Why do you listen to music?

I also like listening to music while travelling (also preferably in a car [which would be my BMW {a Z3 to be precise <you know, the convertible «it has bloody good I.C.E!»>}])

Must. Not. Resort. To. Violence.

LOL 5 stars just for that tbh.

I liked it. It was my favourite track at the time, now it probably is not (I haven't listened to it in a while).

Out of interest, how did you find the song?

As you said, it's relatively obscure - well maybe not obscure but I wouldn't say it's particularly mainstream, and as far as I know it wasn't a single, so has had little to no airplay. For someone who doesn't like music to find it is quite a fluke, surely?

I'm not picking, I'm genuinely curious.
 
With me it's just become a habit. I might try going a few days without for a bit. Overindulgence and degradation of the senses can only be a bad thing. Music is very much like a drug, I'm hooked. If I play the same piece of music over and over pretty soon it gets boring and has no effect and doesn't stir the same emotions etc., so then I have to move on to something else, forever hunting for the next hit. (pun intended? - possibly)

Music is very clever stuff, it has a lot of different levels on which it can be enjoyed. I absolutely hated it and didn't see the point until I was around 13 and saw Oasis on Top Of The Pops. There was something in it I could relate to, so I got interested, started to buy records, started to think about how it had been made, the lyrics, song structures, technical ability required, bought a guitar, learned a load of stuff, moved on from simple to more 'harder stuff' (more complex/heavier) when I got bored. It became one of my many hobbies/obsessions and I pushed it as far as I could be bothered to. Also it's a good way to be sociable but as usual with things I take an interest in I be sociable to enhance the hobby not have a hobby to enhance my social life. But over-analyzing and overexposure to things takes away their magic for me, so now most music I find pretty boring, but I keep listening in case I come across something unique or realize something new about something I have played to death. There's probably a lot more to it than this, like putting something on to enhance mood etc but out of the handful of posts I read no one had this take on it so here you go.

Edit: One other thing I would add is that the type of music you listen to/are involved in can have a strong tie with/impact on identity and lifestyle, which one influences the other I don't know, e.g. feeling as though you belong to a certain group/trend which at the same time has some sort of uniqueness associated with it which distinguishes you from other groups. It can influence what clothes you wear, how you speak, hairstyles (although never has with me).

To be fair (based on your attire [ which you were wearing {in the picture < posted in the thread you mentioned>}]) the 'chav' like robot seems a pretty accurate representation.

Please can you not post unhelpful comments such as this. I have discussed this (under duress) in another thread, and I would like to leave this one for the intended conversation (the one I referred to was locked [not something I want to happen to this one]).

I'm serious, I've never seen you using these annoying and unnesessary brackets or using weird syntax until the last week or so, it's not logical. ;)

I post in a similar manner always. The reason people keep saying that I am posting in a strange way is because they are analysing every character (it seems) of my posts. I use the same bracket system on all three forums I frequent, and until about one week ago there were no problems on OcUK. (Please can we get back to the subject at hand for the aforementioned [in previous posts] reasons).

No you don't, your old posts are no where near as bad as they are now.

The most you did was use normal brackets ocassionally, posts were normal.

Now you use two or three types of brackets in nearly every post and completely different syntax.

Perhaps reading the thread entitled: "picture of yourself" would give a much more accurate representation of me.

I dislike the look of that image, and I find the robot to be very odd; it doesn't seem all that useful (not as useful as me I suspect [I can easily ascend stairs {the robot looks like it cannot}]).

Translated: "Look in the 'picture of yourself' thread and you'll see the real me, that robot looks crap, nothing like me."

No need for the rest. & I'm sorry. :)
