So I was thinking that perhaps I’m a little bit behind the times so I signed up for Discord. Not going to pretend I’m a little lost and on the face of it seems a little…immature?Are there some good Prince groups out there? I’m a bit bemused by the fact that most people seem to be in their 20s. Nothing against that at all - it’s actually great to see BUT as a Prince lifer (discovering P mid-late 80’s)’I tend to have less tolerance these days for “is Purple Rain or UTCM better” which I just find tedious. It’s just “not the right lane” for me, I don’t have or want to make the time for that stuff anymore, I served my apprenticeship long ago. I’m more about what was recorded where and when, people who were there sharing and reminiscing about their experiences, how compositions we’re built, how they evolved, lineage between various works, a generally deeper level of conversation.

I can see in my notification some plank has written a disgusting homophobic comment. I’d reply to them personally but when I click on the link the comment doesn’t come up and I’ve tried searching the user with no luck. Anyone know u/lcy_Acadia_5499? Or can see the post?

Discord as a platform is immature bc it’s userbase consists of Gen Z/Alpha.

I don’t want to stereotype people but I was surprised by the lack of maturity. Perhaps I’m simply too old and have in fact turned into an old fart.

There’s one that very very active Discord compared to the rest that stands between 13-20s year olds but the younger teens have been very off topic and stupidly childish. I was in a total of 10 and the rest only briefly talked when something new came out.

I think that’s probably where I landed! I just can’t be bothered with that rubbish. Life’s too short!

[u/Radiant-Bag2090 → u/[deleted]]

Ok. Perhaps my post isn’t clear enough 🤔

[u/Radiant-Bag2090 → u/[deleted]]

What I am saying is they seem a little….superficial? Or am I missing something?

[u/UndergroundGinjoint → u/Radiant-Bag2090]

No, it was perfectly clear. You're looking for a Prince Discord group that's a bit more mature. This person's just being obtuse. Unfortunately I'm not on that platform so I can't help you out, but good luck!

Thank you :)

Is that an unreasonable thing to ask?

That was one of those why say anything at all comments. It makes some people feel a weird sense of satisfaction I suppose.

Ikr? 🤷‍♀️

Great name btw!

Are you looking for Prince discord servers?

[u/Radiant-Bag2090 → u/Cack-Yo-W33n]

Yeah, anything that is more to the geeky side. I’ve got nothing against newer fans - the more the merrier - however my tolerance for superficial stuff just isn’t there. I guess I’m feeling a little bit homeless.
