Why is prog rock called prog rock?

>>73138
They had to call it something. However, they needed a label in between "pretentious wankers up their own ass with themselves" and "musicians with real talent and training not limiting themselves to banal formulaic bullshit." They picked something in between that makes everyone unhappy, and that's all you can ask for.

>>73159
>>73138
Early on some music writers called it "art rock" which is still a label used today but that is hellza pretentious because it presumes that only that is artsy rock. While some prog rock backs could also be called psychedelic, that was a different phrase which had different connotations, and bands like King Crimson or Jethro Tull weren't hellza psychedelic, at least not all the time.

The harder question is hellza what counts as prog rock bands or albums. Are The Who and Led Zeppelin or even The Beatles prog rock because they occasionally did some proggy stuff? Or does one have to create 25 minute instrumentals in 13/7 time signature in order to be considered progressive?

I could write a 5k word post replying to the last four, but I'm too depressed to argue about music.

Maybe I'll write it and post it on /mu/, sometime.

>>73190
why are you depressed?

You're totally getting banned.

Instead of perma-banning people 99chan should use its vast resources and connections to order the execution of people caught posting shitty memes.

My mom has an iphone. The other day she had to get me to help her save a .txt file on our computer.

My mom bought me an ipod touch. Now I can't get an android because I won't be able to transfer my game's save files from an apple product to an android product.

You're issuing these bans from a tear soaked apple device, aren't you? Do you have to use one of those smartphone prophylactics to protect it from the constant moisture?

I use my old gen I motorola droid as a music storage device. Everything is deleted on it, I threw a bigger card into it that I took from work, and it's plugged into my car. I just like the experience of having a separate device for music that sips power for days and doesn't need to be fumbled with while driving.

>>73124
Hehehehe. At first glance I read "old gen" as "old men". I thought you were saying you did naughty things with old men in exchange for them letting you use their cars as music storage.

>>73109
The first mention of the problem was this

>I once saw an episode of MythBusters where they did that "if you put a plane on a treadmill will it take off" thing and they tested it by using a truck to pull a long strip of tarp out from a plane in the opposite direction that the plane was moving. But because the experiment could not be done perfectly at that scale, the plane, which had its engines running, moved forward quite quickly and took off. They determined that yes, a plane would take off from a treadmill, despite the fact that their experiment was flawed and their conclusion went completely against any and every law of aerodynamics and lift.

>>73035
It just mentions a plane trying to take off from a treadmill. That would work.

I never got altimeters. How does a plane know how high you are without a ruler. Is that one of the scientific gaps that god fills.

Also, how does wind even work? Air doesn't move by itself. I don't think science can explain any of this.

>>73127

When I was 14, my priest showed me all the gaps God was capable of filling. It was quite a few, simultaneously, with the help of his friends.

Annoying. They don't know how to process the emotions of others so they retract from people that they emotionally provoke. They refuse to acknowledge their own wrong doings and will gladly do whats in their own interest over whats in the interest of the majority.

>>72252
We're talking about sociopaths, not women.

.

A human with no emotions would just sit all day. They would do nothing at all because without emotions, they have no motivation to do anything. They might not even eat.

>>73116
That depends on if your definition of emotion, and where you draw the line between emotion and instinct. For example, crustaceans are capable of recognizing and withdrawing from harmful stimuli, but there is some debate as to whether it's truly suffering, in the human sense, or simply part of a self-preservation instinct to keep the crab alive.

Don't worry about being derivative, just focus on getting something out. If it's so similar as to come across as plagiarism, then do some targeted rewrites.

And while another author's cultural, political, and historical context may lend greater weight to their insights, your comparatively comfortable life does not invalidate your thoughts next to theirs. Indeed, your distance from real suffering may give you the objective insight that one who has been immersed in that insight may not have. Sometimes what is perceived as a weakness can turn out to be a strength.

We're often the harshest critics of our own work. All of my paintings are front-to-the-wall or behind bookshelves, all the collages are in a stack, and when I make music, I end up waiting months before going through all my tapes and recordings to sort and mix tracks because in the short-term I always hate it and need to wait until I've forgotten about it before I can stand to listen to it.

Plus, you could be exaggerating the similarities or unduly focusing on them as an excuse not to try because of fear of failure, fear of success, self-consciousness about sharing your work/ideas with others, etc.

>>72978
It's not so much about the act itself or even the reason for the act so much as the amount. The when and the why. I don't come here on the daily to refresh the page and post endlessly, I come a few times a week for maybe a half-hour at a time, often less, with the goal of contributing in some way, even if that way is a terrible one liner or pun or stream of consciousness silliness. The same way a person might go on Facebook to exchange a funny link or two with a friend, post a song they might like on their timeline, make an event page for a party or look at photos of their cousin's new baby. Contrast this with the person who comes to 99chan every day or the person who, at every spare moment, instead of allowing themselves room to think or decompress or look around or make something, opens up their facebook page and just scrolls endlessly through the homepage.

