Good evening, fellow refugees. I go by Snake, and for the sake of preserving whatever culture we have, I have an inquiry. It is by all means optional, but I assure you that I have no malicious intent. You may ask questions of your own if you'd like it to be fair.

[He actually has... more than one question. He made a list. Brace yourselves.]

What sort of music did you listen to, back on your home world? Were their many genres, or did it all sound the same? Are there specific instruments, or was it all electronic? If there are no lyrics, how would you describe it? If there are lyrics, would you like to write them down? ... Did you enjoy it, or are you not the type to consume what must be one of the greatest form of art?

[He might be a little biased. He also has to take a breath, after all that.]

Or, if you would like, simply name a specific song and artist. Covers are acceptable.

Non... [ugh, he hates saying this] Non-magic technology is the only way I know can produce music. Why do you hold such a dislike for it? How would you even know of it in the first place?

You are, by the way, referring to the classics. Classical music is not the correct term for either bands, or... any bands at all. Rock groups are considered postmodern. If you enjoy various forms of classical music, you would be rocking out to Mozart or Beethoven.

I've read about most of it in books. Not to mention there are a handful of nations that insist on clinging to those old ways.

[Why Zepp does it is beyond him.]

Both bands were in their prime over two hundred years ago. I would say that qualifies as classical.

That isn't the proper term for-- [Snake is about to start a lecture on the different periods of music over the ages, but he interrupts himself before he can begin. You're welcome, Venom.]

I'm sorry, but did you say they were two hundred years old? Where are-- where were you, before this?

[poolhall_killer]

I did.

And I'm from earth, though it appears our times might be different. I'm from 2187, if that helps.

[ripvanwinkled]

That puts you... 159 years ahead of me. That is a bit disconcerting. More than a bit, actually--

Does that mean the only things you've enjoyed are... what, synthwave?

[poolhall_killer]

Well, no. The classical music of my era is varied, and aside from the aforementioned groups, I do enjoy orchestral music and opera.

And I don't really talk much about it, I do enjoy what most consider classic rock.
