I should've came here early... It's exicting to map in first time, but it gets bored when you map too much. It gets exicting to map again when you haven't mapped for ages.

That was just a way of saying "for fun". There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

the reason why i'm mapping is to make people happy, well i don't have many experience about mapping. but i will try harder

i don't like to be popular just because mapping, i just want my creation will make people happy.

not aiming to be famous
not aiming for ranked maps

always be happy for mapping :D

i just do it so i can make my own beatmaps, wish i knew how to use my own music instead of the music made my suggested artists

a little late to add my opinion

I have mapped songs because I am sure there might be other people that like the same songs I like
I map songs for everyone not just myself
I want people to be able to enjoy their favorite songs
that is why I map songs

all of mine are japanese songs or korean

oh hey im late too brother

i map mainly for expression, and for the songs i love.

as of now, i'm mainly mapping one artist (though i guess im beginning to open up to other artists now). the artist uses themes which i appreciate, and i try to incorporate them into my mapping. for instance, their latest album laments on the practice of literary and musical plagiarism. i express this by looking at the famous maps when osu! gained popularity such as Highscore, a few modern maps, a few graveyard maps, and a few of my own maps. i copy ideas from those maps and blatantly copy then into the maps of the album.

i've done this two other times (one is a double-album with references of my own accross mapsets, and the other is a loosely selected set of beatmaps which try to relive my experience as a player by replicating styles from 2 years ago, but that last one is still pretty fresh with just one song on the list) but all of them are incomplete, because i cannot push myself.

this looks so self gratifying of a post hahah... if it comes across like that, nothing i can do to change your mind

anyway, that's my idea of expression. it's reliant on reference and context, so i doubt if all of them become appreciated, more so for the same reasons. also, i don't strictly implement this as i sound. i'd say it's an expression for mappers rather than for players. actually, maybe it's all just for myself.

I map, or at least attempt to map in Catch so that I can create something that other people could play and enjoy.

I think I'm actually close to finding that spark that makes me competent in mapping enough to get a Catch map ranked.
