This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I’ve got a guitar with a damaged mid pickup, I picked it up for a song, it roughs up the sound something bad, but the thing is that for what I use it to play that roughness helps give me the tone I’m looking for. I have an old Crate amp that inches closer to the end with every session, and its garbled death rattles add precisely what I want to the sound.
Standardization is for hacks. You don’t get to decide what other people are looking for out of their art.
And just for posterity, what do you play?
I haven't played an actual instrument in decades, got a lot of musician friends though and I do still play with audio software. You can get any tone in existence with fully repaired and properly functioning equipment if you're halfway competent, this is cope. Get good and fix your shit.
“My friends play music, so I know better than you.”
Douche.
I'm right and you know it, get good and fix your shit clown
Cope
What instrument do you play, again?
For total hours played sax and clarinet more than anything, I'm not completely useless with guitar or piano either, and technically I have made noises come out of a few brass instruments on purpose but they weren't great
Not what have you played, what do you play? What instrument do you own and regularly practice on?
Just the keyboard
Loser.
Get good and fix your shit
