      good point

      though I'm not sure the players care nearly as much as the stepfile makers honestly. the players who didn't make simfiles always just wanted fun stuff I think.

        you have to admit that based on the characteristics of each era at least, there is a distinct parallel in thinking patterns

            The only distinct parallel I see is romantic=technical. All the other ones are pretty far-fetched, and don't really have any grounding. The baroque definitely represents the highest degree of technical perfection. I definitely think that there could be some parallels, but not in the way you layed it out. Throughout most of history, all music has been meticulously planned, in it's own way. The organum quadruplum of Perotin is extrordinarily technical in it's own since, definitly not notepad and ctrl+r. Simultaneously, the tone rows of Schoenberg are meticulously technical, but most definitely not fun or creative.

            Sorry for jumping on this. I just hate sweeping generalizations about music history. And I love music history.

            e: actually, the romantic era was about creativity more than any other, now that I think about it. But it does have a strong root in technical perfection as well, if you think about the mechanics of playing.

                Baroque Era - "files must be onsync"
                Sync is what was consider "technicality" back then, except they never used that word.

                Classical Era - "files must be layered"
                Files began to have a little more than just plain sync, or just plain technicality.

                Romantic Era - "files must be technical"
                This is the "creative" era, where people began to use layering correctly and more freely.

                Contemporary/Modern Era - "files must be creative"
                Combining romantic and classical styles, breaking rules in order to achieve new [sounds] feel. Most of the best stepartists are at this level, including me.

                Post-modern Era - "files must be art"
                Even more avant-garde than the creative files, these are true art. Only people at this level are amy and kil.

                Post-post-modern Era - "files must be fun"
                Discarding all rules and following pure emotion. Even though many of you are thinking up here, nobody is able to achieve this level yet.


                Parallels indeed.

                              actually we repeat from the beginning except minus the notepad and ctrl+r dumps

                              and the time it takes to reach the post post modern era is proportional to the number of panels squared divided by two since we have two hands for instance four panels squared is 16 divided by two is 8 so we should have reached the end like two to four years ago or something jeez we're stupid. so six panels squared is 36 divided by two is 18. solo should last eighteen years. then we move to double and 8^2/2 = 32 that will last until like 2050 by then we'll have some weird quantum computing music game which makes use of quantum entanglement and the uncertainty principle so we can play two songs at the same time but never know our results and that will probably last forever
