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?


I’m a big music lover. My preferred way of listening to music in an album played on a properly setup two channel system. When I had the means I had a great stereo setup and loved putting on a record or selecting something from my own digital music collection.
The majority of the time I listen to albums vs individual tracks or playlists. A good album front to back just does it for me. I’m fairly specific about what I listen to, I usually know exactly what I’m in the mood to hear. I’ve got albums I like to as background noise but for the most part I like to listen to music as it’s own activity. I’ve got favorite albums but that’s a rotating list thats incredibly inconsistent and changes daily.
I love talking music with people who love music. Even if it’s not music I normally listen to I love picking apart songs and talking what about you like/dislike about it. I’ve got some friends that are my main music buddies and we are constantly sharing new music we come across.
