Music specific anhedonia!

["couldbecousin"]

  So I've just learned that indifference to music is a thing, and that things's name is
  music specific anhedonia.  I know a few people who are indifferent to music, and I don't understand
  that indifference.  Well, research has been done, and apparently they just can't get any enjoyment out of
  music because, I guess, their brains are wired differently?    Anyone like that here?

Goodness, no. I could not survive without music.

Goodness, no. I could not survive without music.

  Me neither, it's my drug of choice.  I have to listen for hours a day.

Enjoy music under the right circumstances, though it never really occurs to me to do so. Music is usually someone else's idea.

I create music and I listen to music. I can't imagine a different way of being.

[DirtDawg]

Goodness, no. I could not survive without music.

Ditto.

A great deal of my life has been devoted to producing, enhancing, directing, recording, performing, reinforcing and mostly ENJOYing music.*

I used to say I never turn my music off, but to be honest, these days are more "hands-on" than days used to be.

I will say that I only RARELY turn off my music these days.

  Some poor souls apparently don't enjoy it at all. 


   I think we should do something for them.  How about a benefit concert?

Oh couldbe sweetie, you aren't REALLY so daft as to....well...that^

My old man is FOREVER whining about the volume of my music, yabbering on at me to turn it down, and being an impatient prick at that, keeps going on at me if I am actually in the middle of lowering the volume, and is never satisfied either, and to top it off with a  creamy mountain of freshly whipped tosspot, keeps moaning and whining like a little 5 year old brat who's just been told by mom that no, he cannot have more sweeties before you have eaten your tea, whining like a bitch because I use the volume setting in youtube, and not the master setting on the computer.

Unfortunately I am stuck using his laptop atm, that he doesn't use, otherwise, I would have told him to shut his trap or he isn't getting so much as a thousandth of a decibel down. And if he kept on, I would turn it up. Oh, and tell him to eff off:P

I do enjoy music but I also at times enjoy time without it,  my wife and daughter on the other hand can't do without

I used to really love music...couldn't live a day without it almost...but my life is full of hyper, talkative people now...so I find myself craving silence more than anything else.

I turn the radio off a lot anymore. Sometimes it's soothing, sometimes it's just one more noise and my senses are screaming already.

[Lestat]

Music IS my silence.

Having something heavy  blasting out by the side is calming and relaxing,  I often drift off to sleep with someone like mudvayne, disturbed, rammstein, combichrist or draconian cranked up as loud as my speakers will go

I have music on in my car. Currently it is a Soundgarden CD and Kayleigh doesn't like it. Too bad, my car. I could always put Alice In Chains on, she dislikes them even more.

I don't listen to music as much as I used to. I think depression has played a part in that. I used to get obsessed with various artists and bands. No longer. I don't even have any music on my phone.

Seriously, though, I cannot imagine life without music. My sympathies to anyone who can.
