Featured Genres: Yay or Neigh?

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Credit goes to the almighty Vince for this suggestion.

In the other forums, particularly R&M, every so often there is a Featured Genre article. Like the FA's (Featured Artists), FG's are of course on the creation/history of different genres and a description of the genre. Not to mention the bands that started the said genre and the bands that continue to pursue the genre. There aren't TONS of genres to discuss, so don't throw that in my face, but it would still be something different and it would be fun to do imo.

So who's up for it?

EDIT: The genres do NOT have to be limited to Pop-Punk standards. This is to, just as the EYT threads do, introduce new genres to the Pop-Punk audience and perhaps expand their tastes else-where.

Kinda defies the point of this forum imo.

[Angry Balled Fists!]

whats the point knob head.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

To maybe bring up more discussion to this lazy forum :-\

sorry goddamn

[Grohlthegreat]

yeah but the thing is, r&m has alot of subgenres whereas i dont think there are many pp subgenres...

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Sometimes that makes me think "then why don't they just make this forum a subforum of the Punk Forum like they do Hardcore/Emo?".

But bleh maybe I just care about the forum not going down the sh'itter too much.

pop-punk used to be a subforum though right

[nobodyblossomsforever]

Probably. I don't know, it was only since last year I even noticed there was a Pop-Punk forum.

Not a subforum ever I don't think.



But, ATTN: ALL

Featured Genres are not only in Pop Punk. I wrote mine in R&M on Pop Punk.

[Eliminator]

um yeah i'm pretty sure i remember it being in punk and then people were getting all annoyed and **** because nubs kept posting blink and sum41 and green day threads in punk

i dunno thoguh

[nobodyblossomsforever]

I think that the Punk Forum may have use to allow discussion for Pop-Punk to commence in the forum, but then people got annoyed by threads being made about bands they considered vile (mainly under the Pop-Punk genre) and so it was contemplated to make it's own forum, and they made a decision to commence the action. I don't think it ever was a sub-forum though, because if it was then it probably would still be because if the Punk Forum regulars didn't like all the blink-182 and Greenday discussion going on in this hypothetical sub-forum it isn't like they would have to go there to post.

Anyway as Vince stated the FGs do not have to be limited to Pop-Punk. Genres not even relevant to Pop-Punk are welcome as well.

[Permanent Solution]

I will in fact encourage genres not related to Pop Punk because I won't learn mcuh from write-ups about Pop Punk nor will many posters here.

[Firecracker]

I could write a Prog Featured Genre.
That would be so awesome.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

If enough votes go in favor of having these I'll start up a Featured Genre Signup, if that's okay.

[Permanent Solution]

For the same of space I'll probably re-allocate space in my artist signup thread for you to do that there as well.

[Mute Print]

This is worth a try. What's the worst that could happen?



Also, isn't it 'nay'?

[Permanent Solution]

See: My totally defunct featured artist sign up that had twice as many people sign up as actually post theirs :p

[Mute Print]

:p


Also, upon reading through more of the thread...

What in the world made people think that these would have to be pop-punk related genres? Seriously, how many pop-punk related genres can you guys name?

[Excursions]

I think this is a good idea.

[nobodyblossomsforever]

:p

Like, maybe two, if they really count. :P

[Milo in college]

I'd be up for doing one.
