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?

    1. I have the nicest listening devices I can afford to enjoy my music but on the go whatever works is sufficient.
    2. I have a plenty of favourites but I mostly listen to internet radio streams. Those are usually defined by genre or are just regular radios that play random stuff you can’t control
    3. Doing nothing but listening to the music is the best way to listen to music. Unfortunately real life is usually too busy for that.
    4. I don’t really have super favourites to the degree that I passionately talk about them but I do passionately advocate for art generally
    5. I keep a note of artists and albums to search and then I will occasionally download their stuff for my archive

    I think music is art although there seems to be a lot of “music” being made purely for content purposes these days, especially now that ai music is starting to invade streaming platforms. So I guess perhaps some new music is just content slop
