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?
2·6 hours ago- Equipment: yeah, I have a decent set of speakers at home and headphones to listen while on the move. Sound quality matters, so a decent set is worth it for me.
- Albums vs random: I got used to listening stuff album-wise (with some albums not doing listening to their entirety takes away from the experience). As for favorites:
- “Feathers & Flesh” and “Dance Devil Dance” by Avatar,
- “Dead & Alive” by Parasite Inc.,
- “Faceless” and “The Oracle” - Godsmack.
- “Mezmerize” - SOAD
- Listening as the only activity: yeah, though more often than not I listen to music to drown out the world.
- Talk with others about it: too often. Though I’m afraid there’s very little ppl in my immediate surroundings that can dig into what I listen to 😅
- Spending time searching for music: not anymore, have a base I enjoy.
- Art or content: art. The feeling of chills going down my spine on a particularily well-constructed chorus / instrumental part is like no other feeling for me.
