Does anyone else not listen to music anymore?

[Baskol1]

I dont listen to music anymore, i cant stand music anymore, doesnt matter what music. Does anyone else have the same feeling? Did you stop listen to music too? If yes, why did you stop listen to music altogether?

 

[ReverendGreen]

There's periods of time when I can't stand anything I listen to but the thought of going an entire day without listening to any songs or albums seems impossible.

 

[Hexen]

I listen to music all the time and I haven't yet gotten bored of it. But of course if I listen to it too much then it gets too much and I need to rest my ears.

I used to love listening to music up to about 8 years ago. I can tolerate it. But I won't go out the way to listen on purpose.

 

[Conflicted Cat]

Lyrical music anyway... There are barely any song lyrics I can find that connect to me. I'm more of an instrumental music kinda guy.

Instrumental > Lyrics.

 

[The.End]

I recently stopped listen to all lyrical music. My reason is, I felt like listening all those lyrics were having too much of an influence on my mind and the way I think.

Now I only listen to music without lyrics now.

Yes. Music used to be my life. As a dancer, dj, lover of music. I met the guy ladt summer. We met at club. I played music with him. We danced. The ptsd. The trauma. The thing i loved so much, which got me through life has become my main trigger. I want to die. I got robbed in the worst way.

 

[k75]

Yes. Funny part is, I didn't even realize it until a neighbor came in the other day and commented on how it was way too quiet inside my apartment and asked what I did all day. And I didn't have an answer. I don't know when the music stopped for me.

You dont do much either?

Nothing brings me joy or pleasure anymore.

 

[CURSED again]

i was hugely into music all my life (lots of diff kinds) until recently with my problems and depression - my favorite time on earth was late 70's and going to see new wave and punk bands

 

[ThriveOrDie]

I stopped for a really long time but recently started forcing myself to listen to upbeat music to lighten my mood a little.

 

[nzdarkshark]

I love music - but I've noticed Ive started listening to it less and less. I also use my computer less - which is crazy because I had an internet addiction for many years.

I have to listen to music. It helps me cope with the absolute shittyness of life. I also like tv & movies. I would still prefer to be dead though.

I usually flip through the music channels on the cable. When I'm tired of something I change it to something else.

 

[Tabbyql]

Yeah I avoid as much as i can, as most songs can make me cry I have to be super careful what I listen to. Else I end up a blubbering mess and harm my self or worse.

Most music is garbage anyway.

 

[mathieu]

I have stopped listening to it before, when more depressed. At the moment I still enjoy it at certain times.

Are you male or female? My guess is female.

 

[Sailfisher]

No music and no TV. Both stopped being of interest almost a year ago.

 

[Wolfjob_dayjob]

To OP I put the sad react only cause you said "anymore" implying you used to listen to some. I fill quiet and ruminating thoughts with music and podcasts, if I were to drop them id know I'm getting Bad™ again...like not leaving the bed bad....so I feel for you.

 

[Wayfaerer]

I only listen to music on the days where I double my dose of phenibut. Otherwise, too depressed.

 

[HGL91]

I can't listen to music care-free anymore like I did as a teen, growing up in Los Angeles, and meeting too many people who have been in the Music Industry.

I just think about how Music is a job like anything else, and the musicians may not even play the instruments (ie. The band, The Monkees), or they're tired of playing the same songs, the singer is probably also tired of singing the same song over and over and they didn't even come up with the lyrics. It was actually probably a songwriter from another country, following a writing formula they've done over and over. Maybe the singer doesn't even actually sing, (For example, Britney Spears older songs were actually sung by a petite, Asian woman.) Britney was just the pretty, Caucasian, dancing puppet.

 

[GinaIsReady]

It doesn't bring me the joy it once did. Maybe it will again some day.

EDIT: ok, this one by SpaceHog gets me smiling every single time.

 

[IsadoraBeauxdraps]

I Love listen to music but it became too exhausting for me since I'm suicidal. I'm oversensitive and sometimes I feel I could go insane when my emotions explode.

 

[mynameispaige]

I don't listen to music anymore. I know some people find comfort in listening to music that relates to them. But when I do it I become obsessed and trapped in those bad feelings. Then it's so hard to get out of it. And while I think I want to kill myself. I feel like doing that just gives me more unnecessary pain while I'm here.

Leave Britney Alone Sorry ... I couldn't help myself.

 

[Dead Horse]

I have almost stopped listening to music, but not entirely yet. It's not that I can't stand it but it just doesn't do anything for me most of the time.
I used to live with earphones in my ears. Not anymore.
I put on some music when I fall asleep, though, so I can listen to something when I have nothing else to distract myself.

Lol I remember that. I have nothing against her as a person. And she was always a great dancer, and very cute, but she cannot sing.

My mom was actually her Private Nurse when Britney Spears had her first baby at UCLA. She said Britney was very polite, always saying "yes ma'am", and her mom would come over on the weekends to do laundry for her, Kevin Federline and the baby, which I thought was weird, considering she had enough money to buy a house in Malibu and could pay someone to do that stuff. They had to keep the curtains closed because there were paparazzi helicopters in the back, so the newborn baby had yellow skin from not getting any sunlight.

Sad that she can't sing. I don't mind her music even though I like hard rock the most. We just like our pop stars to be pretty.
I guess she didn't want a stranger going through her clothes. Probably didn't want them ending up on E-Bay.
That sucks that they had to do that. Good thing I'm not famous and I'm ugly I don't have to worry about paparazzi or anyone else wanting pics.
