1. What is your favorite genre of music?
i hate this question....i think overall the majority of what i listen to would fall under the generic genre of Rock with a strong leaning towards Noise and Neofolk
2. Who are your favorite artists (at least at the moment).
Kiss The Anus of a Black Cat, Der Blutharsch and the Infinite Church of the Leading Hand, Seven That Spells, Neurosis, Jess and the Ancient Ones, Unsane, Dernière Volonté
3. How important is music in your life? How often do you listen to it?
it is by far the most important thing in my life that does not breathe; i actually drive for a living...so at least 6 hours a day
4. Why are you a member of Music Banter?
i actually came here because for years i posted on an anime forum.....about a year after joining there i came to realization that i....for the most part....can't stand anime and only posted in the "non anime music" threads.....in all honesty i got sick of contributing there and seemingly getting nothing in return.....after about a week of reading here i came to realization that many of the people who post here could offer me new genres and bands....and i think the same from myself
5. What does this community mean to you?
i come here pretty much daily...and i can certainly say that there are some people here i truly hope to meet in the real world....
6. Does your opinion of someone get better if you find that they enjoy the same music that you do?
Yes. It tends to be opening discussion when i meet new people. and i cannot lie when i go to someones house for the first time i immediately head to their music collection
7. Do you find yourself drawn to music that is less well known? Why or why not?
yeah i would say that the majority of what i listen to would be classified as "less well known"....i honestly feel that i could blame Throbbing gristle for this.....hearing them for the first time was absolutely life changing....and changed my mind about what should be "popular" music
8. Do you enjoy searching for new music/music you have never heard before? Is the act of searching for music as enjoyable as the music itself?
absolutely....i love looking for new music; Yes but....not like it was....there really was something ascertaining about looking and looking and looking for that album you heard about and finally finding it in some **** record shop on some off beat street in New York or San Fransisco
9. Do your friends outside this community listen to similar music that you do?
not one....i have several; friends who listen to many of the bands i love but none that listen to all of them....and most hate what i listen to
10. Would you consider yourself a music snob, an elitist, or even, dare I say, a hipster?
100% on the first two
11. What does music mean to you?
i think Hip Hop Bunny Hop put exactly like i feel
