I think Specific musical anhedonia is interesting. I never heard of it before. I did meet one or two people irl that said they never listen to music. Not knowing what it was called I thought of it as music apathy. Which I thought but peculiar but fascinating that someone can go without music. I also thought it would free up so much time if they did listen to music for hours on end.

I meet people who have very narrow musical taste which is also interesting. Sometime I think it is better to know really well one genre than be a jack of all trades and a little bit of every other genre. Sometimes I wonder if a person can have musical anhedonia for everything but their favorite genre.

I don't know how much a music fan I am, because there is a lot of music out there that I just don't like at all. If I add up all the likes & dislikes I think I would end up percentage-wise being more of person who dislike music. But then again If I like something I really, really like it.
