Pasty white people listening to techno - uh, what now?

― hstencil, Tuesday, 21 January 2003 16:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow - denominations for people to listen to certain types of music.

― Lek Dukagjin, Tuesday, 21 January 2003 16:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah this whole thing is pointless.

Humans listening to music - hilarious.

No, it does not make them cool.

pasty white people MAKING rap music (Eminem)...now THAT's hilarious.....

...in fact, ANYONE making rap music..... ridiculous.

― russ t, Tuesday, 21 January 2003 16:53 (twenty-three years ago)

Ridiculously fun!

― hstencil, Tuesday, 21 January 2003 16:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, Kodanshi, how come you've quietly reappeared? We miss the boldness of the legendary days!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

He reappeared months ago, folks! Keep up here.

Pasty white pply listening to anything but country and elevator jazz - hilarious.

― Nick A. (Nick A.), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 16:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Obviously you're more out of date if you don't know who posts here, as opposed to if you post snide threads about how "rap sucks" or some such nonsense.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 21 January 2003 16:59 (twenty-three years ago)

My freshness has expired.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Ugh. With every new thread like this, I understand Jess/Ethan's ILM malaise a little bit more.

― mark p (Mark P), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Come on mark, em@il is a troll, and a fairly low-intensity one at that.

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:03 (twenty-three years ago)

re: jess/ethan's ILM malaise - a thread like this doesn't seem too much different than an "indie sucks" thread, though.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:28 (twenty-three years ago)

Listening to rap doesn't make me cool? Damnit, I've wasted SOOO MUCH of my life! ;o)

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:49 (twenty-three years ago)

Time to trade in, Nick. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:50 (twenty-three years ago)

hstencil = kodanshi? Wow, cool!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Ha!

Tom, em@il is so low-intensity that I've never even thought of him/her as a troll -- maybe just a slow-witted acromegalic half-cousin. And not even that in a particularly bothersome way.

I'm glad, though, to see Russ T making classic statements of the "laughed off of ILM" thread and mostly getting polite disagreement so far!

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:56 (twenty-three years ago)

hstencil = kodanshi? News to me.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:58 (twenty-three years ago)

(Don't worry Stencil, it was a joke: you being Kodanshi is sort of patently funny. Lek is Kodanshi, so far as I recall.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 17:59 (twenty-three years ago)

Tanned white people (George Hamilton) listening to rap--awesomely life affirming.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 18:24 (twenty-three years ago)

Humans listening to music - hilarious.

No, it does not make them cool.

Worrrrrd up!

― Daniel_Rf (Daniel_Rf), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 19:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Yawn.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 19:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Alex you yawn too much.

― nabisco (nabisco), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 19:12 (twenty-three years ago)

In the rural south black people were playing banjos years before there was a style of music called "bluegrass".

Ken Kesey and a bunch of other white-people-freaks-on-acid referred to their musical-meandering-conversations as "rapping" back in the late 60s, before the days of hip-hop.

Nothing anyone ever did made them "cool".

Well, except for Ol' Dirty Bastard when he wandered onstage on an MTV function and said "I'm lookin' for some ladies to put my babies in."

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 19:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Sorry, Nab. This pasty white person's circadian rhythms are permanently askew due to my bizarro-world work schedule. Moreover, this thread is just such a yawnsome hybrid of idiocy, elitism and just the faintest whiff of racism that it has me yawning.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 19:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I am very white (I can get sunburnt through a shirt!) and probably pasty. Once I was on a train listening to the Wu-Tang Clan's first, and glanced up when someone sat down opposite: a teenage black guy in a promo baseball jacket with Wu-Tang and 36 Chambers all over it. I (42 year old white guy in a suit) immediately say, without thinking "Hey, that's what I'm listening to!"

He did not look at me as if he thought I was cool, therefore it's all true.

'Ghetto parties' fuel A&M probe
http://www.theeagle.com/aandmnews/011703ghettoparties.htm

University officials have launched an investigation at a Texas A&M University dormitory after learning that students were planning a “ghetto party” for Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Such “ghetto parties” are not an unknown phenomenon on college campuses. One of the most notorious occurred in November 1998 at a Dartmouth University fraternity party, which drew national media attention and heated protests.

A&M, which for years was all-white, still carries a reputation among some Texans as a place that is unfriendly to minorities and resistant to ethnic diversity.

"his friend, who doesn’t live in Walton, said that anyone offended by the party was being “too politically correct.”"

“I didn’t expect this from Texas A&M at all,” said Hawkins, who is black. “You think that this campus is like family.”

Any white person can get sunburnt through a shirt as ultraviolet rays travel through clothing, duh.

Taking Sides: Texas A & M vs. University of Michigan

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 21 January 2003 20:37 (twenty-three years ago)

Very few people sunburn as easily as me - I've not met anyone else who has been sunburnt through their clothes. They clearly reduce the rays a lot, in that a decent hat has always protected my head against sunburn.

go skiing in a t-shirt.

― hstencil, Tuesday, 21 January 2003 20:54 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, bearing in mind I don't use any form of "to be" except when relating jokes, quotes, etc. I wouldn't say "Lek IS Kodanshi" - merely that I used to post as "kodanshi" here but now post as "lek".

― Lek Dukagjin, Wednesday, 22 January 2003 00:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Any college that doesn't have 'ghetto parties' of one sort or another should must be one of those distance-learning institutions.

Perhaps they just stop selling malt liquor and hip-hop to white kids to prevent them from having a good time at the expense of a television stereotype.

― Millar (Millar), Wednesday, 22 January 2003 00:48 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, at least this isn't another Icy Hot Stuntaz thread.

― Nate Patrin (Nate Patrin), Wednesday, 22 January 2003 01:49 (twenty-three years ago)

I have no idea how or why 'should' decided it would rather be in the first sentence than the second, where it belongs. Stupid should.

― Millar (Millar), Wednesday, 22 January 2003 01:51 (twenty-three years ago)

Millar you miss the point which is that these are blackfaceish "mock the darkies" parties not parties where whiteboys drink 40s and listen to hip-hop.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 22 January 2003 03:36 (twenty-three years ago)

Every now and then I go to Freedom From shows put on in Chicago with such bands as Neon Hunk, No Doctors, etc. No Doctors (basically a no wave/butt rock band, as arch as that combination suggests) put on a show (which doesn't begin and end when they are actually on stage playing instruments) which seems an poker-faced parody of white frat boys throwing such parties, complete with G-funk blasting from the amps between sets. It's awfully boring.

― Amateurist (amateurist), Wednesday, 22 January 2003 03:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm not sure the run-of-mill ghetto party is that much prettier, Sterling.

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 22 January 2003 05:59 (twenty-three years ago)

No Doctors are frat boys. It's not a parody. Ask 'em about Northwestern.

― hstencil, Wednesday, 22 January 2003 17:47 (twenty-three years ago)

Wow, Lek writes in E-Prime! Hoorah for relativism in linguistics!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 22 January 2003 18:10 (twenty-three years ago)

two months pass...

Well, at least this isn't another Icy Hot Stuntaz thread.

It is now!

Note that this is proof positive that the Stuntaz are a big put-on: check the stunta in question, then have a look at "his" hand on Nelly's shoulder. Oops!
