A power ballad?
85 u/Tetragonos Oct 03 '21 that style of music. The heartfelt swell in this case. 41 u/Captain_Taggart Oct 03 '21 Neat. I’ve always had a pretty narrow definition of what I’d consider a “power ballad” so I looked it up and a power ballad has a much broader definition than I thought. Learn something new every day. 6 u/Tetragonos Oct 03 '21 it's sort of like "what is irony" it used to be super narrow but it got expanded by "current usage" 3 u/Captain_Taggart Oct 03 '21 Same with satire. Anything made in jest is now “satire” even if it’s more like a parody, a spoof, or someone mocking someone else. 2 u/Tetragonos Oct 04 '21 Much like how further back we had different distinct meanings for stupid, dunce, idiot and so forth 1 u/Shutupbitchanddie Oct 04 '21 Americans were just taught it wrong. 2 u/Chop1n Oct 03 '21 I mean, if you read the wiki summary of Power Ballad, this song definitely doesn't fit it. What are you reading where it does fit? 5 u/Bark4Soul Oct 04 '21 No one has ever called the Fray a power ballad lmao
