Well, being a newbie i must say, I enjoy this place. I wish there was more I could contribute to the musical conversations. I simply don't know too much about punk, rap, etc.
So, rather than make myself look foolish, I simply stick to commenting on the things I know something about, mainly classic rock. I'm pretty proficient in 70's one hit wonders, as well.
I personally don't see the point in jumping into a discussion if you you've nothing to add, or debate. "This sucks", or, "I hate (insert band/artist here)" merely shows you don't really know anything about the topic at hand. If you did, at least you could say "I think this band sucks because...". At least then, you would be contributing at the very least, your point of view.
Music is subjective to the listener's ear. If you enjoy it, it's good music. That's what it all comes down to really.
