The body’s natural reaction to music is movement, mainly by means of dancing to the beat of the song. These include head and hip movements, tapping feet, and waving arms. The effects that music has on the brain stimulates the listener’s tendency to dance, so a large objective of a DJ’s performance is to exploit this phenomenon. In a group setting, strong musical elements such as bass lines can cause an interpersonal synchronization response where the pleasure created from music is transported to the collective movement of people. Dancing in a group can create changes in behavior, enhancing social bonds between group members and generating relaxation and euphoria.

There are only 10,000 unique CryptoPunks 6039 males and 3840 females which are made digitally scarce through the use of blockchain technology. Each one was algorithmically generated through computer code and thus no two characters are exactly alike, but some traits are more rare than others. They were originally released for free and could be claimed by anyone with an Ethereum wallet. There will never be more than the original 10,000 CryptoPunks.

The Wikipedia article for the F-91W watch has gained attention from KSNV for an incorrect release year being propagated in the article by circular reporting. The article, since March 2009, reported an incorrect release year of 1991, which was repeated in a BBC article suspected of sourcing the date from Wikipedia. The BBC article was then cited as a source for the 1991 release year. Personal communications with primary sources repeatedly affirmed a release year of 1989, but a dismissal of the communications as proscribed original research in favor of the BBC citation led to the false release year remaining.[1] The false release year was corrected in 2019, citing KSNV's article about the controversy as a source.

The music genre has been changed from instrumental Hard Rock with classic tunes such as "Conditioned Reflex" (the 1996 "Plus" edition BGM being performed by the Japanese act "X-BAND") to Lo-Fi synthesizer driven pop becoming a key change in the series. When Sega Rally 2 offered 3ch Surround sound, the 2006 edition is only Stereo/Mono, which is a surprising backstep on a 6ch Dolby Digital/Pro Logic II capable machine.
