I always thought that was a stupid question. Neither of the two caused the other. You're depressed cause you're an obsessive with the maturity of a ten-year-old, which is also the same reason you're a music nerd. Not that maturity necessarily has to do with being a music nerd, but... it certainly doesn't help the situation.
