Genuinely great thread idea OP.

Never ever bother to watch the videos but reading a short few lines when you have no idea of the genre, context or imagery to sway you is really interesting.

I'm torn between reporting this thread for abuse of green-texting and the fact that almost no bugger's saged makes me suspect that it's all the same chap posting and applauding it for originality. Ho hum.

>>9876

I imagine that the mods don't need a day old thread with 11 posts in it reported in order to be aware of it. Plus, the post previous to yours was saged and it's a fairly innocuous use of greentexting.

>abuse of green-texting

Really? Green text is standard imageboard formatting for a quote. My understanding is that abuse of green text would be using it for something that isn't a quote, usually as a means of presenting a straw-man argument.

>>9878
I don't know what to feel about green-text especially now that we are seeing idiots use '>' outside of chans but what I do know is that green-text started out as an incredibly lazy way of writing things like stories which is what I think of when people say green-text abuse.

For the purposes of this thread I think it is being misused as really there is no point when the whole post is a lyric quote but misuse is a different animal to abuse. The real problem is that nobody is discussing the lyrics they are posting so it feels like spam or at least a waste when the kind of topics lyrics can raise are often worthy of threads in themselves.

Saged ticked because I'm not sure I am adding anything and the thread might still be of interest to others which I have no problem with.

This is my second post in this thread so it isn't me.

Nope, it's used for quoting stuff round here. Other posters, articles, whatever.

I was thinking more that if a set of lyrics particularly grabbed someone they might then go and look up the song out of curiosity. I prefer it not being just a youtube embed click away, because then if someone actually does reply they liked that song you know it took some effort for them to find out. I don't think the posts that are just lyrics are spammy at all. It's the point of the thread. Little snippets of verse, in manageable size.

>Saged ticked because I'm not sure I am adding anything and the thread might still be of interest to others which I have no problem with.
Agreed, I'm sure it's fine.

Lad, it's one thread. If it feels like spam to you, just hide it.
