isn't 8/8 just 4/4 with eighth notes?
and 4/8, isn't that the same thing in 2/4?

I don't know really, I'm just talking about things I don't fully understand, I might throw a long word in in a minute

so why classify things as 4/8 if there is no such thing?
It's about the pulse of the music. It's more prominent in classical pieces, but it's to do with phrasing. You know this shit.
