Erik! Nice photo there. That guitarist is going nuts behind that keyboard.

So I was thinking about the funniest moments in my entire life and you yelling "Fuckity Fuck Town Shit" while turning the wrong way onto a wrong way street in Austin is at least top 5.

Thread resume.

Ok...Ok...We Get it... We...get...it...

pop is defined as what is currently 'popular', which does not exist as a genre in itself but encompasses a number of styles.

I wasn't providing a dictionary definition of that particular poster, it just came to me and I threw it on a poster. I apologize to all those who were apparently offended by that poster...

Oh, and of course you trolls out there, too.

Wasn't the genre pop referred to originally as Bubblegum Pop, while the Pop that is the popular music, and thus not a genre, is actually Pop Chart or Popular Music? So in fact, pop is a bastardised word that happens to mean two things, in this case?

All I'm saying is, fuck pop music.

Sweet. If anything else, it reminded me of some genres I forgot.

Thanks.

I don't think relation to music really matters here. As long as it's funny.

I can't help but think that last one is directed at me. :P
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style. :D

Sorry Embers, not to poo poo all over your original post, but I came across this site that makes even the most pessimistic of us look chipper.

http://www.despair.com
http://calendar.despair.com/viewall.html

they sell motivational post such as:

Image
Losing: If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style.

Image
Individuality: Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else

Image
Misfortune: While good fortune often eludes you, this kind never misses.

Image
Worth: Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important

Image
Ambition: The journey of a thousand miles sometimes ends very, very badly

Not a problem. Been a huge fan of despair.com. In fact, that site is what inspired me to start my own. That site has been around when I was in High school (c. 2002).

I had a small version of their "Procrastination" "Hard work often pays off after time but laziness always pays off now"</a> on my cubicle and office wall for years.
