"The best confluence of hacking and hip hop"

That's like saying the best confluence of oil and water.

Um, no, you're just being arbitrary. Someone could just as easily say that about hacking and heavy metal. They'd be just as wrong.

Actually it is worse than arbitrary. The greatest bastion of electronic music in the main stream is in hip hop. Metal makes far less use of computers and such.

Isn't calling someone wrong kind of arbitrary?

I didn't call you wrong. I said you are equally as wrong as someone who says some arbitrary other type of music is antithetical to hacking.

Then I'd also be equally as right, right?

That feels a little less arbitrary.

Exactly. :D

you obviously haven't heard of the genre "nerd core". it's exploding.

You're right. I'm far too nerdy for anything that's "exploding".

Isn't "nerd core" a contradiction in terms?

I had no idea. That was too good. (Except the bit about being picked last for dodgeball was hitting a little below the belt).

I'm glad I saw that. Now destroy that link forever.
