250, only mistake was an impulse decision that Fela Kuti was the Fugees.

249. There were a few lucky guesses in there for sure.

248, struggled with some of the indie shit

243. The more recent rap/R&B stuff gave me a hard time.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 25 February 2017 23:22 (seven years ago) link
246. I got the rap stuff (which shocked me) and missed a few of the indie things. A lot of them were ridiculously easy to guess, though, like there would be only one female option out of four.

the average score was 158
which means they totally made that up
― Karl Malone, Saturday, 25 February 2017 23:57 (seven years ago) link
the average score on this online IQ test is 115, bet you can't beat it! (everyone gets 140+)
Maybe. I think our scores are just high because we are ILM posters.

247. Wish I had listened to some longer after realizing I wouldn't get penalized for time. Probably would have gotten a few more.

248, flubbed on Mitski, Twin Peaks, and Kendrick Lamar.

241, that was a pleasant distraction, lotta guessing on the stuff from the last ten years or so. Now, shall we do this again for every audio quiz on Sporcle?

250 and I only own one album featured (TPAB). Have never knowingly heard Artic Monkeys, Rilo Kiley, Mitski and a few others. Why do I know this stuff?

I've now knowingly heard Rilo Kiley. They're great! I can pick them blind from a similar lineup based on ambient exposure to indie music. Not my thing at all though. Speedy Ortiz was another I correctly ID'd having never heard. I do, though, read interviews with almost anyone and they're very interviewed.

seems we did get a handful of new posters after all, wonder where they came from
ex lurkers maybe

rymers who defected to ilx because their off-topic and politics boards got shut down and their music board stagnated as their community sought for the thousandth time to determine which album had the best opening track. they think ilm is really highbrow because here you can have *deep thoughts* about the critical reception of late career Zeppelin albums rather than just quibbling over why "California" has such a low track rating. in the next year or so, rym will shut down all of its message boards and there'll be a link to ilm on the rym/sonemic frontpage like there used to be on freakytrigger.

lol oh dear, maybe that's where the person who i poked fun at for sounding like an 'acclaimed music' community member came from
let's hope their forums don't shut down too
