Trust me, kids: learn to play a musical instrument reasonably well before college.

As for accordion playing, the “coolness graph” looks like this:

    I just don’t see the coolness of being really good at guitar being at its nadir at 15. Doesn’t make sense.

    Yeah, I agree with Mr. Bowman. Also, any 80-year-old who was good at Guitar Hero would be pretty darn cool. There should be an uptick toward the right of the second chart.

    LOALZ!
    thank you man. This will help me bash idiots who honestly think that a simulation of an instrument is harder than actually playing it. ALl the while they don’t realize that being good at playing an actual guitar makes you better at the simulation. Imagine that!

    Guitar Hero > Guitar

    People that sit in dorm hallways playing guitar are so annoying!
