At one point I had 3tb of music but then I cut it to 1tb because I honestly realized how much filler I had in my iTunes lmao like if I played it on shuffle I swear it I would skip through like 10 songs every time just to get to 1 song

I realized at that point I’m only downloading music I only really care about and not just download for the sake of having every damn song and having it just for that one moment you might need it

Yup, and the funny thing is, my parents aren't that big on music at all. My mom likes listening to music more than my dad but it's not like they're playing music all the time, whereas I am listening to something 24/7. Maybe it's cause my sisters used to play all kind of different s*** when I was little idk. Don't know how that happened but here I am, mad when I forget my headphones even when I'm going out to get groceries to the shop that's 2 minutes away. Been like that since I can remember.

Yeah, not sure if it’s an intrinsic thing or something my parents instilled in me but 100%.

Even the earliest parts of my childhood music was extremely important to me. The two shows I’m told I watched the most were Power Rangers and The Wiggles; I even saw the latter in concert in like 2003 lmao.

Then when I got older and started becoming more conscious as a human being I’d notice all the music around whether it be the theme songs to the TV shows I would watch, the music my parents played in the car, or wherever I heard it.

I remember back in Kindergarten and 1st Grade we always had an end of year show where the entire class had to learn a few songs for a “graduation” ceremony and that was my first taste of performing and listening to music on my own, as I would have to rehearse for this. This is when I started to consciously go out of my way to find music (i.e. raiding my parents CD cabinet and playing them on my CD player). I started playing CDs when I went to bed every night as music was becoming a very therapeutic thing for me.

Around 4th grade is when I started playing instruments in the school band (I played clarinet initially because I loved Squidward) and started messing around with piano. This is also when I was able to use our family computer (this was like 2007 so we only had one lol) and started to search for the music I listened to online. I’m pretty sure YouTube was fairly young at this point maybe like 2 years old, but still had a lot of music on it.

Gonna fast forward a whole bunch but that was how I discovered hip-hop music (Kanye - Graduation specifically) and just absolutely fell in love with all things music. From that point on everything in my life had music incorporated into it. It’s why I decided to pursue music teaching as a career, because the life I lived as a kid having so much appreciation for music is the single most beautiful thing from my childhood, and all I want to do is be able to duplicate that for generations to come.

100%

im nothing without music fr

Hell yeah

Lmao i feel like I annoy people sometimes with how much I love music

When I was a jit I used to hum every song in the car and my sister would get mad

I’m especially drawn to big booty b****es

it’s the form of art/media etc i’m most passionate about

not really if i have to be honest with myself; as time goes on ive actually been feeling like my connection to music is weaker then i thought - or maybe just stronger in other people

It’s definitely fading to me in terms of engagement/excitement; although I still listen everyday I can sense it’s mainly a comfort/boredom thing rather than a genuine excitement/connection

i think we generally feel things a lot stronger when we are kids/teens and that either transitions into a lifelong strong interest/connection or its fades away as life/culture/society changes

Music is everything to me I literally look at it is a soundtrack to my life

Music is great

yeezus the only album ive ever bought myself

deadass

every other cd has been a gift

i actually used to hate music when i was a kid and now i cant imagine my life without it

I can’t even remember a day I haven’t listened to music. And it’s probably every other day that I’m on the search for new music . It’s a vital part of my life tbh.
