Viola and Violin fight 

A fight between violists and violinists, people that play two of the most beautiful-sounding instruments in the string family. Even though both sides are to blame for constantly arguing, the violinists are mostly accused of starting the fight by creating and posting jokes about viola players.

E. g.

"What's the difference between firewood and a viola? Firewood burns longer."

The main argument that violinists use against viola players, is that viola is an easier instrument to learn. Which is accurate, to some degree, as the instrument is bigger than violin, thus, it is easier to avoid accidentally playing the wrong note. But let's not forget about the fact, that not everyone finds this an advantage.

Violin players often say, that viola players are just violinists who couldn't play the violin, because it was too difficult for them.
Person 1 "Hey, dude, how do you prevent your violin from getting stolen?"

Person 2 "I don't know. How?"

Person 1 "By keeping it in a viola case!"

Person 2 *laughs* "Viola sucks, am I right?"

Person 3 "That's not true! Both violin and viola have a beautiful sound!"

Person 1 & 2 "Dude, you're ruining the whole point of the viola and violin fight!"

Electric Violin 

The electric violin was invented for one reason, to fit in where its not supposed to. The normal violin is only in orchestras due to its sound but some runt decided to make it electric so it could play in bands. It is the instrument equivalent of putting on makeup to try to look pretty when u ugly AF to try to fit in with the "Popular Girls".
