You'd hip hop, but the tropes just won't let you
Le FP de la Braggadocio

(quiet)

brutal

I prefer "sleepy"

ILM = Joe Biden?

When people on ilx get backed into a corner via backlash they weren't expecting they either lose their cool and end up digging a deeper hole or they try too hard to appear thoughtful and save face with overwritten clarifications and... end up digging a deeper hole.

well i guess we found a sinister user amirite?

It's funny because I was on S*n*st*r (not embarrassed by this fact, just mortified by the content of my posts on there / the person I was aged 19) and then only joined ILX around um 2014 I think? And yeah, there were a couple of people on there like that.

it's good that ILE branched out to loving more than just things from the mid-2000s

Gotta stay with the times.

I thought the first ILM posters came from a Usenet group, and the Sinister folks arrived a year or so later.

There was also Freaky Trigger, obviously, since Tom E. started ILM. But I'm sure about the relationship between FT and alt.music.alternative.

some say the first settlers arrived from Gopher

What's the history behind this board?

"I Love Music" created as a discussion board for online pop fanzine Freaky Trigger.
"I Love Everything" created when lots of personal/non-music content was coming up on "I Love Music".

"ilxor.com" created when the server hosting those two boards began to get erratic and we decided we needed our own one.

It also goes back all the way to alt.music.alternative, too.

That's pre-history of a certain group of you, no? Plenty of us have been here since the start of ILX and having read Freaky Trigger for a while, without ever having had anything to do with a.m.a

Yeah, to be fair if we're including a.m.a. in the history we should include S!n!ster too

ah neat. And nary a mention of Belle nor Sebastian

That part of the borad's history has been hushed up by Big ILX.

it's mentioned in that final Tom E post...?

my bad, "S*n*st*r" mentioned. I thought Camaraderie above was doing some odd Google-proofing. I guess it had some stylized title.

yeah tbf I don't actually know anything about it! way before my time here

lol I've only just realized that Sinister was a B&S board. Shows how much I know about them.

the answer to op has been staring us in the face this entire time

was poptimism a twee conspiracy

Wasn't there a whole B&S subboard at some point in the early years?

was poptimism a twee conspiracy

It's all coming together now.

was poptimism a twee conspiracy

the actual portmanteau is "conspiratwee"

hehe

Can't see the wood for the twees.

Ah, sit down and learn of the Before Times. In yonder days, when I first went 'whuh' at a newsgroup in 1993...

ha, I was on Usenet in 1989

gentlemen, braggadocio

On alt.rocknroll.metal.metallica you can see a 16 year old me preaching Christian faith to metalheads who really didn't want it while simultaneously saying "FUCK YOU" to people who didn't like Load

Did you manage to convert anyone to either of the two?

Yes, 1 person. I convinced myself both views were wrong

lol holy shit. There's a new "internet legacy" thread and we'd like to hear more

okay, now i'm glad this wasn't locked.

nice we could turn this into "where are we anyways?"

did anyone recommend 311

The only thing I remember from alt.music.alternative is "Bzangy Groink", though I don't recall what it signifies- Jyoti Mishra's Club night?

Anyhow, wasn't all this the subject of a Tanya Headon IHM column years and years ago?

Ah, yes. Here it is:

Could DJ Format be just what OP is after? (I've never heard this track.)

ha, missed that. Did this guy ever say where he is supposedly from?

🎵 braggadocio and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day 🎵

Harsh on such a well-respected, allround, fully participating and definitely not just here to stoke this particularly lame fire borad member

Just got some organic braggadocio in this week's veg box. Please share preparation tips.

roast vigorously for 400 posts, serve
