Does this happen to you too?

Yes, it's happened to me, but tbh I couldn't give a toss.

All of them are awesome musicians, and the video is awesome too, yet no-one reacted (except for Jean, but since she is my wife she does not really count). I find this really disappointing. Are all of you here really such musical morons?

I checked out that video but the music didn't excite me. If that makes me a "musical moron", so be it. The reasoning for even positing such a "moronic" question (or question of idiocy I should say) which I infer from your post does not seem sound to me -- nor charitably expressed. I'd rather be an idiot savant with a musical gift, but I'll settle for being a plain old idiot.

I have done many topics, including posting music I love, that got no response, or when someone responded it was tangential at best. It can be disappointing as I hope to discuss such things with people, but I don't take it really personally. Sometimes it's just not having the right people logged-in when one posts, and topics can quickly fall off the Latest Forum Posts list, and then not get much notice especially in the non-Prog fora. Sometimes I have been surprised when certain topics I made didn't get any response. One thing one might want to consider is, how often does oneself check out topics with music or other media of which one is unfamiliar, take the time to check out the media that other people post, and then opt to comment on those? I used to do that more.

^^ It happens all the time to me, that I feel, things I posted are ignored. The first 3 years on this forum it was very frustrating. But in the mean time I do not care any more. Luckily I have another life outside the forum.

It happens to me all the time. I tend not to start many threads. Only occasionally. We're not all in this for the same thing. Like Mickey said a lot of us are not into discovering new music. I am, but only very slowly and occasionally do I get into new modern acts. Even if I did, there is so much of it and I would not hypothetically be interested in, let's say, the same sort of keyboard heavy group that another PA member may be interested in. There is and can be no canon for everyone to converge on. Or unless there is, then someone will call it the same old tired stuff. But I've opened threads on a very experimental guitarist, Henry Kaiser. He's been around for a good long while, but he's one who continues to churn out very Avant and varied material and it's generally ignored. I reject the idea that new and fresh can only be done by young people, though some act as if that's the case. Yes, I'm discovering more recent artists [one just recently has been Intervals], but it takes time and I don't have much of it. My real priority goes toward understanding more deeply the music and the creative process behind music. If it's not the priority of others, perhaps because they are not musicians themselves, that's alright, but we should understand that diversity. It has been much to my chagrin how little activity there is in Music and Musicians Echange and Tech Talk. Those sections of PA are virtual deserts almost as bad as the Blogs section. Well, that's my bit; one just needs to be realistic and know that we're not all here for the same thing. Mickey thinks it's strange that we don't all want the latest and freshest. I think it's strange that we don't all want to know who uses the "Snake Charmer" scale. Oh well. Such as it its.
