The Mindset of the Incoming College Freshmen

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday August 18, 2009 @02:24PM from the we-have-always-lived-in-the-castle dept.

Beloit College has come out with its annual Mindset List of what the incoming class (of 2013) has always known and has never known. "For these students, ... the Green Giant has always been Shrek, not the big guy picking vegetables. They have never used a card catalog to find a book. ... Tattoos have always been very chic and highly visible. ... Rap music has always been mainstream. ... Except for the present incumbent, the President has never inhaled. ... Amateur radio operators have never needed to know Morse code."

Re:Sorry buddy, but Slayer is no better than rap by Keebler71 · 2009-08-19 01:56 · Score: -1, Troll

Death and thrash metal (including Slayer) are both incredibly intricate and demanding styles of music... but Slayer's compositions and playing ability are light years ahead of ANY popular music these days.
