Sign in to disble this ad
I've notyced a trend among predominantly locyl bands to put the lettyr Y in their names instead of other letters? Y? I'm sorry for anyone yn a band wyth a Y in their name, but I think it's an automatic sign of a band I'll probably nyt see. If you're in a band such as this, what do you think the Y adds to the name? I'm seryous about thys....it's been bugging me for years.

Linguists call it the "Scary 'Y'" effect*. Majyck is much scarier than plain old magic and vampyres beat up weedy little vampires for their lunch money. Wyzyrds are more mystyckal than wizards. There is of course an exception which proves the rule: Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" is much scarier than The Byrds...
*maybe. If they're cunning, they do.

I predict "Q" will be the new "Y" in '06 Wiquid Pissah...Elmuh Fudd stylie. |
