It’s interesting, music is weird that way. Painting or comics or architecture or wine enthusiasts aren’t shocked by the idea that not everybody cares to develop those tastes. Music fans acts like it’s against nature to not care about music. Like a mental illness.

I think framing it as “taste” is a good culprit for the source of this lack of interest. I can pretty much only get interested in music that conveys negative social taste points.

So still taste.

Today, on Lowe's, a very medicore song from my high school years was playing. I enjoyed the experience of knowing the song, and also knowing that it wasn't very good. I have already completely forgotten what the song was. I am content with this mediocrity.

Does music not even have the ability to enhance other experiences for you (e.g. reading or sex), or is it just that you don't listen to it for its own sake?

Same. With public Spotify playlists music is being used as a finely woven identity matrix and I'm absolutely clueless.

Yeah I gave up after digitizing my CDs. Haven’t bought music in any format since maybe 2002.
