You perform an experiment each time? Recording their answers and formulating conclusions? What conclusions do you draw from these?

It's a shame what COD has become. I used to love MW2, I'd play it every afternoon with friends and it's the first game I could say I had a passion and obsession with. But these latest games have ruined it for me. It doesn't feel like the same, fun game anymore. Microtransactions depict the greed of Activision, and the community has become as toxic as League of Legend's.

No, I don't think I'd continue dating them. Although that's not as if I'd begin hating them.

Anything by Arcade Fire feels horribly underrated. Not many people even know of the band.

I disagree with that notion, I've always found the songs that stick with me the most are the ones that have a catchy, head bobbing beat behind them. I don't really mind it if a song starts off slow and transient, but it's best if it slowly builds up towards something epic.
That's where subjectivity comes in. A song doesn't need to be catchy and "head-bobbing" in order to sound well. And the song doesn't need to build up towards something epic, the minimal sound is what's so epic of it: they've created a more than calming song with just one chord progression and synth, the modulation of that synth is the subtle detail that keeps the song from just being an endless loop, but the overall simplicity of it is to marvel at. Boards of Canada prove themselves to be skilful by epitomising the capacity of minimalism to convey the same strong emotions that the ability of complexity has as well. They could have easily created the same atmosphere using their entire arsenal of musical knowledge, but the fact that they did so with limiting that knowledge, highlights their music is both powerful and amazing.

Here's another great example of minimal sound. One chord progression, one synth, one beat pattern but diversified with the screams in the background and a speech by Alan Watts on "what is I?"

The nostalgia is too much
Diminishing interest, morals, and rejuvenation?

Yeah I used to do quite a bit of art. But got bored of that too. ;p
