Do you listen to music for you or for who you think you need to be / for other people genuinely curious
but yeh, i do now
feels goat not having to force s*** into my ear drums
edit: reminded me of this tweet that is related and goes hand in hand with OP question
Feel like if you listened to some artists to project an image, you'd only do it in public or rarely in private, so in the end the majority of the music you listened to would still be "for yourself" anyway.
I used to do the latter when I was in high school and made music my personality
Now I only listen to s*** that I enjoy. I even go through albums and delete tracks that I don’t fw. High school me would be sick lmao
I don’t even understand any other options.
there is a largr majority that listen to s*** to feel relevant or current, and it allows them to be active within their various social circles, via IRL or URL
I dont get what OP us trying to say
