Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.
The end music in Mega Man 3 used to move me to tears, but I never avoided beating the game because of it. I liked the effect, and I think that's part of why being a musician was so alluring to me. The ability to emotionally affect someone else, and even myself, for better or worse, is a powerful thing. There is NOTHING like the high of playing with other musicians and connecting so deeply it's transcendent. Nowadays, though, I try to elicit the 'FUCK YEAH!! Headbang!!' emotion. =)
