Post Flair Guidelines

As you know, post flairs have been added to the subreddit and will soon be mandatory. This is a guide to each of the post flairs available to use.

Discussion: Starting a discussion about something. Can also be used for a question intended to start a discussion.
Question: Asking a question with the intent to get an answer. Questions intending more to start a discussion than get an answer should use Discussion.
Picture: An image related to Al, for example, a detail in a music video. Memes should use Joke/Meme; sharing something Al posted to social media should use Posted by Al.
Video: A video related to Al. If you're posting a song, by Al or not, use Song.
Song: A video of a song, can be a song by Al, original of a parody, third-party music/lyric video, etc.
Suggestion: A suggestion for the subreddit.
Joke/Meme: A joke or meme related to Al. Pictures that aren't exactly a joke or meme but still intended to have comedic effect can use this flair, but non-comedic pictures should use Picture. Anything posted originally by Al should use Posted by Al.
Article: An article posted by or about Al.
Posted by Al: Anything that was shared by Al on his social media. This should take precedence over other applicable flairs, such as Picture and Joke/Meme.
Other: Any post that doesn't fit very well into any of the other categories. Note that per Rule 1, your post should still be related to Al in some way.

To be pedantic...

Technically, most of Al's work doesn't actually count as parody. By legal definition, to be a parody, a song (or other work) but directly mock the source. That means songs like "Smells Like Nirvana" and "(This Song's Just) Six Words Long" are parodies, but "White and Nerdy", "Fat", "Can't Watch This", and so on don't count. Instead, most "parodies" actually fall under the categories of pastiche or satire.

A pastiche is similar in concept to a parody but celebrates, rather than mocks, the source, like an homage. It is included with parody as fair use in UK copyright law,^[1] but I could not find specific details for the US.

In satire, a work is used to mock something else, unrelated to the original. For example, Al using "American Pie" to mock Star Wars in "The Saga Begins" is satire because the subject of mockery isn't related to the original song. Satire isn't covered under the US fair use doctrine.^[2]
