What is music? What is your exploratory concept? Every sound you hear is part of a scale, even if it's a microtonal scale. There is no exception. EVERY sound is part of a scale, and EVERY note can form a chord. Period. You, sir, are a repugnant fool.
I never said that Muse wasn't music. I said that their sound is boring. The only decent songs that they have ever made have been the ones in which they've ripped off other musicians. Their own songs are pretty godawful. They pass as "music" but come nowhere even close to true artistic expression.

Real music is something that moves you, not a mundane wall of noise, or something so boring that it might as well pass as elevator music. They have an uncanny knack for turning everything into the same old whiney drone. Their songs follow such a predictable pattern that I could probably make up an entire Muse song using their formula.

This is what I'm talking about. What you need to understand is that music is not just a collection of notes, keys, scales, chords, whatever - it's something that's wholly more than the sum of it's parts. Although those things are the building blocks of music, music is far more than that. Music is not just about what it's made up of, it's also about how it makes people feel, the emotions and thoughts that it provokes... dull music is music that does not provoke anything... at all. And that's what Muse is.

It's simply trendy, loud guitars, singers with spikey hair, and MTV overplaying them.

Erm, Splinter is not a third person shooter.
It's called a Stealth game, or a Stealth/Sneak 'em up.
A game which hands you a gun is not the definition of shooter.
A Shooter/Shoot 'em up is a game which involves mostly shooting, hence the name Shooter.
WRONG. Both on splinter cell and your definition of a shooter.

Again, please wait until you know what you are talking about before you make such statements.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shooter_game

"Shooter games cover a fairly broad spectrum of sub-genres that have the commonality of controlling a character who is usually armed with a firearm that can be freely aimed."

Shooter games do not have to be played with a gun - just anything that shoots. The game does not have to mostly involve shooting, but it is usually the case that they do - it is acceptable for a shooter to involve very little shooting, or for shooting to be entirely optional.

And splinter cell IS a third person shooter. There is no such genre as "sneak 'em up". It's full definition is Stealth Based Third Person Shooter. Stealth games are NOT a genre, they are just a style of genre, as outlined by wikipedia.

"A stealth-based game, unlike an action game, revolves around patience, avoiding combat, and using stealth and cunning to complete your objectives. It is not a genre unto itself (though it is usually found in shooter games), but instead a focus the game can have."
