They will deny that.
Talking about music you like is synonymous with talking about yourself. And when people "listen", they're simply waiting for their turn to talk. Music discussion is a majority percent: self-love.
Same goes for other discussion, which is why you can consider this masturbation.
People often defend their music preference with as much vigor as they would defend their own morality. The intensity at which they do so speaks volumes about their personalities. And then other times, it's just a case of someone not knowing what they like until enough people tell them what it should be.
Music preference is, at all times, a virus.
There are an embarrassing amount of people here that are likely to misinterpret the above bullet.
Vanilla is horny 100 percent of the time. This cannot be refuted.

^^ Then why do you stay if that's all you've learnt? Or are we all just trying to be witty?

That is one thing I've learned from Musicbanter that isn't music related, everyone is attention seeking, and almost always does no one like to give praise where it is due simply because everyone here wants that praise. Which is sad really..

MB has taught me that no matter how long I live there is certain horrible music from the 90s that I will never escape.

Oh come on... I obviously find out about new music. But that's to be expected. Why would I sit here and waste time making a post that absolutely everyone else here knows by default?

I like this place. I get something out of it. But I don't have to explain that to you if you're looking for some kind of validation for me being here. You do you, and I'll do me. That's about as much as you really need to know.

I learned I'll never complete any project in a reasonable amount of time.

^ Me too. Well, I always knew that... but the idea really crystallized here.

Not as long as there are still angsty 13 year olds discovering Nirvana for the first time, then learning that you were their age when it all happened.

Music Banter has taught me that there are far more miserable, pretentious douchenozzles out there than I'd ever previously imagined.

However, aforementioned miserable, pretentious douchenozzles are pretty good at giving music recommendations and getting me into subgenres I never would've considered on my own.

Well I don't think MB really taught me anything in particular. It mainly helped me break out of my shell and delve into other genres. Not many people here are into club oriented electronic music, so at first I felt awkward. But now my tastes are far weirder and now it takes 10x as long to find new music.

Thanks MB
