So anyone thinking there should be more "new"music - POST SOME.


I agree, but that's not at all what I'm talking about. This isn't about posting or not posting. It's about respecting people.

Second, when I want to check out a new product that has a board "off topic" is NOT where I look to find out how people feel about and use the product. It's the last place I'd go. I'd be looking at the showcase, new users, and the product forum threads.


I would check out the showcase AND the other areas. Younger people are VERY into culture, and what a company AND IT'S CONSUMERS stand for.

Third, I don't get the big deal and why this topic keeps coming up. We keep circling the same tree. There are always going to be people who say they can't stand so and so - who cares - if you like so and so what difference does it make - none - I'm sure I don't like some artists they like old or new.


It keeps coming up because those comments keep coming up. I'm not saying everyone should like the same thing. I'm saying we should be able to be respectful.

There is a HUGE difference between saying "Not my cup of tea" and "you couldn't pay me enough to listen to that $$%#!"

I don't think it's wrong to bring it up.

Let's get real. Start all the new topics, threads and forums you want and if somebody feels like spouting their opinion they are going to do it. Younger people have grown up on social media - they know this. Anybody who hasn't lived off the grid for the past twenty years knows this and is used to it. A civil discusssion is what we already have here. Nobody is cursing anybody out or calling anyone names for liking or not liking any artist or type of music.


Real? People have been cursed out on here at times. I've seen threads removed for it. I would also stay that it is VERY rare and overall pretty civil here.

As far as younger people growing up on social media, yes they are aware how it works. And they move on or create their own if they don't see what they want. Not their own threads, they simply move away from a product entirely.

Again, I don't see anything wrong in asking for respect.

Give people here a little credit. We don't need any more eggshells to walk on. This is one of the most civil forums out there. Sure, I'd like if everyone agreed with my taste but they don't. My closest friends from childhood and my husband likes artists I don't.


No eggshells.

Do your closest friends and husband call the music you like "crap" and the like? Honestly asking. Maybe they do.

Quote:
If someone not agreeing with someone else's opinion on musical taste bothers a person that much perhaps a little therapy is in order.


It's not about agreement. I'm not sure how else to say it. It's respect. There is a difference.
