<p>I wouldn’t. I would say that they heavily influenced BritPop (which was a 90’s thing), though. I would call them classic rock or Rock/Pop or British rock…or something like that . BritPop is like Oasis, The Smiths, Blur, etc.</p>

While it is true that the meanings of and reactions to “profane” words, like all words, are social constructs, that does not mean that one should use them needlessly, not least because the focus of the statement then becomes “Oh, they said a bad word” rather than whatever powerful thing you otherwise could have said. Racial slurs and slurs against women, also counted among “profane words” are utterly useless, as well, and often hurtful. </p>
<p>The development of profanity-use usually takes three phases:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I shouldn’t say that, it’s a bad word.</p></li>
<li><p>**** that! It’s a meaningless taboo, I’ll say whatever I want.</p></li>
<li><p>Actually, while it is a usually meaningless taboo, it rarely adds anything of value, anyway.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>What’s more powerful? A song that conveys a message using the full scope of human emotion, or one filled with profanity and slurs against women? Surely the odd “curse word” won’t damage a song’s message, but being packed with them will needlessly distract from it, not to mention those alienated by the widespread use of slurs.</p>
<p>Hard work, perseverance, and no integrity – that’s how :3</p>
<p>Forgot how to have fun while doing the Gifted IB.</p>

<p>In my Italian class we listened to a bunch of Italian music. Most of it sucks, especially the rap, which is unbelievably terrible. Even the comparably good Italian rappers like Fabbri Fibra sound a decade behind American rappers. I’ve really only found a couple Italian rock groups that I like</p>
<p>Also, as a Britpop fanatic, only Oasis really show a lot of Beatles influence, but the Stone Roses were really what shaped their early records (which were their best ones). Suede and Pulp were more like The Smiths, and are also more “indie” than Blur and Oasis. Blur idk. Their late stuff is a bit more influenced by grunge and American indie. They’re generally more of a fusion I guess</p>

</p>
<p>now everyone’s going to try to be the 7000th poster</p>
<p>if anyone has ever watched bleach, asterisk has some really good japanese rap :D</p>
<p>Music in other languages…</p>
<p>Don’t get me started. I don’t want to force an unbearable amount of kpop on you guys. </p>
<p>/Nuked thread</p>
<p>7000 is mine!!1</p>
<p>we’ll see maplesurrup ;)</p>
<p>I just gave maple some street cred! I was guided by the helpful aluminum tree.</p>
<p>Anyone mind explaining the purpose of the tree and the green bar at the bottom of our username box?</p>
<p>^lol it’s a scale… I think(?)</p>
<p>More green boxes=more reputation</p>
<p>You know I have a friend who tries to live by the “avant garde” lifestyle…</p>
<p>I tell her that’s a bit mainstream…don’t you think?</p>
<p>yeah, the green boxes are new. how would CC measure reputation though? number of posts?</p>
<p>^ you can give reputation using that silver scale thing next to your online/offline icon </p>
<p>Full green bars for all!!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I suppose it would depend on what time of avant-garde-ness. I mean, if she’s performing commedia dell’arte, making Beuys inspired video art, and reading Borges, that would be a bit out there</p>
<p>I have no idea what any of those things are, so I agree.</p>
