I remember almost every conversation and every argument I had with someone irl about music tho. I really don't remember any extensive conversation on MB. Mostly on my part it's more like reading what someone has written. Not much a back and forth dialog, not quite what I expected it to be.

Conversations I had with Mel, Paul, Hermione and Silenzio in plug are the ones I remember the most. Paul went to every conceivable concert imagine. Hermione has pretty cool taste, likes few of the same bands I do. Both Mel and Silenzio are musicians and know quite a bit about classical music. As soon as I almost get to know someone, they are off consumed by the things irl, like Blar...

I do that too. I know a few people (in real life) that devote themselves to a single genre, I remember a few people who were like that irl. One guy only listen Jazz and would never consider listening to Rock. Another guy was solely into Soul music. My cousins are very much into Heavy Metal and nothing else.

I think you get that here too. One person might be into fourth wave emo and another is totally into totally into The Beatles and another into totally Madonna. You have to know what I mean, right?
