but by the same token that i shouldn't apply that generalization to each one you can't really expect me to take one or two examples of not retarded 12 year olds and change my mind about them holistically

on the subject of an introductory experience what i'm talking about is a pack that is packaged with the game itself ideally with free music or public domain music so there aren't any issues with distribution that is specifically crafted for a new player experience.

fair enough on all fronts! it's a lot tougher now than it used to be before. it was nice when Newgrounds TOS basically allowed all of the music uploaded to it to be free for use -- revenue sharing programs prevent this from being possible now. still, there are still various songs around the internet with applicable CC-NC licenses.

EDIT: to your edit: it comes down to members of the community being even more thankless and basically making content that they themselves will really not have much use to play - instead creating for the future of the game, in hopes that other people will come and enjoy the game, gain the knowledge of the basics, and do for the newer group of newer players what we did for them, etc.
