A tendency for certain rock bands to want to laud/trumpet/reassure die-hards that while an 128 channel mixing desk is digital, the piano plugged into channel 88 is recorded using real analogue microphones (probably digital), and all digital post-production is done without using any sort of high fidelity electronic reproduction, no matter now acoustically similar to a "real" bagpipe the digital algorithm is, it is, in fact, cat gut being heard. Despite the acoustic versitility offered by modern technology, this tiny slice of it remains verboten, especially if your band specialises in 24-stomp box digital delay guitar solos, amplifiers with on-board effects, or many of the other mod-cons the computer revolution has brought recording artists, including not having to pretend it's the hiss that makes the LP - as digital hiss can be mixed in, or that Jump and I'll Wait ruined Van Halen's awesome 1984.
Deep Purple, until it was simpler to use synths with near perfect Hammond captures - so no no synthesizers
Queen, until it became obvious that Rockpera needs all the help it can get from no no synthesizers
Boston, because, um, true to the music, or something, so no instruments that had electrics, except electric guitars, but no synthesizers
Van Halen I,Van Halen II, until Eddie got his own 5150 studio and decided whatever shot he wasn't calling - no synthesizers , he now was, so no no synthesizersDreams
Yes: everything but no synthesizers, for a while
Emerson, Lake, and palmer no synthesizers - until their need to push the envelope included algorithmic faux mandolins.

Both the electric guitar and the synthesizer are electricity based instruments. The main difference is that a synth player is looking for affection from his instrument, rather than from his female fans.
Oh and the synthesizer is played with keys that trigger oscillators, which are led through a series of customizable filters to shape the final sound, whereas the electric guitar is played by touching strings moving in the mangetic field of the pickup coils, or not at all if the amount of affectionate female fans prohibits this. A solution for the guitarist finding himself in this situation is to touch the strings of the female fans.
Synth players who think that the fans are coming too close are advised to buy more synths and build a little synth fortress around themselves on stage.
After getting married, John decided to buy himself a synthesizer to replace his now useless guitar.
Even though he played nothing but synthesizers, the artist had a huge share of good looking female fans.
Bill used to play guitar just to get some, but later found out he actually had musical talent and hence switched to synthesizers.

A brain disorder that occurs when a person is high which makes them do outrageous things they wouldn't normally do and/or to act completely insane.
"Why is Gracie dancing on that table naked grinding up against four naked elderly men?"
"Yo she is suffering from synthesitis"

I bought a synthesizer so I could get laid by aliens.

Oh? Is consuming a ton of information and synthesizing it into a singular creative body of work, upon which, a multitude of other creative works are based a laudable thing to do and the guy who did it should be credited? Ooooooohhh!!! Ohhh! I didn't know that! I didn't know that was a thing! Well, who do we know who has done such a thing? Hmmm 🤔 I wonder...
Hym 🤔 "Who could it be? If synthesizing a plethora of information into a single body of work is a laudable thing to do.... And the work has a multitude of citations and/or a multitude of creative works that it's existence are predicated on.... That would mean that whoever has done such a thing... Should be credited for doing that.... Instead of be ignored.... But who do we know who has done such a thing!? I just can't think of anyone! Do you know anyone Iam?"
Iam 😒 "........"
Hym "Iam? Do you know of..."
Iam "Yes! I get it! Everyone gets it! Look, I know you're doing a bit but I'm tired... I don't want to do this right now..."
Hym "Hahahahaha! What? I thought you would be on my side in this one."
Iam "I'm going to bed..."
Hym "Aw, you're no fun... Hmm... But seriously.... Who could it be? Who has donevsuch a thing?"
