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?

After all those years of collecting mp3s, I barely listen to any of it. I'm just kind of losing interest in music over time. If I'm out with my earbuds in, it's rather listen to a podcast or something.

Maybe it's because there's so little good music nowadays and discovering new music isn't as easy as it once was

I would be curious about how today's discovery is worse that the past, considering that you can access huge catalogues for free and that forums exist. And generalising all new music just doesn't make sense to me, you should give it an honest try and maybe start enjoying music again

Filesharing is nothing like it was before. You can find stuff on YouTube etc that keeps recommending the same things but it just seems so tedious now. It's not like back when we'd hear new things on the radio and you could download albums with that artist to discover similar music.
