Hm. Thor when I read your post I rather ask myself how often I offended you when I made fun of Hans Zimmer or your dislike of expansions.
I mean, it might sting a little, but nothing that really makes an impact. It’s fine. After all, it’s different when it comes from fellow film music fans. I think the issue was more when there are uninformed, prejudiced dismissals from people who are not into film music to begin with. A complete dismissal of the entire artform. At least that’s how I remember it from almost 20 years ago. It’s rare that I meet these comments now.
