if I had to guess, I'd say it was an attempt to describe an alternating bass drum and hi-hat onomatopoeiacally. If that's even a word.

According to The Bloodhound Gang, it's "uhntiss uhntiss uhntiss". :)

I can't believe "unts" was questioned. laugh new

I guess if I said "unce" that there would be similar questions, but I don't see that variation of the word very often so it's cool. Also, for something to truly be "uhntiss" the hi-hat would have to be hit physically (or emulated to sound like such), rather than have it sound like filtered white noise emulating a hi-hat (which is usually what the hi-hat in techno normally sounds like).

With you all knowing that I make techno I would've safely assumed everyone knew what unts was. Oh well. What's past is past and it's all groovy. Wink

I got what you meant; I just thought it was weird how you said that. People would usually just say "this song has no electric guitars" rather than "this song has no bwarr bwarr beeoooorrr". Likewise, people normally say something like "this is not a techno song" or "this song doesn't use the standard techno beat".

I, too, agree that most people would say things in those ways, however, I am not a person in the people. I am weird, intelligent, naive, clever, addicted to video games, and boring to talk to. I don't believe in taboo therefore allowing to say things - that would normally scare the crap out of people or make people question things they've never thought of before - without fear. I'm also very lighthearted and like to go ^_^ a lot.

To be honest, I'm actually finding myself like this place. :D

Back to the song. ;)

I don't see how that self-assessment takes you out of the "people" category. With the possible exception of "naive", it sounds like what most people who play games think of themselves.

Even going to a horrible point of expressing taboo? A great example of this would be this: what's not as bad, raping a child or murdering a child? Many cringe at the thought of a man raping a child, so they'll automatically say that raping a child is worse because he/she has to live like that for the rest of his/her life. However, were the child murdered then there is no future, therefore making that worse than raping the child. I'd rather see five children raped than murdered because the abused can overcome the situation with A LOT of determination (how ironic) while the murdered can't do a thing about it. The living have a future and the dead don't. Murder is more common place than announced rape therefore making rape a lot more shocking when it's announced, but that hides the logic that a raped child can still prove to be human and keep his/her sanity, however difficult that may be. Take these two scenarios:

-Mother drowns six year old daughter in swimming pool.
VS
-Father rapes eight year old daughter.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't have a clue why a mother would drown her own daughter; we can only assume she's a lunatic. As for the father, however, he is a male and a lot of males have sexually-driven impulses and some can't hold them in; he may have scarred the child but men are wolves and the child can still have a future to look forward to, even though she'll have a lot to overcome.

It is due to this logic that helps me overcome all taboo and base my thoughts on the truth, not false emotion. "OH NOES The man raped her! KILL HIM!" vs "Why did he do this? What he did was wrong but I'm sure there is a good explanation for this, however, he will by no means get away with this".

This is what makes me so different from all the others. I have no fear to speak my thoughts on the most distasteful issues because I know I base my thoughts on logic, not emotion. In a way I feel superior and yet I try to be humble around others. It's weird.

Dang, is this thing broken again?

Or is "Sorry if that's too profound for you all, I keep forgetting who my audience is..." really the misguided patronizing crap it sounds? Because, you know, it sounds much more like you have no idea who your audience is. Or rather, no idea that it might be anything different from your IRL one.

2007-10-02 02:43:03 pm

Well, to be honest, I have gathered that a bunch here go to high school, but that there are those who have graduated high school as well. Therefore, depending on the age of the audience could determine how sociological and philosophical I should be. It is due to this and the fact that I had confusing responses to my well-thought-out post that makes me question the average age of everyone and if it's even appropriate to post things I would say in sophisticated classes in, let's say, college. Let me put it this way: I normally feel comfortable talking to people on my level when it comes to things like these, otherwise I feel like I'm talking down to others and I feel awkward.

Everyone who has posted in this topic so far, with the possible exception of 13M13 (I don't know how old he is), is in college or beyond.

And we all think you're just spouting patronizing nonsense for the most part.

To be honest, Nario, I have a hard time reading anything you post, regardless of content, because all I see is:

It's a sig someone made for me and it has sentimental value. Sorry that I'm misunderstood, but then again, I am fairly unique so I don't expect everyone to get used to me right away. I don't mean to keep getting us off-topic (which is mainly about the music), but I've been told by one of my friends that I'm probably the coolest weird guy he's ever met. I don't know whether I should take that as a good thing or a bad thing, but for all it's worth, I suppose it's a compliment. laugh new

Nario, do you understand how randomly busting out with a wallpost about raping children in the middle of a thread in the art board about a bit of music might you know throw some people?

Oh hey, another person who prefers seeing children raped. Wanna join me in my bi-weekly watching session? :)

Also, didn't like the track, sorry. It sounded too much like a tranquilized arpeggio rather than something with a clear idea.
