Kafke has stated in the thread that music overall does not affect him the way it seems most people are affected by it. Therefore, JakobVirgil is responding to this overall sentiment, the lack of enjoyment of music as a whole, with his "I am sorry for your loss" as much as he is responding to the specific comment of Kafke's when Kafke states he is bored by the song and doesn't get it.
Sure, that's true, but again, that's not what JakobVirgil is responding to and that's not what Kafke has expressed with his post and throughout this thread. Kafke has clearly stated that music as a whole does not affect him the way it seems to affect others. It's not a matter of him not being a fan. JakobVirgil is not calling you colorblind because you found one particular song boring. JakobVirgil is comparing Kafke's specific experience and lack of connection with music similar to colorblindness because it's essentially the lack of a perception that most people seem to have (an appreciation of music).
Either JakobVirgil's too sure of a lot of things, or you're taking a conversation that's not about you and interpreting it to be about you.Just because someone doesn't particularly enjoy a certain genre doesn't mean they don't "get" music.
I got it. I understand the emotions within the song, as well as the overall "mood". Do I reflect that? no. Does it make me like the song more or less? no. This is correct. I can appreciate music I don't like just fine. I'm not a big fan of classical music, but I can recognize the skill and talent that went into it. But I'd say that my "lack of emotional responding" or whatever you'd call it, does indeed have an effect on my music taste. I would agree that it's similar to color blindness.he is bored by the song and doesn't get it.

Perhaps you were responding talking about people in general, predominantly using yourself as a specific example. Most of your sentences revolved around your perception of music and your opinions, which is why I interpreted your comment as being a personal one. His username is Kafke.
