Reply to comment by Apostate_Nate in Why you hate Muse if you hate Muse and why you love Muse if you love Muse? by wickedexpectation

LOL. I'm a musician too and have been playing since the 1970s. TBH, I don't think being musicians entitles us to judge whether other people's life priorities preclude their having a strong emotional response to music.

What really puzzles me is that you responded to my comment with a rant about not hating when the only emotion my comment addressed was love.

Funny old world...

There is, again, a big difference between having a strong emotional response to music, and translating that to an emotional response to the person or people who made that music.

And I addressed hate because it's a far more important idea to understand negativity and why it occurs, in my opinion. Actual love (non possessive, freely given, etc) is positive in all forms. But love of a person because of a sound they created is the other side of the coin. I addressed the side that I feel is more important, not hating someone because of a sound they created, as hate isn't healthy in any form.

Edit - and you haven't seen me rant lol. That was a single paragraph.
