Music is my own private little thing, a hobby, a means of escapism, and is not related to anything else in my daily life.
I don't even bother to talk with friends or other people about the music I listen, because they usually have such undeveloped taste in music or lack of interest, that I find it a useless discussion.
I do like to talk about it, that was the reason why I started to visit this forum in the first place
Why should the music you listen influence your way of life? I never understood. Just follow your own path and let the music be music... I never cared for anything else around it, just the music.
