I don't let a fear of being shot down by others stop me from expressing my opinions on music (Even though I haven't done much of this yet.) I want to make a review of a Tegan and Sara album and I know the responses won't be good, but it does not matter because it is music and this is a music forum and it could use some more of a diverse music base. I like what the " Hive " likes a lot. But I also like other things.
I also like talking about things that aren't particularly what everyone is talking about. I started a zodiac sign thread to start discussion on zodiac signs, although maybe I came across as being someone who follows them religiously or actually believes in most. I know that the general public of intellectual people know its BS. Still, it was a topic that interested me for that moment and I wanted to discuss it a little.
I also have a pretty big interest in Ska music, but not Reggae and not just SkaPunk/Core, and I don't see much current discussion going on in the Ska forum even though I tried to spark something a little, I don't feel like digging up old topics.
I'm not a big contributor but I do intend on staying on this forum for a little. But I'm notorious for liking something intensely for a period of time (whether it be a month or a year) and then when my interests shift, I drop the site. But I don't think I'll ever stop liking music. I don't think I'll ever stop wanting to expand my music knowledge. I might stop wanting to post in a forum that has a "hive"mentality, though, and I might stop wanting to post someplace where I'm not liked by the community. I don't see a lot of what I say going over that great... Oh well.
