What's up with that?

Well there are a few factors. It is easier to just casually jump into a lounge topic and post about something mundane.
Two. Music does get discussed but it is usually light conversations and it happens in Albums you are digging thread and What are you listening to now thread. Two threads that some people feel are the bane of this site and want to get rid of them which is completely stupid imo. The little music conversations that happen in there would die out and it wouldn't force people to create new threads. There would be even less musical discussion than what happens now.
Three. You might want to check the journals section. A good portion of in-depth music conversations goes on within that section but some people don't bother to look there because of lengthy journal entries. So they just look in the general music section, see that not matter threads are posted in and then think oh no music is being discussed.
Four. Some people like Alex has mentioned just aren't interested in some of the threads about certain bands that are available and when they create a thread about a band that they like they end up getting ignore because it's some niche obscure band that they love and not many others are interested in it. During the time that Alex loves so much there was a group of people that loved obscure, off the track bands and they all congregated together. Same thing with the Hardcore forums. There were a group of people that loved that genre and stayed mostly within that forum chit chatting about bands that they liked.
