Just a strange phenomenon I've noticed... Personally, I think music equipment/software is more "geeky" than videogames (esp. console games). They're a lot more technical, require more practice etc. However, girls seem very interested by my record decks, but not my dreamcast and GBA. Strange. |

i think the purple pants help the interest too |

its the coolest :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
IDM is more geeky, certainly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nah, video games are more geeky. Mere technicality doesn't consitute geekiness. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thats cause music is a talent, gaming is a hobby |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hahahahaha there should be ps2 groupies, they can sit around and cheer when their favorite gamer wins at marvel vs. capcom IX |
||||||||

|
music is more geeky but more sexy at the same time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also, older systems are less geeky as well at least to the girls i know, they're all "oh snap, nintendo!" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That's true actually- quite a few girls I know who knock me playing DC/PS2 etc. are oten up for a blast on Mario on the NES or GB Tetris. Tibbar- Yes, I've often thought at gaming championships people should take cheerleaders :) |

uhh i know plenty of what some would say "popular" people at my school that play videogames and shit all the time, necessarely i dont really find either geeky |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I suppose in recent years gaming has got a more accepted public image. |

no way. people who play crap video games are way sadder than us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Girls are usually more creative than guys so I think that music is considered less geeky than video games because girls appreciate creativity...even though you might have a shitload of music hardware. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not all videogames are crap. I bought a used SNES to play Super Metroid :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all i play is snes, genesis, nes i keep forgetting to grab sonic 3d blast from my daddys house |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, music is creating something, being sensitive. even if its about some technical stuff, you acheive something higher, and girls generally like that. Creative people seem more interesting for the opposite sex (exploit it!). Whereas, games are simply a waste of time in my oppinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think so. i think that adults who play computerr games is prretty geeky. i just can't underrstand how they still get pleasurre frrom them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know i grrew out of games when i was 14. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
also i think making music is prretty cool, not geeky at all. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't think you have to be really inteligent to play a computer game. the developers try to make now some easy stuff everyone can win. music making is a gift. not everybody can make it. i think this makes it impressive. when i invite a girl to me the first look is on my turntables :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
on the geeky quotient, games score 4, music scores 2, nhs specs score 8, and having an elastic band around your lunchbox scores 10 |

were nerds :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah I would have to say in my opinion that VIDEOGAMES are considered MUCH GEEKIER with my friends that are girls...I remember before my house was robbed a long time ago, I had turntables and like CERI said, people were always much more fascinated with my guitars, congas, turntables....etc.. BUt I LOVE VIDEOGAMES:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
adults who play video games are not necessarily geeks though. take me, for instance. i know what is being said with the opposite sex angle, the more creativity involved = less geeky, cuz you are creating an end product, not just consuming like with videogames |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Girls like the fact that I create music,untill they here it,then they think i'm crazy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But you are crazy, aren't you? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, lol. They like DJing too, so long as you leave AFX&Co back home :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
They really don't like V-snares,ATR,SQ,ae. do they. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not "real life" girls (apart from Pogo!), thank goodness for Neetta and co. here :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I love videogames and music, yay for geeks!! Seriouslah, being normal sucks if you don't like these :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
listening to anything but mainstream music is geeky, music nerds aren't as geeky as videogame nerds though... but music nerds are usually more outwardly strange, especially the musicians |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I would say games are more geeky coz I mean EVERYONE listens to music, but not everyone plays games actively. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think that most people listen to music "actively",.. sure they listen to forcefeed radio but they don't really actively get into music, they just let it take up the silence |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well ive never seen any equipment so I dont know how my reaction would be, but youre the guy and most of you say the same things are your equipment, so I'll take your word for it. At least you know the girl for you is the one who runs straight to your dreamcast and ask to hear some of your music =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well yeah I suppose but like, I think ppl pay more attention to music than games, like they know if they like rap or hiphop or electronic or dnb or something. And when people I know find out I make music they're always like "cool!". |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I make video games, (not professionally yet, but I've done some pretty advanced stuff) and people are pretty impressed with that, more impressed than with my music (although my music is really bizarre). Creating video games requires a lot of creativity. Warren Spector came to U of M and talked about shared authorship where the player is actually taking an active part in the video game. So, I disagree with people's earlier statements about video games not requiring creativity. |
