instead of a big 4 posters imo we should work out the big 4 differences ILM has from other music communities
here's my effort
- poptimism was won so long ago and so firmly that pop is kind of ancient lore & rite here, not something new and exotic that we're suddenly allowed to like. this puts ILM at odds with other communities that I've seen going through the same wars we did 15 years ago
- by far the best EOY polls & celebrations in existence
- absolute intolerance of fatuous thinking, which is mostly a positive but also sometimes i do feel a tiny, tiny bit sorry for the Turricans of this earth. adapt or die tho tbh, i did
- definite progressive agenda forcing regular posters to go without their usual anglocentric listening habits (while also still catering to the latter plenty) - again, a v good thing, even if u all diss indie 2 much sometimes

anglocentric/manocentric. an ilx alltime canon would be much, much more female than almost all the other canons, and frankly, good

I played guitar in an unsuccessful indie-rock band in Glasgow around 2002-2003 so I'm a pretty big deal

agreed. and breastcrawl for afro stuff, dow for country, morrisp for pop. There's a nice collection of about 25 people on this board who do a good job patrolling genres of choice.

sounds like deej is doing well, honestly, embracing wholesome hobbies. i am very happy to hear this.

Is that two wholesome activities or one gnarly but dangerous activity?

Neanderthal is Neil Young!? How did I not know this.
Is there a thread for a who’s who or how do you all have this common knowledge.
I just very recently found out JD Twitch is around ILM too.
