G

rockists have the wrong priorities, and this is coming from someone who mostly listens to rock

Sredni Vashtar

^^^ 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.

Tachyon

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?

Sredni Vashtar

That is a fair point.

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.
