- 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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I think this is completely legit. I grew up in an area with some local people who would just get around some instruments and sing to pass the time and I think it is fucked up that this isn't more normal. It's so enriching to just sing and make music like that even if it's not for anyone (maybe especially so). I do think that it's better to do things like this because it's an active collaboration between everyone instead of passive enjoyment, unlike sitting in a room listening to music or sitting in separate rooms watching tik toks
This is great if you enjoy singing. But if you don't enjoy singing and you're forced to do it because your family is like "this is family time and we're going to do this" then it's pure fucking torture.
This applies to literally anything though. Movies, tv, etc
Yes, the problem in my eyes is people with nostalgia for times they thought were perfect and trying to enforce those on younger generations.
Edit: I should add, to me that's what this cartoon represents. An older generation waxing nostalgic about how lives were when they were young and frowning upon the younger generation doing their own thing. And it's a cartoon that has been remade many many times, it's basically one of the oldest memes.
