And instantly recognisable as such from the message title. People just don't post stuff like that for real. I find it totally off putting.

Perhaps folk don't post stuff like that for real - but it is getting increasingly difficult on this forum to know what (or who) is real.

When some members make-up another membership name in order to pose as someone else in order to press other poster's buttons (as a supposed joke) - some people may be prepared to use the same tacics for other purposes - like self-promotion? Some may have already done so and may still be doing so - for all we know?

Mildly dishonest, that's all; standard marketing trick

Nothing inherently wrong with posing as Joe Public to drum up interest. Mildly dishonest, that's all

*Smiles*…………. This judgement - coming from the originator of the following thread - whilst he was posing another member of 'Joe Public'?

From CDBaby: "The Generic Tribe: Music for the planet; eccentric but exuberant, unrestrained jiggly pop meets 60's rock and psychedelia, meets hip hop, emo and electronics along the way. A collage of color and inspiration. "

Had a listen. Don't sound like folk to me. But hey, that's my taste, have a listen and make up your minds - just google the name of the band.

Also, there is someone with the handle "scantron" that has left a number of messages on various forums drumming up interest. The "awsome band" thread on Mudcat is just one such example. Turns out he/she is a member of the band (says so in one such message).

Nothing inherently wrong with posing as Joe Public to drum up interest. Mildly dishonest, that's all; standard marketing trick. And some on this forum might actually like their stuff.

But not me.

Thanks, Jane.

How about a bit more information? The term "folk" covers a wide range of styles and subject matter. Where do Generic Tribe call home? Do they have any recordings?
