I can’t live without it. I would be always unmotivated and unproductive without it

I don’t care much about the earbuds. I just buy the wireless earbuds with the longest battery life . To me it’s all about the artistic sound of music

With the amount of music I own. It’s too hard to pick music . I simply have one long playlists with all the music I own that i play in order. If I encounter a very good song from a good artist thanks to musicale paroral queues I can pause the library playlist listen to the full album then when finished resume to the last played song from the library playlists

No, arguing about the best albums, debating other opinions with obsession simply ruin the enjoyment of listening to music

Music is artistic audio content

I usually only listen to music when I’m doing something else, like driving.

I listen to a lot of game audio or background music though I couldn’t tell you who the artists are, only what game/movie they’re from.

I think that puts me into the ‘not really a music person’ category.

Music is everything to me. From playing the clarinet, to listening to frank Sinatra.

I love it. We all need it.

i don’t care about music.

Fun fact: I don’t like music. It’s not that I hate it but i can’t conect with music like people do. It’s just noise to me. Some don’t bother much others are like a knife to my ears. I had to have a full assessment because of this

Things I do:

• Maintain a large database of music, though primarily for archive purpose
• Write software for listening music, though it is far from done
• Maintain some overengineered smart playlist
• Occasionally search and purchase new albums

It’s primarily Vocaloid, so that’s probably why I can’t listen to it and focus on something else at the same time. Also probably why I can’t tell the difference between bad and good headphones. Some are meme songs too.

I deeply care about music. It is a part of my everyday life.

I don’t have high end devices to play from but I have different speakers, earbuds, or the car to play wherever I want basically.

I usually just make a random playlist of all the songs I own and go from there. Sometimes I want instrumental sometimes I want to sing. Just depends on what I feel like. I have lots of different tastes from The Calling to Beethoven. All the way to Sabrina Carpenter.

I listen to music by itself all the time. It is a different activity than just in the background. But I am also a singer so many of my song choices I actively sing to. I also sing in a choir and other events along with karaoke.

I talk about favorite music all the time with friends and family. Whether it’s how it makes me feel to seeing if they have heard anything cool recently.

I search for music constantly. I usually want to own my music so I use places like Bandcamp to purchase music. But I also have music from cds, online, or stuff from myself and my choirs.

Tldr- Music is definitely art that I believe can find someone at the right time to make them feel something.

I generally like music, some kinds more than other kinds. I’m especially fond of novelty music such as Weird Al.

But I don’t usually go out of my way to listen to music. Not even when driving. (But my wife sometimes does which I enjoy.)

But really it’s just not a big part of my life.

A lot, helps with emotional release.

Music is such a lifesaver that I should’ve found out about earlier. Like… after your parents yell at you, it would help a fucking lot to just let the sounds soothe you, or more like let you release your anger and sadness being being a “burden on your family”.

I actually haven’t listen much to English “Songs”. Like I mostly listen to video game music, sometimes even games I never played.

Like I like FTL music, Multiverse Mod music, Undertale, Deltarune, that one main theme of Detroit: Become Human, Stardew Valley, some random TV show theme songs, the Terminator theme, Anime Openings and Ending songs.

A lot of random classical music. Canon in D on a Piano.

A few random soundtracks from Life is Strange True Colors.

As for “songs” with vocals, my favorite are the 70s/80s/90s era Cantopop (Cantonese Popular Music) songs by 黃家駒 (Wong Ka Kui) and his band Beyond, especially 海闊天空 (“Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies”)(it’s like in the top 20 of Chinese Music Videos) and 光輝歲月 (“Glorious Years”)(song made in honor of Nelson Mandela), but as well as various others like 劉德華 (Andy Lau).

I first got interested because my dad grew up during those eras and I just decided to go googling. But, nowadays, it’s kinda conflicting on my emotions tho, since Cantonese reminds me of my parents yelling at me… so I kinda have to suppress my traumatic memories a bit to actually enjoy it. My brain automatically makes the “Cantonese = I’m about to get yelled at” subconscious associations lol. So I guess listening to this is a bit of desensitation therapy kinda of lol. As for Mandarin… it kinda… it kinda always sounds weird to me, even tho I am a native speaker of both Cantonese and Mandarin.

But TLDR: For the most part, I just love listening to Anime songs and Video Game Soundtracks.

Music kinda helps with depression, otherwise I’d just feel so “empty”.

I just grab the audiofile with a youtube downloader, and like put it in a folder. Maybe I should go archiving these things, but I’ve been procrastinating lol.

As for headphones, just some random cheap one under $100 made by those mainsteam manufacturers like Anker. I hate wires cuz it’s so annoying when it touches your neck, like sensory issues lol.

Not really an audiophile, and my stuff breaks too often, so I don’t wanna ever spend $200 again, just cheap ones will do. (“Boots Theory of Economics” doesn’t apply, I broke an expensive one before lol, there was barely any difference in quality, like I can barely tell the difference between a $200 and $100 one.)

Kinda rambled a lot, so idk if I typo’ed anything lol.

edit: typo

• Audiophile
• Gear whore
• Music is high art (our highest)
• Collect all I can
• love reading about musicians, composers, songwriters, their history, thinking about lyrics, concert tours, songwriting, covers etc…
• love all music from around the world all time periods I can get my hands on.

I hear it when it’s playing on a car radio or in an ad or on some show, and I acknowledge how music can spur an emotional response when used effectively, but I don’t regularly listen to it.

I’m assuming everyone here listens to music somewhat regularly

As somebody who does not regularly listen to music, I am curious why you would make this assumption.

re: art vs. content: I’m not sure of the distinction you’re making. Can you explain what you mean?

Great question! Music is important to me, but the sound quality isn’t something I fuss over.

I think the right music can entrance any situation, so I like exploring a lot of different genres to see if there’s something I like.

I’m currently trying to build the best Christmas music list (trying to get some of the mainstream stuff mixed in with a bunch of really deep cuts so it’ll keep the list from getting stale through all of December).

Music is art, and some songs can allow the composer to speak directly to your emotions.

I am not sure what u mean by “care” but as someone who grew up isolated music has always been my best friend… or to be more accurate the best coping mechanism haha, you can coast through your moods and twists and turns of your life much better when you have a song to match your innerstate, idk but its like a way to validate ur internal emotions (which can get intense) in a safe way, nothing better than screaming “so give me reasonnn, to prove me wrong” after feeling betrayed🫣

Music is almost a daily thing for me.

It’s either to listen while I’m doing something I want to focus on, ie work, hobby.

Just for recreation ie find new bands, watch guitar/bass/drum covers

I also listen to analyse certain elements of songs ie bass lines, riffs, drumming, keyboarding etc

I had some workers doing some work at my house not so long ago and one guy asked the other if he knew this song and he’s replied, I’m not really into music.

I was a bit taken back, to me that feels like a soulless life but each to their own! Life would be boring without music imo

I generally will always have a song in my head. Current track: Suffer in truth by Meshuggah… Why? I dunno just woke up with it playing lol
