"Just to give you an alternative vibe." Look, this wasn't particularly affectionate, and it immediately puts you on a different level than your potential interlocutor. I wasn't referring to the context, but to the words of the reviewer. I didn't want to make a "show-off" to prove that I know Funhouse (like the genius did with Einsturzende); I hope you understood that.

I understand it differently. That is, if someone is a poseur, they are acting a certain way. For me, it's a neutral term, but also for the rest of the world since I've read loads of stuff where Johnny Cash or Nick Cave were referred to as such.

“Poseur” is not a bad thing in itself, evil genius. Maybe you mean “poser”…

Spirit, "poseur" is not a bad thing... well, you know, Nick Cave is a bit of a poseur. As for your concept of rock'n'roll, let’s skip that, it's better. :)

Talk about what never brings anyone in particular into play!!! What a laugh. :)

Yes, but it’s melodic, it’s what you want. But these are things we’ve come to say AFTERWARDS. What was going on in '81 was nothing but hardcore, and what makes the Descendents unique was precisely that need to bring in a second term ("melodic") to put next to hardcore. Milo Goes to College was adolescence, spontaneity, and irrationality... in short, hardcore. The power-pop bands of the late '70s, on the other hand, knew how to write great melodies and had some sort of stylistic exploration behind them. It wasn’t just spontaneity. Let’s see if Taurus understands what I mean, which isn’t just about bugging him. :)

In middle school, I remember that to score some attention from the girls, you at least had to pretend to know this TV show by heart. Okay, let’s say I watched it for situationalism, which always sounds cool. :)

Sellami, are you sure you’re not one of Azzo, Vortex, and Supersoul? You've gone from "my dad used to say that the Beatles..." to being the encyclopedia of Rock in just two weeks! :)

Cappio al Pollo, I mentioned the Stooges, and unless you’re a primate, they were definitely relevant to my point. I said that in an album like Funhouse (the first one that came to mind, I could have mentioned any of Lou Reed’s), you can really feel the drugs, the shit, and the other things mentioned in the review. In Appetite for Destruction, they play with making you feel those things, but everything is in an artificial and "poseur" dimension. Let’s see if you can make 2+2. If you don’t want (translated: can’t) to discuss it here, you can always change the air. ;-)

Here you go, Assafetidalover, I wanted someone to correct me because that was the lapidation error. :) Taurus, my intention isn't to argue, and I don't mean to say that you're totally wrong, but rather that you think too much with the benefit of hindsight, which distorts the flow of events a bit. I just wanted to say that bands like the Undertones, which someone mentioned earlier, are English and play power-pop (a particular branch of the early English punk), while the Descendents play hardcore ("melodic" is something you can add later; they do nothing but hardcore). Two completely different worlds, and not just musically. In bands like the former, there was a certain stylistic and melodic exploration, whereas with the Descendents, there's no exploration at all, it's just spontaneity.