>>73004
Magnifique!

>>73034
>instead of allowing themselves room to think or decompress or look around or make something, opens up their facebook page and just scrolls endlessly through the homepage.
I guess what it boils down to is the matter of intent. Of infusion a conscious purposefulness into virtually every action, every choice made. As >>72982 quite nicely pointed out, anyone is capable of making art, and any manifestation of the imagination into a shareable reality is art. So in a way, your life is a piece of art and you should construct it - curate it might be a more accurate word in some circumstances - into the kind of piece you would like it to be rather than mindlessly floating through certain actions without intent.

Well, if you are still interested, I've included an excerpt and partial synopsis, titled "musings."

factiod
The suffix "oid" means "-like" in the sense that something that resembles a human is humanoid. Not human, but like a human. So a factoid is something that resembles a fact in some way but isn't a fact.

>>72832
what an interesting factoid

Gay as in gay porn vs gay as in lame is a pretty Stallmanesque way of describing it.

In fairness, it's easier to sell neurotic, effeminate babies shit they don't need, like clothes, hair products, and weddings.

All glory to the power of capitalism.

>>72563
Fair insight.

What is this commie bullshit? I like my women feminine and my guys even more feminine. ...In appearance only, though; it sucks that the hottest fem twinks are also usually more emotional than a menstruating feminist and crazier than a bag of crazy cat ladies.

>>72847
Shut the HECK up, queer.

friendly reminder that masturbation i only done with the self, and saying self-masturbation is redundant.

I masturbate with others all the time

>>72906
I believe there to be a stark contrast between the act of masturbation and selfish nature we are trying to describe. The act of masturbation is for the self, and admittedly are usually not more than for the sake of self.

Describing something as self-masturbation feels more voyeuristic to me, as if the masturbator wants others to know that they are the ones masturbating. When multiple people do this, a circle jerk is created.

they should call it selfurbation

It's not hot even if the macaroni is shaped like human beings or ds?

Shaped chicken nuggets are better than normal chicken nuggets, too. It must be a psychological thing.

It's hot because of the femdom elements, not because you're digesting food for nutritional content.

That looks super impractical. The guy can barely thrust, meaning he gets barely any stimulation, and the girl gets a d crammed down her throat.

>>72900
It would feel ballza regardless.

>>65351

I seriously doubt those were written by women. Maybe a few, but almost all of them have the stink of e-lit written by some pervy dude out there. I couldn't find a single one I believed. And trust me, I've read a lot of taboo e-lit.

>>72918

And then, Officer Sexypants Dynamo thrust deep inside me as a squirmed and fought, moaning and soaking wet the whole time. "No! No! No! OH, YES!" I screamed, as his officer buddies circled around me and took out their throbbing erections.

This is a 100% real true story of rape.

>>72918

You'd be surprised. The majority of Gurochan is female, for instance, and they don't stop at rape. You don't have to condone something to enjoy it, nor do you have to enjoy it to condone it. The doctrine of the mean applies in all cases.

>>72900

Obviously you've never deep throated a girl. Most of a mouth is empty space and teeth. The sweet spot is that sphincter in the back, which has muscles that open and close. The friction that he does get happens to be exactly in that sweet spot. It's the only time I've seen throat fucking done right, and I've seen a lot of throat fucking.

This girl is a champ regardless.

>>72876
I have an orgasm denial fetish so this is all getting very complicated.

>>72876
Well yeah, but maybe if we get a retard out there talking about her sexual desires and performing sex acts on cam it would illustrate our point for the public.

Maybe we should start an organization that dispenses free sex toys for the mentally retarded and a dating site for such people. Surely they want to date, right?

Eh kinda, I wanted different things to happen, but it was still a ballza ending. I think the movie has a lot in common with The Talos Principle, which I think I liked even better. People shit on that game because they think it's a portal clone, but I thought it was very ballza.

Hey now, you're taking that out of context, I love this site!

>>72562
I feel you, I don't like the elit section here anymore though (lola is cool though), and yeah, I'm done with doing it for free, so posting there would just miss my point. I have enough experience with this place to know that you just can't do any kind of promotion on here for stuff like this though.

Reddit has some erotic literature oriented subs. Some have explicit rules against advertising or selling, but some (I think there's one called sexsells) are specifically aimed at people selling online sexual services (webcam performers, authors of erotica, clips4sale store producers, etc).

Get involved in a community like that. Don't just spam though, cultivate a presence. You're marketing your work, you need to create a consistent brand and put in some heavy lifting to cultivate a fan/buyer base. Once you are established in those communities, offer community-specific discounts (a coupon code you only post on that particular forum or subreddit for example) to create a feeling of connection, specialness, exclusivity, and give back a bit to the community that is providing an outlet for your work. Look at how camgirls market themselves. A lot of the women posting on reddit subs like /gonewild/ are camgirls; they spend a lot of time sharing bits of free content (ie, nudity). There's a woman who posts gifs on a breast expansion sub who has a porn site that caters to those kinds of fetishes.

