also I have zero comprehension of why people record live music and put it on services like Pandora, the idea that someone would prefer that rendition to a studio version is just completely beyond me

Blackula69 posted:lol literal autism http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2014/03/06/286786987/for-some-people-music-truly-doesnt-make-them-happy The researcher in the article calls it music-specific anhedonia and they made a little online quiz version. Here were my scores:  The mean is 50 and standard deviation is 10, which puts me way out of "normal" for everything but sensori-motor responses to music.

Fax Sender posted:shadowhawk with all due respect i recommend you try a weed It's not that I don't enjoy life, I really do, it's just that I really don't care for music. I can recognize it (and even perform it), but it just adds no value. Hearing people talk about music is a bit like listening to a food snob describe how much better the french fries cooked in one type of oil are than the other when I can't even tell them apart. If I didn't know better I'd suspect they were just making it all up. My preferences in music are similarly strange, when people make me answer that question I feel a bit like how someone with no sense of smell would respond when asked to describe their favorite scented candle. I don't really listen to music in my spare time at all, it's just not a thing I do. I never spent any time in my teenage years locked up in my room playing tunes. I never invited anyone over to chill out and listen to music together. I listen to podcasts when driving or excercising. If you looked through my "collection" or youtube history for music you'd find a bunch of things that aren't actually enjoyed for their musical properties -- funny videos, comedy songs, parody music, etc. Music can still invoke emotion in me through other means -- maybe I'll have a contextual memory about that particular song -- but if I've never heard it before odds are I'll be completely indifferent. The lyrics themselves can be poetry (quite literally, since the music isn't doing anything), but I'm not the kind of person who enjoys reading poetry or listening to spoken word performances either. One time I had a friend list the three best things in life as "Food, Sex, and Music" and I literally thought he was making a joke along the lines of "Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking".

Doc Block posted:some bands can actually play their instruments well (or at least decently) and can put on good live shows. so the question becomes: why wouldn't you want to hear a quality recording of a good live show, where the band was having a good time and playing their songs differently or whatever? I'm the last person who should be judgemental about this sort of thing but I honestly do wish to understand.

colbylol posted:lmao at shadowhawk's autism from the last page Coming out as music-indifferent is probably a lot easier though: "What do you mean you never wanted a music collection?" is a lot easier to answer than "What do you mean you don't want to have sex with women?"
