Talk:132: Music Knowledge

It may be worth noting that much of Freezepop's popularity comes from one of the band members being the music director for Guitar Hero and related games and slipping in their own songs. This got them an audience way beyond most synthpop bands (and I'm sure endorsements by people like Randall didn't hurt).

Of course the rest of their popularity comes from the fact that they wrote great music, made cute videos, and put on a fun live show. And that synthpop is just better than whatever you listen to. 162.158.255.69 23:37, 16 September 2015 (UTC)

He's not endorsing them, he's saying the name because he doesn't know how else to respond to the character's comment.—Kazvorpal (talk) 01:57, 21 September 2019 (UTC)

Oh, please. Queen, Bowie, and Joan blow Freezepop out of the water

^agreed.

This comic reminded me of the "technical school mathematician incident" in China. The student's "math knowledge" (similar to the "music knowledge" in this comic) was questioned. ConscriptGlossary (talk) 11:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

You sound like we should know all about this. Maybe I'm an exception, but I can only very roughly guess what you're alluding to. (I'm guessing you're in, or from, China and it was huge national news there?) 172.71.26.61 14:01, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Just now I found that her name was blocked by the search engine. The student made a lot of mistakes in her handwriting. It's not blurry - it's clearly wrong. The latest piece of news about her came out on November 3. ConscriptGlossary (talk) 08:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Yeah, I hear that there can be "keyword filtering" over there when deemed necessary. Of course, we're probably more likely to hear about naval. incidents (or at least more likely to see documented cases about which ships nudged which other ships, etc) or what's happening to certain ethnic minorities, than the kind of thing you must he refering to. (For the sake of not making it troublesome for you, I'll avoid mentioning directly the more specific names/places/dates that might trigger the Great Firewall and/or deplete your 'social credit' if you're not already taking precautions against such scrutiny.)

I did a bit of searching for stories about this kind of thing, but could only come up with more generic recent problems (e.g. withdrawl of Advanced Placement results, for whole swathes of students), on top of several years of similar concerns that the system wasn't really consistent/satisfactory in the 'oversees' academic world. Sometimes it was seen as the parents(/students) trying to dodge the system, sometimes it was a 'higher up' systemic misrepresentation (achievement targets and quotas trying to be met?). Obviously it won't be in isolation, and not be uniquely one thing (nor internationally the only such problem spot). And no wonder that a more specific case of cheating(?) just doesn't notably pop up on our radar, here. I'm sure it's a fun story, but we'll just have to use our imaginations! 172.70.162.39 11:39, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
