Music has been my life like it’s been yours, especially since I was around age 12ish or so. The last year or two has been horrible in my life especially as in pertains to music but the main reason why I am here is to say that no music is giving me enjoyment anymore.

I can go away for a day or a two and come back and it’s better but not anywhere near what it was at one point in my life. It feels like all the time I have spent learning about it has been a huge waste too.

Like I know hella trivial information about bands and artists and now that I am older I just feel like why did I ever learn all that lmao I could done other things that coulda helped me out more in life.

I was the music guy anywhere I went, people knew how opinionated I was about it, and talked to me as such, I started to resent it and get annoyed by it. Everyone thought I was snobby as fuck for liking music that I liked and I just thought to myself fuck I don’t like it that much I don’t care that much, and really any music can be enjoyable if you want to enjoy it, but people kept projecting shit onto me that I just simply disagreed with or did not identify with.

There’s a lot more to the story but honestly no music is doing it for me now. Not even my tried and true favorites are enjoyable anymore, really. And everything that people recommend just kinda reminds me of something else that I already like, and I like that more, so it all just feels pointless, like why even try to find new music if all of it already sounds like some lesser variation of what I already liked.

Sometimes it is like you have to force yourself to like something or you gotta spend time with something for it to grow on you, I have experienced that a lot before, but now it just sort of feels like that’s a waste of time.

None of it is enjoyable. It all sounds boring to me now.

I have seen this sentiment repeated a lot too.

Some people say AI music’s coming future has something to do with it… I think music is just gonna turn into something a lot less special than what it once was.

Essentially music now just feels like advertising.

I get no feelings from it anymore other than “Oh I remember a time when this meant something to me,” and now it doesn’t.

Anyone else relate?
