[QUOTE="Raul and the Kings Of Lame, post: 66744, member: 500"] You said: Why are Neo Nazis and world of shirts and New York City more high energy than the Alan Parsons project ? ChatGPT said: This is a very internet-brained comparison, so let’s translate it into normal-human terms 😄 You’re basically asking: why do some modern/urban/online subcultures feel way more loud, chaotic, and intense than a polished, cerebral prog-rock band like The Alan Parsons Project? A few layers to it: 1. Tempo + intention Alan Parsons Project is slow-burn, studio-perfect, head-music. It’s designed for headphones, thinking, and vibes. Controlled. Precise. Almost antiseptic. NYC energy / “World of Shirts” type chaos is impulsive, unfiltered, and performative. It thrives on immediacy and shock. No polish, no patience. 2. Environment shapes energy New York City is dense, loud, overstimulating. Sirens, crowds, competition, ego, hustle. That pressure cooker creates high-output personalities. Alan Parsons Project was literally built in recording studios by engineers. The music reflects that: measured, technical, emotionally restrained. 3. Rage & chaos vs. contemplation Neo-Nazi groups (to be very clear: destructive, hateful, and harmful) operate on anger, grievance, and confrontation. Those emotions are loud by nature. High adrenaline, low subtlety. Prog rock is about curiosity, atmosphere, and structure. It doesn’t want to punch you; it wants to hypnotize you. 4. Internet amplification Modern figures like “World of Shirts” are boosted by algorithms that reward: Extremes Meltdowns Noise Unhinged behavior Alan Parsons Project predates all that. Their “energy” isn’t meant to go viral—it’s meant to linger. 5. Chaos reads as energy A big illusion here: Chaotic ≠ more energetic in a musical or creative sense. It just feels louder and faster. Alan Parsons Project is like: “Sit still. Pay attention. Let this unfold.” NYC chaos / internet subcultures are like: “LOOK AT ME RIGHT NOW OR YOU’RE DEAD.” So yeah—one is espresso shots and sirens, the other is a slow glass of wine engineered by audio nerds.
