look on the indie forum. ive made at least 3 on psychobilly in the last week but people are more interested in what other people look like or who wants to shag who. If a subforum is made it'll make people notice and they can learn about it or just enjoy discussion if their already fans. i know there are people here who would appreciate it. And if it dont work, fine, remove it.

New Wave and Psychobilly = Go in punk.

And if you made good threads perhaps people would look into these bands.

Stu

**** off they do. Psychobilly derives from rockabilly - absolutely nothing punk about that at all. their completely different. And New Wave is also nothing like punk. Although it adopted a similiar mentality, New wave was based upon angular, experimental, lyrically complex stylings with an emphasis on polished production whereas punk was based upon the garage rock ethos. Completely different.

I'm sorry, next time i'll talk about willies and vaginas and maybe that'll get peoples attention.

Folk Forum or rather anything that isn't the rock/metal forum. Just make threads right now you can make a thread for each like theemobandthing, where you post bands of the genre that people should be on about, and if people respond well you'll get your forum.

Psychobilly is a essentially a mix of Rockabilly and Punk, something like The Cramps, The Meteors. New Wave, similar to post punk may not sound punk but generally it is mostly associated with the music. Just like a band like Wire or The Ex are punk bands even though they are very experimental and adopt different music forms. Both these styles are also generally listened to by fans of punk music than fans of other genres.

well if you get a new wave/psychobilly subforum, then booboo should get a prog subforum, and I should get a general sports subforum.

and new wave or psychobilly is like folf is it? so the folf forum died on its arse, does that mean this one will? you cant just assume this. Their completely different with different qualities. Talking heads, television, devo, patti smith and the B-52s, Fun Boy Three, Costello, the modern lovers, talk talk, wire, gang of four and XTC are all bands seen as new wave who dont get much attention on here at all. thats what new wave forum would give - more coverage. And psychobilly is just brilliant and its a genre more people need to hear. its just think its worth a try.

Stu

i agree with you there.

hiu

Most of those bands aren't new wave or even from the same era.

oojay

but although some of us may have a legitimate point, every other member would want to start their own subforum as well.
