Music haters. What's with them? I wanted to ask this group because I feel I would gain some great insights from all of you.

I have two facebook acounts. One is more for the professional side, the other is more the personal side.

The professional one remains mostly, but not even close to entirely, positive towards one and other.

The personal one, I am surprised at how many people will start a thread about music or songs they don't like! Even more, it's amazing how many people jump in on the thread!

The other side is when someone posts something they do like and someone jumps in with how they hate it. Why? Any ideas?

Do they crave attention? Are they feeling insignificant? Do they feel they are so much more significant?

That is just so weird to me! The whole thing. No one part, all of it!

What do they get from it?

Thanks for any thoughts on the subject!

Interesting thread and yeah, I've met people like that. Quite a lot, when I think about it.

They always appear to be, for whatever reason, basically unhappy individuals and I suspect they harbour a resentment for the happy people in the world which permeates all their contact with them. I try to avoid these people wherever possible in case it's contagious.

Universal. Human nature. Happens here too but not nearly as much as other forums. People here are a bit more invested in that they have something here that they want/need (tech support, comments/affirmation on their songs, etc.) Forums where you remain completely anonymous and have little vested interest in your online persona tend to be far worse!

A really simple "real-world" example is how people behave in their cars vs. how they behave in person in a simple line at the bank. The car provides some level of anonimity and protection and people often behave much worse toward others in their car compared to how they act face to face.

Also, the simple fact that there is no allowance of political or religious talk here really helps keep the forum civil!

Agreed. But it one thing to be unhappy. It's another thing to go out of your way to start a thread about hating some band, or type of music...anything like that.

That's the part that leaves me wondering.

I hadn't thought of that! Great observation!

Agreed. But this is a bit different. Those are usually reactions. Like being cut off and someone giving the finger. I'm talking about initiating the action.

very true. But this isn't even that.

Right...that's just talking about preference. But to go far enough to start a conversation about disliking something seems odd to me. Not for the purpose of change so much as complain.

It's still the same. Pretty transparent and straight forward with it. You are making it seem as though there is a hidden agenda or something. lol

Some people start crap in public because they don't like the way someone is dressed. Or their race. Or whether they stand or sit for a song! Some people just love to start crap!

I think music affects people's emotions at a deep level more frequently than some other art forms. People are subjected to music throughout the day and over time learn to associate certain feelings with certain songs. It's REAL easy for a song to develop negative feelings due to over play; think "Stairway To Heaven", "Yesterday" or "You Light Up My Life". Each song is a good song and a song I use to enjoy hearing. Now? Ugh!

Wow! That's a great point!

Not to mention, when you hear another song from the band you may get the "it's the same thing" type of feeling.

Interesting.

Well....

I think the crux of it is very simple.

Any post, comment or inquiry on an open, public forum will can always be interpreted as just an invitation for anyone to chime in with their (frequently irrelevant) opinion even if they're not actually addressing the OP's question.

Example - random forum post subject:
"Who here likes the group Pafoffner and Chandeliers?"
Someone will always think they can answer the post with:
"I think they suck."

Well...that didn't answer, nor was it at all relative to the post question....why did that person even respond? (see paragraph #2)
It's totally baffling to me.

That's my take on it.

Carry on....

I am having the hardest time trying to figure out if that's a double negative! LOL I'm not sure why. I'm usually good at that! I think it is...but then on the other hand maybe it isn't not one.

Another factor is anonymity. People are much more prone to rant and rave and act like complete morons online.

Get them on a phone call, it's not quite as bad.

Face-to-face and you finally get complete honesty.

LOL, yes they can!

But I'm even amazed at how many people you ask "so what do you listen to?" or "what kind of music do you like?" and they respond with "I like everything EXCEPT country. I hate that crap!" or "I can't stand Nickelback!"

I always find that so odd.

I can't imagine someone saying to me "What kind of food do you like?" and me replying with "Big macs suck!" I think they would think I was strange. I have PLENTY of other reasons they could think I'm odd without that comment! wink

Also, to clarify, I don't think big macs suck wink

I do see it happen on here from time to time as well, so I am just curious the mentality behind it. I'm sure it's habit to a point, but how do you get to that?

Sorry if this subject doesn't fit the norm. People fascinate me. Me being one of them; I learn more about myself at times from others.

Thanks for all of the replies!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
