Secondly you seem to think that you would know if people on Toribash listened to pop, do you go onto servers and have polls? Because if you don't then that is a bit of a flaw in your theory.

Thirdly, liking instant gratification isn't the same as not being able to commit, and it certainly doesn't mean that they are unintelligent. That last bit is the worst of all, you seriously think that what music somebody listens to is related to intelligence? What if somebody was simply raised in a household where that kind of music was played?

In fact, even your idea of what intelligence is, is wrong. Intelligence isn't simply learning things, knowing calculus or how many bits there are in an yottabyte all of that is knowledge, which is different. That isn't to say that knowledge doesn't let intelligence shine but intelligence it is about creating a new way to solve a problem on the fly, or not making conclusions where there are none to be made. And again wanting instant gratification isn't the same as not appreciating things that take longer

Also yeah, if you're a kid who's hooked, it's doubtful your friends will also have the time or patience to master a game like toribash.
