Is there an MB Community on Reddit?

Any band that puts out a triple album, while still active as a band, should be shot.

Could you maybe link to this situation? I'd be interested to see what happened.

I liked reddit when you could actually see breaking news.

Facebook music groups are what I used to use more in my absence, until they became super bloated echo chambers. I would post a link, but I don't know how well that would go. If you want to see people constantly beg for an admin to post foot pics, join PMC. If you want to see people act like know it all idiots when all they do is listen to basic indie music, join >implying music is good.

Give it time. I came back, and it looks like others have too recently. Not sure if it's because people needed something that wasn't facebook, reddit, or 4chan, but I needed something smaller where my posts didn't get drowned in a sea of Charli XCX thirst posts.

And we know you're all about identity.

It's just that I've always wanted to ban you and that was the closest thing to satisfaction I was going to get until you really f*ck up.

If we get a series of puns rolling and some YouTube music videos with no commentary, then you can just link this thread for an MB experience preview.

Yeah, I mean there's nothing wrong with MB, except there isn't a lot of musical discussion. I used to post new music to Facebook, but since I got off the platform about 2 years ago, there's nowhere to suggest new stuff.

And when I post things here I'm lucky to get 2 relies.

One of the best compliments I saw on the boards was someone said "I can rely on you to post a video I would thoroughly enjoy. You open me up to so much new music." (not exact words but something like that.) I think it would great if someone has so much musical knowledge that people can rely on them to discover new music.

The forum in it's halcyon days was the place to be cause it was a place where someone could rely on a member to file share an album he/she was looking for. But now there are so many music services out there MB lost that aspect. Then Music Banter went into critical mode, where all you can do it to critique music -- music that could be found on other sites like YT or Spotify. Somehow I think MB is past "critical mode" and is now in "conversational lounge mode." Perhaps "critical mode" and "conversational lounge mode" existed concurrently at the same time, it's just the music critiquing has faded into the background.

That's just because you bring a rock niche that's not very often discussed on the site with your threads. Just keep chugging and the musical discussion will find you.
