referring to "new wave" when talking about post-punk
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 21 February 2019 20:25 (five years ago) link
i recall watching vh1 as a child and remember they would say new wave was influenced by post punk
i don't hear anyone with a serious interest in music use the genres interchangeably
with music genres, though, there are so many dilettantes and uninitiated that it wouldn't surprise me if non-americans made this mistake, too

jim, i have friends in the music scene/industry.none of them use new wave as a synonymfor post punk.
we do say "crayg," though, lol
i'm pretty sure it varies by region

new wave means rock music with keyboardspost punk means sounds like joy division

i wish post punk meant sounds like pere ubu or the raincoats but no it's always joy division
but i've never known anyone to use those terms interchangeably

Potatoes were a new world import btw
― Gunther Gleiben (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 15 March 2019 03:05 (five years ago) link
Before potatoes came to Ireland, the Irish mostly just ate leprechauns iirc
― Gunther Gleiben (Ye Mad Puffin), Friday, 15 March 2019 03:08 (five years ago) link
That's why there are so few leprechauns about, nowadays

Last month I was driving to work and was in a queue behind a traffic light, left the 'keep clear' box in front of me empty, the car behind me drove around my car into the space! I was livid to the point of considering beeping my horn.― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, March 11, 2019 12:02 PM (three days ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Using bathroom to mean the lavatory as opposed to the room you bathe in is what’s being referred to there
