I’m assuming everyone here listens to music somewhat regularly, but I’m curious about how much you care about it. And i specifically want to know about your enjoyment regardless if it’s considered a timeless masterpiece or just a meme song. (feel free to share you favorite artists while respecting other’s tastes)
Do you care about having decent enough devices to enjoy it or do you just buy the cheapest pair of earbuds to silence the world around you?
Do you have favorite albums or do you just hit play on a random playlist and zone out?
Do you ever listen to music just to enjoy it and nothing else?
Do you talk with passion about your favorite songs/albums/artists?
Do you spend time searching for music?
TL;DR is music art or content to you?
Check the profile, baby.
Seriously, though, I’d rather be blind than deaf. That’s how much.

Woah, I almost wanna say the same too, but on second thought, I’d rather be deaf than blind - that’s because I think eyes are the windows to a person’s soul, and I can peer into anyone’s soul just by eye contact. Too bad my eyesight is aging faster than the rest of me.
Eyes aren’t windows to anything. Eyecontact is something most of us are wired to crave, to view as intimate, and it’s a shortcut to feelings of trust and understanding. Salesfolk, public speakers, and con artist are all trained to exploit this to be one more effective.
I cant really tell the difference between mid range and high quality gear/music but I can’t stand low quality gear/music.
I never listen to playlists or individual songs, albums all the way! It’s the way the artist intended it after all!
Yes I regularly just listen to music. Especially when no one else is in the house I’ll turn up the sound system and listen to some nice albums.
Definitely! Jazz is the most underrated music genre, most people don’t give jazz the chance it deserves because they think it’s for old people (as a young person I can tell you it’s not) Progressive rock is amazing, the prophets song from queen is one of queens best songs. And Radio head is over-hyped.
I mostly get music from friends and other people that are interested in music.

Exactly. Listening an album tells a story.

I like many different, amazing types of music.
I care about Creative Commons music.
Professor Kliq, Aydio, DML grunfeld, Dusted Wax, Xera Lliendes, NIN, Grace Valhalla, ChillOhm, Toucan Music.
I care about these tunes, because I feel that these artists have shared a little more with me.
“Music… I don’t like music.”
–Bill McNeal (Newsradio)Music itself is important. But for me actively listening to it is not as much. If I am in silence I start to sing - hum random folk songs and I won’t even notice that I’m doing it. So I do need music or an audiobook so people won’t get annoyed with my antics.
It is a very weird situation, because while I don’t actively seeking music and I don’t really notice mid quality speakers - my phone still has about 20gigs of mp3s.After all those years of collecting mp3s, I barely listen to any of it. I’m just kind of losing interest in music over time. If I’m out with my earbuds in, it’s rather listen to a podcast or something.
Maybe it’s because there’s so little good music nowadays and discovering new music isn’t as easy as it once was
I would be curious about how today’s discovery is worse that the past, considering that you can access huge catalogues for free and that forums exist. And generalising all new music just doesn’t make sense to me, you should give it an honest try and maybe start enjoying music again
Filesharing is nothing like it was before. You can find stuff on YouTube etc that keeps recommending the same things but it just seems so tedious now. It’s not like back when we’d hear new things on the radio and you could download albums with that artist to discover similar music.
More than the artists themselves tbh. I can separate the 2. I don’t believe being gifted with talent automagically makes you a good person and therefore, I don’t see much sense in treating them like royalty or saints. They ain’t. The only real golden thing is the music. That is all. I ain’t wasting money on lousy merch.
I don’t care about music. I keep listening to the same music folder since 2010 so that I don’t fall asleep while driving. Although lately I have been including some anime music I have been encountering. In case it is to listen something in the computer, I use the cheapest gear possible.
