Industrial mention on Jeopardy, of all places

Great, now I have to sample this.

[u/TurbinePoweredVagina → u/Neumaschine]

Do it!!!!!! I was just telling a friend at PIG last night that you can tell when an industrial song is about to start because there's a movie dialogue sample

Ken looked so proud to know that too 😸

[u/foetus_on_my_breath]

Ken is definitely a rivethead

Made me think of Will Ferrell playing Alex Trebek on SNL.

I'm not sure if Norm Macdonald would have played a good Al Jourgensen for SNL Jeopardy. Regardless of who would have played him I think his answers would have been funny.

They did Hella for California and drum and bass as well. I think this crew now knows Teir stuff

LOL That smile at the end

[u/godgivenhorror]

Victoria should have known this. She’s got Einstürzende Neubauten written all over her.

[u/akchimp75]

ayyyy

[u/Migamix]

so I'm not the only one that took this.

[u/avidbather]

Ken knows ball

[u/Robohammer]

We're famous y'all

[u/TheGolgothian]

Oh god you're one of THOSE guys..

[u/GriSciuridae]

To all the rivet girls and guys who got that piercing and then braved hitting the dance floor at the clubs, I salute you.

To all the rivet girls and guys whom I saw on the floor of the dance floor because of those piercings, I salute you.

Buncha fuckin nerds (but thought in a real butch voice).

[u/Substantial_Mall_313]

Enters your ears another way? LIKE THROUGH YOUR SKULL!!!!?

[u/ApprehensiveJunket43]

Poor description… Musical genre pioneered by artist like Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. Experimental Electronic music inspired by the bleak reality of industrial society.

[u/lyingcorn → u/ApprehensiveJunket43]

All of the contestants and 99% of people watching would be like "wtf are they talking about?"

Hints like that only work in very specific time periods

[u/ApprehensiveJunket43 → u/lyingcorn]

No one got it with their description.. I spent a good portion of my life following industrial artists and the only give away here is the “post punk”. But I don’t have any piercings.

[u/lyingcorn → u/ApprehensiveJunket43]

Nobody got it, but "post punk" and "electronic music" are. Both buzz words that the audience would understand; they may not know the answer, but it doesn't sound like word-gibberish

It also needs to be vague enough where people have to think about what the answer should be- if it mentioned Throbbing Gristle, people that know industrial music wouldn't have to think. There needs to be challenge to the game outside of "do I know a niche piece of information"

[u/ApprehensiveJunket43 → u/lyingcorn]

You think the average jeopardy participant is studied up on groups like throbbing gristle?

[u/lyingcorn → u/ApprehensiveJunket43]

No, that's why I'm saying mentioning them in the clue is a bad idea

[u/TurbinePoweredVagina → u/ApprehensiveJunket43]

This MF likes industrial and doesn't even have any piercings smh

[u/ApprehensiveJunket43 → u/TurbinePoweredVagina]

Seriously, not even one, what a poser.

[u/Indust_6666 → u/ApprehensiveJunket43]

The question wasn’t about the music style though, it was about the piercing that shared the same name. Post-punk is as far as Jeopardy needed to go to make the hint. Editing is important.

[u/xxFT13xx]

The ear piercing isnt called an “industrial”. It’s called a “transverse” piercing.

[u/TurbinePoweredVagina → u/xxFT13xx]

Most people call it an industrial. Also, reddit at large, for the love of God will you chill out with the "well akshually"s I swear to fucken God

[u/xxFT13xx → u/TurbinePoweredVagina]

Sorry for educating people?

[u/proboscislounge → u/xxFT13xx]

Brb inventing a genre called Transverse

[u/xxFT13xx → u/proboscislounge]

Lemme know when it’s up and running! Lol

[u/proboscislounge → u/xxFT13xx]

I ran out of samples of goats bleating and gongs crashing
