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?

Check the profile, baby.

Seriously, though, I'd rather be blind than deaf. That's how much.

Woah, I almost wanna say the same too, but on second thought, I'd rather be deaf than blind - that's because I think eyes are the windows to a person's soul, and I can peer into anyone's soul just by eye contact. Too bad my eyesight is aging faster than the rest of me.

Eyes aren't windows to anything. Eyecontact is something most of us are wired to crave, to view as intimate, and it's a shortcut to feelings of trust and understanding. Salesfolk, public speakers, and con artist are all trained to exploit this to be one more effective.
