Grunge was misrepresented in the UK. It was the natural next part of Rock but it was being listened to by moany teenagers with black nails and depression. I don't judge music but I was turned off by the scene. I listened to Hip-hop at the time, so now I find myself rediscovering my hidden favourites from Grunge rock because of what they meant to me, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Greenday. I started from Toto - Africa and then I was like, dude I know what good music sounds like!

30 points is huge. The difference would be most easily hidden from 85-115 but that’s still a giant gap. If those thirty points are from 55-85 the difference is very apparent. You can tell that a person with a 55 IQ is retarded after how are you. 100 IQ fixes your toilet. 130 IQ fixes your teeth.

Give me two examples and I'll tell you which one demonstrates higher intelligence.

maybe hair metal should have had some self-awareness so they didn't make such ****e music

selling a lot of records and shagging loads of women is nice and all but what's that got to do with making good music

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=l0GcwBiCDkw Warrant, Trixter and Firehouse - "Fight For Your Right" Lafayette Concert 1991 LA. Rock was never better then at this time when hair bands were ruling the world. I miss those days so much!!!
Music is **** these days.....talent is minimal at very least.

More talent in 30 seconds of playing than the entire genre of glam metal

To paraphrase Stan Smith to Roger in American Dad: this is you, isn't it? I'm going to click, and it's going to be you.

An IQ is test actually is a series of tests. Each test measures a different thing. The number is really an average of those things.

If you listen to the Howard Stern show, the employees will take the test in competitions and they'll bring on the doctors who administer the test and they'll explain it a bit and its fairly interesting.

One person who took the test had high scores on the test in almost every category except the timed parts because he would work at a slower pace.
