Why exactly do you care if music you enjoy listening to is also enjoyed by others? If you enjoy it and the musicians are making it what else is there?

Plenty of artists are just making art for themselves.

Plenty of people live in the woods. If we all lived in the woods everything would be fine! I'm sure our GDP wouldn't fall and no one would starve to death at all. Nope; Not a bit.

Why don't we all just wear VR headsets all day?

LOL enjoy your atomized Balkanized tower of Babel existence. If it has to be explained then you're consitutionally incapable of understanding it anyway.

I think you're thinking way to hard about this my friend. What part of seeing a local band at a bar or listening to family members make music leads you to bring up GDP and VR? Either you're completely misunderstanding this discussion or you're extremely out of touch.

LOL the classic "if I play dumb long enough he'll call me dumb and get banned"

You're disgusting.

Either that or you actually spit on the very idea of community and shared culture in which case you are yet more disgusting and are my enemy.

What gave you the idea that I'm not interested in community and shared culture? That's precisely what I'm promoting. My point was that it doesn't matter what's popular in the mainstream.

This is no place for personal insults, so I'll call it here as this clearly isn't a genuine exchange.

What gave me the idea?

>If you enjoy it and the musicians are making it what else is there?

LOL.

Also, a kiwi, a german, and an uzbek in a discord channel does not a community make. I'm talking about people playing banjo on their porch because that is what people do in their community and their region
