Talk:Cultural impact of the Guitar Hero series

"In" vs "On"
I appreciate the attempt to be correct about this, but I think there are subtle differences here: - "Culture impact on a field" implies that GH has caused the landscape to change in that field - it's a mover and shaker. For sure, this is evidenced in the video game and music industries. - "Culture impact in a field" implies that GH has appeared in this field but no to a degree to change the field significantly. This would be true for the health/treatment field as well as pop culture, where GH is present. --M ASEM (t) 16:42, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Precursor to Guitar Hero
I think that it would be good to work a mention of how the GuitarFreaks series precedes Guitar Hero by seven years, yet never managed to have the cultural impact of GH. I'm sure many people are under a mistaken impression that GH was the first guitar controller rhythm game, something that the talking of Guitar Hero clones in the "On the video game industry" implies. Also being able to include sourced reasons to why Guitar Hero was far more successful than GuitarFreaks would be quite informative.--Remurmur (talk) 00:33, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * The main GH article notes the GF influence on the game, but to say why GF failed where GH succeeded needs a source. --M ASEM  (t) 00:44, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Found a nice article on the subject.--Remurmur (talk) 02:38, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Cultural Impact of Rhythm Games?
I feel that do to the continued success of both the Guitar Hero and Rock Band series, this article should be renamed. This article seems to make it seem like Harmonix and the Rock Band series have little to do with the cultural awareness of rhythm games. --70.162.240.202 (talk) 03:32, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Synthesis danger?
It seems like this article is either violating, or coming dangerously close to violating, SYNTHESIS. Any thoughts on this? RobertM525 (talk) 09:40, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

A Curiosity
Why is it that "cultural phenomenon" has got supporting references in the lead, but real instrument learning and health industry impacts don't? --Thanks and Cheers! Elfabet (talk) 20:25, 17 December 2018 (UTC)
