Eh, he only has to tolerate you for as long as this conversation lasts. You're sorta stuck with yourself forever tho :/
Oh my god I love this person.

if you're 28 and still talking bringing up your SAT score unbidden in a conversation, you really can't lord anything over anyone

I think he's 21, which he mentions later. He said he has the chance to retire at 28, meaning he thinks with his current and projected income he'll be able to retire in 7 years.
Edit: I spent some time looking through his profile (why...) and I was wrong, he is 28. And he acts this douchey pretty much everywhere. See, for example, this incredibly long catfight started over the incorrect use of "your".

Yeah, anyone who talks about how well they did on the SATs doesn't bring a lot to the table, in my experience. I might give 18 year olds a pass as they're still figuring out what's socially acceptable.

Not even necessarily a high SAT score, all he claimed was a perfect math score. Which is like, great, you had a good grasp of algebra and geometry in high school. So impressive.

That entire post has to be the worst thing I've seen posted on r/music in my two years being on Reddit. Holy pretentiousness.

Good god that parent post gave me cancer
Doing a quick tally, that means that 15 single word instances are 3 syllables. All the rest are 1 or 2 syllables. The vocabulary is not strong with this one. Look at that! My use of ‘vocabulary’ beat out this song by 2 whole syllables!
WHO THE SHIT CARES ABOUT SYLLABLE COUNTS OH MY GOD
HOW DID 1500 PEOPLE READ THIS POST AND SAY "Yeah, this is quality content"
Basically, by putting music out that has a grand total of about 30 unique words, you’re contributing to the lowered standard of quality of music
well too late for music, electronic and jazz music and shit have gone ahead and fucked the whole thing into the ground, sometimes those genres put out songs WITHOUT ANY WORDS AT ALL

EXCEPT FUCK YOU YOU’RE LITERALLY RUINING MUSIC. Who am I to say what should and shouldn’t be written? An asshole, that’s who. One who is procrastinating other, important work.
Pop music is structurally opposed to independence and creativity.
I'm an asshole. I'm pretentious, I'm a douchebag, cunt, twat, self-righteous indigdant prick who needs to get off my high-horse. I'm small minded. All things people have said to me today. I am all of these things, sure, but that shouldn't diminish the importance of my points. The argument itself has nothing to do with me, I'm just a douchey conduit for what I perceive as positive change.
What I got out of those quotes is someone who isn't happy that other people have different tastes to them. Some people like throwaway music because it sounds good and makes them happy. Some of us like obscure shit. So what, as long as you're happy? It's not like it's Guantanamo where you're locked in a room, being forced to listen to 'bad' music 16 hours a day...
I know I had a similar attitude when I younger, then I realised - seriously, who the fuck cares.
Also, why the fuck is someone proud of being an asshole, of all things?

That was the cringe-iest thing I think I've ever read on reddit, and at least half of that is because I totally would have posted something like that when I was 19.

Sometimes the high horse is justified.

SAT scores as a measure of IQ is fucking hilarious. Any dork with $800 can drop it on a tutor and get top scores.

No, don't you get it? He said he didn't even prepare for the SAT! I mean, that dude took a test in high school without studying. You better stop liking things he doesn't like or you're gonna look dumb

The music video for that song even shows you the dances! That's literally all you're supposed to do, just dance along, like the Cha Cha Slide or the Cupid Shuffle.
