^True, I've seen myself how many newbs join up only to write a two-line introduction thread in the introductions forum .. I almost only reply in there if the person has written a thread that I see something interesting in and that happens rarely. I think if you're introducing yourself to a new community that you want to be a part of, then you should put some effort into making a good first impression. A lot of people who want to join up here seems to think that 2 lines that most likely say nothing is enough.
Another thing I thought about earlier is pop music. Pop music has a lot of opposition here and often when people admit to liking it, it's like they're admitting to having a disease or a weakness. I understand perfectly why a lot of people are against pop and I have my own ideas why it sucks, but I think most of us like something from that "genre" (a lot of pop gets mentions in the unpopular music opinions thread). My "weakness" is that I like some of the pop to come out of the 80s. I'll admit a lot of it is horrible, but I just can't help it. It's a part of my taste where I think me and the hive mind don't quite agree.
