The perfect entertainment for a dial-up internet era when downloading a single MP3 took longer than cooking a Thanksgiving dinner. Those visualizations were basically screensavers with a soundtrack, but damn if they weren't the pinnacle of digital entertainment in 2003.

He's holding that ancient computer like it's a sacred text while silently judging your for-loop efficiency. This is the guy who closes your question as "duplicate" before you finish typing it. His confidence level? Just enough to tell you your perfectly working code is "technically wrong."
