For guitarists definitely ‘wooden heads’ cus different woods are their outlet.
“Yuppie” is already a word.
ADHD suffers
Isn’t that just a noob?
This word already exist.
We used to call them Ag-Nags (AGNG’s)… all gear, no game. It was a derogatory term, but it was more reserved for the type of person that would go buy the best gear and never invest the time to learn how to use it or why it had value other than the sticker price.
Go out and learn something new. Enjoy something new. If you have money to buy gear, that’s fine… but know that most people that pioneered whatever sport/hobby your delving into did a lot more with a lot less. Enjoy it for what it is and worry about the gear less… sometimes the squeeze makes the juice that much better.
Pay Pig? Whale?
I have an idea, focus on what you like and don’t leave any time to tear people down because it’s just shitty and pointless and ruins hobbies for everyone.
How the fuck are you supposed to get into eurorack then.
You don’t 🙃
Probably for the best.
A tourist. I don’t agree with the sentiment, but it is another I have heard
“Golfers”
Hey, watch the slurs, sheesh…
I thought it was “Whales”
I am so guilty of this!
Granted, if it is a new activity or hobby where rookies don’t destroy gear, it makes sense to me. It lets me skip the constant upgrading as my skills increase.
I’ll buy a zillion dollar airbrush and learn to use it, and feel incentivised to take care of it. I didn’t do the same with my first Jeep when I got into offloading. My first one was a cheap junker that I could roll if I did a rookie move.
As for a slur for people like me…I dunno, whatever makes you feel superior I guess. If it is creative or funny enough, I’ll happily adopt it and use it 👍
