S2：No，I don’t think it was a band.They didn’t write or sing their own songs.How can we call it a band?I don’t think jokes were more important than the music for this band.The purpose of forming a band is getting people to enjoy the spirit of their music.It’s more important than playing jokes just to make people laugh.
T：Good point.One more.Who would like to continue?
S3：I don’t think we should call it a band either，because singing and writing its own songs is the basis of a band.I don’t think jokes were more important than the music either.I think the content of music is more important than the jokes.The content is the soul of the music.
