I miss the cheek vents, but I like the latest costume... But wow, it's a shame people came down on you!

I'm just not active enough in the fandom, or haven't been lately. So I guess I've missed some of that.

I'm all for people being able to connect to bands on a personal level, when the band members are public about struggles that some of their fans might share, and I do believe it has the power to help people. To use my own high school years as an example, I grew up in such a small town, where there was no one around me who went through what I went through, and at the time I listened to a lot of... oh gosh, a lot of old Beach Boys and REM and Morrisey, and some other stuff. It was not nearly as personal as the SPG fandom gets to be, but I had music that I could listen to and feel like somewhere there was another human being who wrote this song because they felt something like what I felt. It was tremendously helpful, but at the same time, when I talk to people about fandom and about music, there are times when I don't want the focus to be personal, so I get where you're coming from.

Sometimes you just want to talk about the music.
