172.70.163.151: /* Explanation */ I dislike "as of " statements that attract the apparent need to edit to "as of " at whim. Setting this time marker 'in stone', at least perhaps it needs to be doubly updated by a seventh main release.

 ==Explanation==
-The punchline of this comic is that just by naming bands from the game ''{{w|Guitar Hero}}'', you can sound pretty knowledgeable about music without actually knowing anything about the bands you are naming. This is further emphasized when [[Megan]] mentions {{w|Metallica}}, a very famous band that mostly everyone can be assumed to have heard of, and [[Cueball]] has no clue who they are, because Metallica is not featured in ''Guitar Hero'' (at the time of this comic writing). A similar premise was demonstrated in [[1859: Sports Knowledge]].
