I just started posting recently, too, after lurking for a while. I think I heard about this site from MetaFilter, although I don't remember for sure. I'm mainly looking for something to distract me from grad school.

be forewarned, there are ilx threads i now remember more clearly than entire classes i took while getting my masters

ilx is more educational than most grad school classes, and your supervisor can't grope you and threaten to withhold your recommendation letters here

As someone who first read about ilx on 4chan's music board in late 2013, I am now certain I've assimilated here over the course of past years, to the point where I have generic ilx music taste and generic ilx opinions.
Lurking because my poor English and starstruck. Too young for this place, too (24).

You can also mine the threads for quotes to use in academic papers:

I used to periodically post here over a decade ago, before I got into classical music, which is an itch ILM doesn't properly scratch. Now that I've reverted to a more omnivorous diet, this place has its charms. The metal threads in particular are incredibly helpful.

ILM is an important safe space from people who don't like it.
― nashwan, Thursday, 13 April 2017 12:15 (seven years ago) link
I've been visiting since 2001 and quite frankly don't notice a difference but maybe I've been more sporadic in attention compared to some other veterans.
Don't get concerned with volume, just contribute to quality. It's especially important now in the modern era where there are attacks on institutions and sensibilities that provide the fuel for this art that we all love.

Though he insists on showing up periodically to tell ILM how terrible it Is, like a drunk at the side of the road shaking his fist at passing cars.

"It's especially important now in the modern era where there are attacks on institutions and sensibilities that provide the fuel for this art that we all love."
see various led zeppelin threads for the very worrying diminishment of music's greatest institution and the finely-tuned sensibilities of its four members who helped shaped the course of rock N roll, and indeed culture, for generations to come.

when ilm went pop it started resenting rockists' need to rationalize music tastes and as the new reigning queens make sure rock discourse is kept to a minimum

bad puns, if you're wondering. the ultimate outcome of all music discussion when critical discourse becomes meaningless. i'm a little disappointed that y'all are bringing the floyd puns harder than my old school floyd homies, though.

i think critical discourse becomes meaningless as soon as syd barrett left the band because that's the real pink floyd, dude

yeah i agree, if you're talking about pink floyd at all in 2017 it better be bad puns and discussions of shag-carpeted vans.