I would recommend, if you're a small-scale DIY purveyor, to find a niche. Look at the most successful Clips4Sale stores and see what they sell. Mark's Head Bobbers and Hand Jobbers is big and he does lotso of ruined orgasms, edging, etc.... much different than the roided out blowbangs with fake moaning you see coming out of the San Fernando Valley even though he works with a lot of mainstream porn girls. SexySaffron always pops up in reddit porn boards, whether it's cumshot boards or breast expansion to share free gifs and occasionally link back to her website. A lot of successful small-scale porn caters to fetishes and content you won't see on Brazzers or PornPros: ball-busting, femdom, breast expansion, ruined orgasms, edging, JOI... There are a million porn girls out at someone's finger tips so why would I pay for X or Y Girl's clips4sale clips? Because she's offering something that is difficult or impossible to find elsewhere. It may not be as polished and professional as Elegant Angel content but: a) it doesn't matter because it's unique content that EA doesn't offer; and b) that amateur feel can be part of the charm, make it more "real".

I would also like to echo the suggestion for better covers. But it's not so much the design of the cover as the title. That is just a messy mouthful. You might as well call it Taming a Naughty New Bride Part One-B of 10: Reconnoitering With My Promiscuous But Legal High School Senior Step-Daughter and Maybe One Of Her Friends for all the words you got crammed in there. You need something snappy.

You spoke in a derogatory fashion about the woman who wrote 50 Shades but here's the thing: she got a book published that sold millions of copies and was made into a movie and you're asking 99chan for tips on selling your incest erotica. Obviously she got something right that you are missing. Obviously her book had the marketing power of a publishing house behind it and you're going DIY, but what she still had to do something those publishers knew was sellable, something that would click with a lot of people. First of all, I think her book is the perfect mix of edgy and safe, and it does a great job - like most ballza erotica - of tapping into neurosis and repressed fantasies. But it's also got a snappy set of titles. There's wordplay in the first one, then the next few are snappy variations of that title: 50 Shades of Grey, 50 Shades Darker, 50 Shades Free or whatever they are (not bothering to google because you get the point).

As far as what your title implies, I think you've got it backwards: why would I want to read about some guy taming his wicked wife? I want to hear him helping his tame wife break free and become wicked. The slutty step-daughter could work, but the word "meeting" makes me think no sex will happen here and the book will have no payoff. "It's just part one where he meets her? I want some climax, I want some action, not a meeting!"

Why would anyone buy a "Part 1" where two characters "meet" from an unknown amateur author? This just makes me think there's not going to be enough action. Give people a small, all-encompassing package. Make the title let them know it is entirely self-contained. Make it short but with enough content and story that it is worth paying for.

So think about that title. Make it snappy.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

Crickey, thanks! I agree that the title is bland, I know the covers need work too. Also,I don't just do one kind of erotica, but maybe I should move towards a couple of niches. Thanks a ton for the advice ballza sir.

>>72710
you're welcome. I think about this kind of thing a lot. Not erotica necessarily, but marketing DIY art or small businesses.

It states it in a hellza stupid and obnoxious way but the OP picture is basically right, a few martial arts even have special terminology for yelling while performing.

>>72518
Why would you ever want to stop?

  >>72740
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiai
but yes, people who just yell without any self-awareness look like, well, this.

>>72740
I did taekwondo as a kid for ~12 years, got a 2nd degree black belt, etc etc. and yeah it does hellza work, especially in sparring situations. The guy who owned the taekwondo club my class was affiliated with was this 8th degree black belt Korean guy who was in his 50s and terrifyingly ballza and occasionally he would fly out from the Maritimes to test some of us and he would always pick a few of us to spar with. When he would yell, it would totally throw you off. He'd come flying at you and let out this bark that would startle you so much it could throw off your balance and then he'd have you and just kick your ass.

It was incredibly awkward being an adolescent boy and having to yell like that though because of voice cracks. Once I was well into puberty and had settled into my lower voice better, it was fun to watch the 12-13 year old kids and listen to their uncomfortable voice breaks and accidental squeaks.

the fuck happened

The same thing would happen if you gave any other teenage girl an excessive amount of money and fame: they'd try to buy their way out of their insecurities. In this girl's case that takes the form of cosmetic dentistry.

I love razberry zingers (little debbie snake cake things). I justify it the same way I justify the occasional drink. The pleasure provided by the substance in the moment is worth the negative effects.

Beer and cake is a treat though not a daily or even a monthly thing.

I'm actually cutting right now, in preparation for doing a bunch of sunny activities this summer. My brain wants carbs and shit food like crazy. It's hellza strange how much that stuff screams at you if you go without it for a while.

>>72704
For a moment I thought you meant cutting as in cutting your arms

Usually it's either salty tortilla chips or sour gummies. I don't think I indulge too often but that's probably not true.

I tell myself "it's ok, I'll change my shitty diet tomorrow" and then never do.
