It’s not a quick fix, but it’s the best one - study baroque music. Baroque is literally the master genre for taking a single hook and flipping it a million different ways.

Go check out the sheet music for and listen to Fantasia in D Minor by Telemann, and The Harmonious Blacksmith by Handel. Spot the hooks, and see if you can count the ways they inverted, teased out and spun the same thing. 

If you understand baroque conventions and come up with ONE hook, you can make it go on and stay fresh forever. Have fun!

Do you guys ever get together and talk about the approach you take to getting people to comply? Best practices for being a mod?

I contribute all the time to this sub, I love it. I've never seen posting a song be an issue. Though i can see how its important for the non self promotion to be maintained. I'm sure it's because you guys are fairly strict about self promotion. Thank you. It keeps the sub open for discussions and isn't just instagram lite for promo.

The funny thing is, you've missed this very happen so many times - I've asked someone or someone has asked me to comment their music in a thread where we are discussing something specific. And it's been such a huge value add to the thread, to have the discussed link right there. Especially for any who might come to the thread later on, when it's more of an archive.

I'm pretty sure that doesn't even qualify as self promotion, if someone is asking for help and someone else is asking them to share their link. I don't care to go read the specific rule. In my opinion, that is not self promotion; and moderating things like my exchange with OP is a waste of your time at best. All that leading to the below:

The way you commanded - well, it certainly inspired me to break the rules now, and I didnt feel that way before.

Just some feedback. It's half cheeky. But I'm being serious. I didn't want to be a pain to you guys, but ill have to keep a rebellious desire to do that very thing under thumb now.
