Folk Punk

TOO MANY GENRES SPOIL THE ART FORM

How? It doesn't change the thing, just the definition of the thing. Rose by any other name and whatnot.

Clearly you have no idea how the real world works.

You are living in a fantasy.

You mean in the real world I can't cast magic missile at the darkness?

[Gridgm]

of course not a grue will eat you if you try

[Nodaisho]

Grues don't come out of the darkness, I attack the darkness from outside, magic missile has at least a 25 foot range, longer at higher levels.

If I hit a gazebo, though, I might be in trouble.

Despite the fact that dnd and zork and other rpg references are about as far away from the initial topic as one could hope, I can still bring it back full circle!

To me, Flogging Molly are the very definition of folk-punk. Although the genre is pretty wide spread, folk is really a traditional music but many regions and areas have their own definition of Folk. Given that I only really know of UK based folk heritage, I can only find celtic (irish/scottish) folk music making any worthy modern day reprise. Unless someone knows of a punk version of Scarborough Fair that works?

RE: Flogging Molly - I feel weird about calling a band that frat boys and sorority girls listen to "punk".

[Nodaisho]

I don't think that the listener changes whether the music counts as being in such and such genre. If frat boys and sorority girls listened to manowar, would they be less metal?

[Jeans]

No, but if Warriors of the World became the theme song of Pink Ponies TV Show(tm) it would feel odd to listen to it afterwards wouldn't it? Frat boys are about as non-punk as anything else ever.

that's why i don't pay attention to anything or anyone besides myself, for the most part.

it doesn't spoil the things that i love.
