Past-core? weren't you the one making shitty dated euro-techno?

what the fuck does that even mean?? I love how you have these presumptions that I make "retro" music ... I don't and never did.

go play with some bit reductiuon and date yourself even more Mr. talk talk talk talk ... play some fucking music ... or fucking quit already. I'm in this for the long haul ... you havn't even started and I'm having doubts you ever really will.

Go become a teacher stop wasting my time... had such high hopes for you,..

I was making a joke.

Am I rich?
What constitutes rich in America? I think I'm like, slightly upper-middle-class.

Skiptracer basically just represents the person that can't understand good electronic music because he's trying to interprete pyschedelic music from an academic point of view...

I primarily listen to music that I find aesthetically pleasing and that fits into one or more of my listening modes. Sometimes this music is atonal, or arrhythmic and sometimes this music is made by people who write software or who teach at universities, and sometimes this music is made by people who are not part of a "scene", but mostly it is not. In the end it comes down to whether the music affects me as I want it to.

On the other hand, I have a great deal of respect for electronic musicians who are pushing the boundaries of the medium. People that are exploring new sounds with new approaches. I guess this is what you mean by academic music.

Really, I don't listen to "academic" music very often. Perhaps if I created more time to sit down in front of nice speakers with a cup of tea and listen to music, I would. Music that experiments with unrecognizeable sound manipulation and psycho-acoustic properties can be rather enjoyable to listen to. But, somewhat unfortunately, I'm too high-strung (procrastination) and "out of my element" (high school) to do this more than occasionally.

Though I don't listen to academic music regularly, I do like to discuss "academic" techniques online. I find new synthesis and processing ideas to be fascinating. Perhaps this is what you've used to build the biased image that you have of me.

you've created some destiny in your head of being something so grand but yet with the attitude you have it seems like you lack a synergy with your surroundings and somehow seem to think you're better than it..

This is somewhat true. The writings of Bertrand Russell have been making me more aware of my narcissism and unreleastic expectations and I'm working on it actively in between fits of depression and viscous, soup-like periods of procrastination, compulsive distractability, guilt, and self-loathing.

What does it mean to look at music from an academic point of view?
Lately, when choosing music, I've been asking myself either, "is it mind-numbing/blowing?", "does it make me want to dance?", "does it make me want to cry?", or "does it give me an artifical sense of contentedness?"
I listen to music that satisfies one or more of these conditions.
Are you suggesting that I browse through music and ask myself, "is it academic?"
