2000s not 200s lol. Though it stands to reason that anyone born in the 200s and still living would be a very good beatboxer, as given such a long lifespan one would liekly eventually practice and excel at a large number of skills/hobbies/practices, even ones that you might not have an innate interest in.

Yeah but you'd have no teeth and your face muscles would all be atrophied OR you'd be a vampire which is immediate DQ imo

One thing I learned from the Volker Ullrich biog of Hitler was that he was quite adept at a type of early 20th c version of beatboxing. When he was boring fawning acolytes to death with one of his few obsessions apart from Worldwide Jewry and the good ol' Beer Hall putsch days - retelling old WW1 stories. He would enhance them with his "impressive" array of machine gun and artillery bombardment sfx and of course listeners were completely transfixed by this performance!

"Mimicking drum machines" is at least a little bit interesting because drum machines are often regarded as mimics themselves. They are also, of course, instruments in their own right (and deserve to be regarded as such).

Still. TS: mimicking drum machines vs. mimicking drums vs. that mimic drums vs. mimicking drum machines that don't even pretend to mimic drums.

TS: imitating butter vs. imitating margarine
