Do you ever get bored of music?

Do you ever find that all music just sounds uninspiring? Or
I am going mad?

I've tried lots of styles, from the most way out shit to
pop and nothing excites me anymore. I don't enjoy music like
I used to, and it's scary.

Maybe if I don't listen to anything for a week and then come
back to it, it'll be nice and orgasmic again.

Yes, I got bored with music last week and haven't listened
to any for several days. This happens from time to time.
I'll start listening again tomorrow and everything will be
OK.

Occaissionally I go off it a bit for a few days and then
come back to liking it just as much.

Yes, I am actually very bored with it right now.
It happens periodically for me, probably about once or twice
a year.
You also have to keep in mind that the longer you listen to
music (the older you get), the less and less "fresh" it
music sounds, because you've heard the majority of the
patterns/styles already.
Your hearing is also getting worse ;)

i made identical thread about 6 months ago...i can tell you
that it was freaking me out, but it's all back to normal
now..i found some music i like again, but it's also true
that i don't listen to the same music i did before - maybe i
still wouldn't like it..i don't know..

Yeah this happens to me.

Here is the solution as i have found it.

When it occured to me originally, i just got into IDM
through this site. Members were quick with suggestions and i
was quick to look into them. I listened to far too much
music.

I started to grow weary of listening to all of it. I took a
break. No music at the house and perhaps only sometimes in
cars. If you take a couple of weeks to not listen to
anything it will refresh you.

When coming back to music, start off prodominately with a
different genre. Perhaps metal or classic rock.

i've noticed that this helps

Nice to know I am not alone.

I think making music at loud volumes and attending raves
nonstop may have also fucked up my hearing, which has
something to do with it.

But it's mostly a physcological thing...you're right about
the "freshness" of music dissappearing (which is why I don't
play videogames anymore.)

Never, ever. I'm always overwhelmed by everything there is
to listen to, I can't fathom ever being bored. Too many
genres, too much music. Every trip to allmusic or
rateyourmusic or something always results in happiness. I
suppose there's times I go through little dry spells where
I'm not really making any progress or being gobsmacked, but
that's usually because of gaming.

I know of a few music lovers who have lost their musical
passion and knowledge over time (my mom included), and it
really scares me to think about turning out like that. But
I'm confident that I won't.

If you keep listening to more styles you won't get bored at
all, and keeping in mind the amount of good music there is,
you won't run out anytime soon either.

almost like music even.

I think it also has to do with building up tension, if you
only listen to extremes or musical highlights it generally
numbs you after a while...
