Depression basically already did this to me. Something that used to make me feel a lot of things is now a chore that I usually don’t get around to
Annoyed more so than sad. For the most part, I listen to instrumental songs to block out the ads and music while shopping. Otherwise, I don’t play music.
I do have several nature recordings of thunder storms, crashing waves, etc that could fill in if music was gone from the world.
The upside for me would be no more music in tv shows and movies. Sometimes, its too loud to clearly hear the dialogue.
What’s the point of even living like that?
What a loss! 😔 Music is such a huge spice of life. But things could be worse bc at least I’m not deaf
I’ll say, as someone who loves listening to chill music, but has had a few events leave them with pretty bad tinnitus, it sucks to be even partially on the way to there.
Serious genuine trouble, the dopamine I get from new music keeps everyone around me alive.
I would honestly kms. I’d rather be blind… big props to people who have experienced that and still exist.
Is it just music? If yes would that mean that I can’t hear myself or my friends when we sing together while we do other/boring stuff? I would be more sad about that part actually.
The perk would be to not hear annoying songs on repeat at stores around holiday or being able to actually talk at bars. But otherwise extremely sad.
Just music? I can hear other stuff?
I listen to music daily and music is special… But I can listen to podcasts and audio books and be happy.
Very
Theoretically that would just mean going deaf right? If so I could still feel vibrations and so on. So I guess it suck immensely but I wouldn’t lose the ability to partake in rhythms and may be able to enjoy bass.
I went to university with a large deaf population. Back then I thought it was weird seeing people I knew were deaf walking around with really nice over ear headphones on (like beats and such) until I heard one listening and the bass was cranked seemingly all the way up. Then it made sense
I don’t think that could work. There is always a song or a beat playing in my head 24/7. Sometimes something I just heard, sometimes something from years ago, and sometimes its some nonsense I just came up with.
Even if I went deaf, the beat would continue. But I’d be bummed I couldn’t listen to new stuff.
Going deaf would be terrible, but at least I’d have the music inside me I’ve heard before.
Not even being able to hear music in my own head would be… I’m sure I could find a way to live with it, but I’d miss it every day.
i listen to music constantly. it is my passion hobby, my favorite form of art, my special interest. there are over 4600 artists in my library and i’m always visiting new and old sounds. i love music.
i would be devastated. i don’t know. i’m not sure if i could find living bearable.
I would be beyond heartbroken and go mad
