There plenty of things being a hobby musician that my community does but the one lesser talked about one is Musicians will makes plans and 90% of the time there is no follow through. “We will be in touch” “we should do something” “you would be good for…” “give me your number” “email me” all essentially go nowhere. The only other people who might be less reliable are contractors doing home improvement.
That's why every band has a leader and a handful of other people that don't understand why their ideas aren't being acted on. Same thing happens in other group scenarios
The image this evokes is hilarious
Oops I meant to say "aren't" not "are" but I think you got the idea
LOL, I rely on this behavior.
"Yeah, let's do it. Just text me when you're ready!" Knowing fully that they will never follow through on their idea and I won't have to do the thing.
I've found this to be true in general once I started working. I don't feel kinda this was a thing when I was and was integrating with other students. I had to readjust my "responsible" self who actually would follow up (to people's horror) and tell myself it's a polite saying that people don't mean. Like when people greet each other with "How are you?", they generally actually do not want to know how the other person is doing. You're expected to say "fine" or "good" and deviating from that is violating an unspoken social contract.
