Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area

This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.

Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.

Rules for General Chat

Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving

In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way

Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

You're right! There needs to be a revival within the scenes. Something akin to what Austin has done for comedy and fighting the cancel culture. As for Green Day and others... dude they're simply an establishment band. You see it with every genre. There's radio play punk... which is still punk music (barely sometimes), but only in that sense when compared to the thousands of "real" punk bands. Gimme The Effigies or Big Black any day of the week over Blink 182 or any other sucky cosmopolitan propaganda radio play band!

I listened to your link earlier. It's solid stuff and well made! I liked it! However, a bit too clean or produced sounding for my own style, but that's just me. The lyrical message is what matters.

I'd love to get involved in the creation of a new anti-woke punk band! It's the anon thing to do, plus it would either be successful or fun, or both!

When I was in college, my friend and I toyed with the idea of a ska band called Dick Tater Tots. Nothing ever came of it... mostly because neither of us could play any instrument worth a darn or have any talent.

I would spend time in college with my bass guitar, trying to teach myself Joy Division and New Order basslines. Back in the '90s there were guitar tab websites and FTP sites, but were constantly under attack with copyright C&D complaints by music companies.
