1) Were people always so cuntish to newcomers on ILM?
2) ILM is like Judaism, you have to knock three times before they let you join in.
3) Let the paddlin' commence!

(personally, I find this to be one of the more humane threads I've encountered on ILM)...
doesn't ILM have a "new person has to buy doughnuts for the first week" policy?

Probably but I think a lot of people didn't really start intro threads in the past. As far as I remember they didn't, people would use the introduction thread instead of starting their own "hi i'm here!" thread. I know I cerainly didn't because, well, I was too afraid to be bashed on the head. Back then the discussions seem to be extremely *serious* (for lack of a better word).
And anyway, it's jokey, not meant to be taken seriously when people say snidey comments on intro thread, no?

I get the impression some people really uphold a strong sense of 'there goes the neighbourhood' re newcomers on ILM. Point taken re worth of individual intro/hi dere threads tho.

I started the message board precisely because there were a million places on the internet to talk about that kind of music and precious few where adults could discuss pop. Anyway most of the original posters here were people I already knew, and while the pop-friendly aspect of ILM has been diluted over the years it's never entirely faded away.

the most unintellectual music discussion imaginable will invariably revolve around the most mundane example of contemporary pop music ie. timberlake, beyonce et al. ad nauseum.

it's all obviously a personal quibble on my part and certainly not a severe one. i mean, if i were to actively seek out one of those uber-cool message boards with certified 'indie-cred' i'd likely be frustrated at the lack of informed musical discussion, as those outlets seem to revel in namedropping rather than the expression of anything vital or interesting.
i really like the liberated, natural discussion of music on this site, and consequently at times wish the tastes of others reflected mine a little more closely. though that's just an example of how my experience of this environment might be improved.
and eveyone else, don't judge me as i certainly have good will towards all of you

OTM
And I should say that as one of the small handful of ilxors here who's background is more oldies/Funk/Disco/80's hip-hop who dabbled in 90's indie and its roots, it was annoying at first to realize how much love there was for mickey mouse club starlets, but I came to realize a.) that this stuff isn't inherently "bad", and b.) a board without it is just horribly misguided

my musical interests incidentally cover just about everything genre-wise. a lot of artists i'm still in the process of learning about, but i don't actively despise any style of music per se. i probably don't embrace pop as much because i tend to associate it with people who have had very minimal exposure to quality music in general and whose tastes are barely founded in the first place. this site should teach me otherwise (in due course) :)
ned,
that's a good way of putting it, and frankly until now i'd assumed that ilm's love for current trends in pop was a reflection of the same contrived evolutions found elsewhere on the web ie. a need to periodically shape and redefine what is considered to be important and relevant music. often celebrated bands are inexplicably shunned to the point where their achievements are forgotten in favour of the latest flavour of the week. it's good to know that ilm was actually founded out of appreciation for pop and that there has always been a more natural tendency for such expression.
scott,
much agreed. iq levels are soaring on ilm

But soaring downwards is impossible, so I assume the word you were looking for is "plummeting"
― Am I Re-elected Yet? (Dada), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 15:55 (nineteen years ago)
but perhaps plummeting is the best word to use? i haven't noticed people getting stupider?
― Charlie Howard (the sphinx), Tuesday, 26 September 2006 15:58 (nineteen years ago)
I get the impression that it's not so much that people here hate newcomers as it is that they (can I say "we" yet or is that too presumptuous?) hate attention-whoring. for example, I am arguably a worse human being than Louis Jagger, and yet, because I hide my evils beneath a veneer of BASIC FUCKING SOCIAL NICETIES, no one ever wishes death upon me. um. I don't really know what this has to do with anything, I guess I just wanted to be proud of my internet discussion faculties.

I think lurking for a short while with a different username somehow allowed me to skip the hazing rituals, not that it was an intentional maneuver at the time.

Why are so many of the ILM cadre of ex-indie rockers ashamed of indie? (that's USA indie, not the UK "Boy Bands w/ Guitars"/Britpop indie)
Yes, y'all wearing your indie clothes, checking out indie girls/boys, closet listening to indie allthewhile suspectly buying other genres to boost your ILM cred... you are among the first to bash "Indie: The Genre"?
Why ya frontin', y0?
Peer pressure? Diseased with musical fashion? is this a po-mo "ironic" move like the fleeting destiny's child/missy elliot affection of last year?
