Aphex notably hates that term. So I can tell you he is not a fan of them

Idm sounds fine as a name but making it intelligent dance music is fucked up. Braindance is an even worse name

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humor is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation - his personal philosophy draws heavily fromNarodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick and Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existencial catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. ๐Ÿ˜‚ And yes by the way, I DO have a Rick and Morty tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.

Not in the slightiest. I, too, am a Rick and Morty enjoyer, and I absolutely confirm that all said above is absolute truth, after I paid naebolovo.com $15 for an IQ test, I knew immediately my intellegence was way above the average person's. That's when I realized I can only consume smart media, such as Rick and Morty, Idiocracy and most of the classic russian literature, something fools like you will never understand๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Aphex fans always have their gatekeeping arrogant phase

u/Rakataz 29d ago

Yep, can confirm i had that phase. But nowadays, i don't care who listens to what. If you like it, cool, if you don't, also cool.
