The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Don't forget that the best music ever was the one that came out when I was in my late adolescence, everything since then went downhill fast.
Men At Work, Rick Springfield, REO Speedwagon... now that was REAL music!
"I was into Star Wars. You were into that Empire Strikes Back shit."
I like today's music but it seems derivative. Maybe I'm full of shit, and feel free to tell me why, but it seems like music from my dad's youth (which I also like) was way different than mine, but nothing has changed that much since then.
You could take today's music and put it on a radio station in the 90s and it wouldn't seem out of place if you didn't know any better. I don't think the same is true for 90s music on a 60s or 70s station.
here's an album from 2020.

You think this will fit in next to nirvana?
Not Nirvana, wrong genre. But it wouldn't be out of place on one of my metal stations, but I don't have to wait for that because now I have a station based on them, thank you for that.
But Morbid Angel came up after a few songs (to be fair it was a more recent song) and that's kind of my point. Stations based on a 90s band will get me recent stuff and vice versa. If I make a Who station, Elvis doesn't come up. If I make a Joplin station, L7 doesn't come up. You usually get a pretty narrow time frame for anything pre-90s, after that it's anything goes.
That's not to say Igorrr sounds exactly like anyone from 30 years ago, but it's an evolution as opposed to a revolution.
Edit: several songs later I got NIN, Mr. Self Destruct, it doesn't get much more 90s than that.
