Age (Optional):
15

Location:
Scotland

Music preference:
Punk and Punk related genres mostly. But i'm pretty varied and have albums from alll big genres.

How long have you been a member?
Just over a year.

What made you join a music forum?
The people on music forums had a common interest and I was looking to expand a little. Very few people in real life have the musical knowledge or even the general smarts.

How come you choose MB as your music community over other music communities?
It wasn't my first music forum, I had joined a few others and decided they weren't for me. I googled "music forum" and this came up, I made an account and I lurked for a month allowing me to see it had a good sense of community and all the members were really knowledgable. To the point I was a little nervous to post for a while.

How does Music make you feel and what it means to you?
It may sound a bit cliche but music seriously is my life. It can change how I'm feeling almost all the time and when I'm a bit down and thinking "what's the point?" music really is one of the reasons I cite as a great thing about life. It's basically the biggest interest I have and it allows me to strike up a conversation with a lot of people.

Tell me what makes the MB online forum work for you and keep you coming back for more?
I made great friends and got some awesome recommendations.

Describe an interesting experience you had on the forum?
Too many.


What have you learned or what will you take away from your experiences here?
I have learned that music is a lot bigger than I had previously thought with hundreds of musical genres and scenes left to explore. I also learned a lot about people, how they work and came to the realisation that I'm not that unique and somewhere there are people like me.



Let me know of any other points that you feel might interest me negative/positive about your experiences regarding being involved in a Music forum and its Members, now's your chance?
Other member's behavior can rub off on you and change you a little. Case in point, before I joined I would never judge someone based on their music taste. Now I sometimes do.
