    rips is reserved for big catchy riffs imo

    Something can rip and shred but it cannot rip and spank.

  3. Agree, it’s always felt like it was meant to be shorthand for “cuts through the mix and grabs your attention”, specifically a riff. Seems most people just use it interchangeably now with any song that made them bang their head

    Good. Great. Fucking/bloody great.

    Every other descriptor is unnecessary.

    Julien Baker does not rip. She slaps.

    For me rips is generally used for speed or intensity, as much as being riff-based. Jerry Lee Lewis’ Live at the Star Club, Hamburg rips and there’s not anything identifiable as a guitar riff from the guitarist really.

    When someone says something rips, they mean it is farting

    riffs don’t have to be guitar specifically

    I stand by this. How are there only 5 posts on the site about them, 2 by me? Are they really that Philly centric, have people never checked them out?

    Always do the right thing. Supporter

    I read an interview with Tom DeLonge where he said “Punk Rock Girl” is a perfect song or something so I listened to them a lot in middle school or maybe early high school. They were also on the soundtrack to a late 00s Tony Hawk game. Maybe two. Cool band

    wanna go for a ryyyde

    was just wearing my big lizard shirt yesterday ha. then again tho im also in the philly area. maybe there is a bit of a philly centric thing about them but i could also understand how their style might not appeal to everyone.
