Periods where you don't really enjoy much music?
 

Does anyone ever go through periods of time where almost everything new you try to listen to just feels "meh" and you can't really enjoy sitting down listening to music? It's really bizarre and I'm not sure why it happens. Usually the only way to "break" it is when I find an album that clicks really hard and then suddenly things go back to normal overall. I guess another way of explaining it is even albums I'd give like a 7.5/10 to don't do anything for me for a while until I find a 9+/10 and then I'm back to enjoying the other stuff again

I go through this. I wouldn't say it's an amazing album that brings me out. It just kind of happens from too much music and I need a break from it. Something that happens here and there.

It's not really a too much music kind of thing, I haven't been listening much lately and really just spent all my normal listening time working on The Blinding instead. Maybe I burn out music that's not mine when I work too much on mine

It's amazing that you're passionate about your music man, it shows as well, dude keep doing what you're doing.

I don't enjoy music on my period either.

Eat my ass

Usually when Frownland plays one of his songs in plug.

Happens to me too. It just makes everything else sound lame by comparison.

:d

Definitely yeah to the OP. I go through phases where all I listen to is podcasts and have pretty much no interest in music.

I don't really sweat when I lose some interest in listening to music. I usually just use the time to focus on other interests in the meantime, then I remember some really cool tune that I heard probably a week ago or maybe I'll see someone share a really good song that I check out and love, and that gets me back into the swing of things. Or another instance, Sometimes I'll be listening to a lot of stuff from the same genre, and have trouble finding where my mood shifts to when I don't really feel like listening to that genre anymore.

sometimes I get into a funk with music .... right now tho I enjoy making Bit mixes of my songs like a DJ would do

Occasionally I'll have periods where I'm just listening to standup comedy and random shuffling instead. Rediscovering an old gem via the shuffle brings me back to album worship.

When I'm really hung over I don't listen to anything and wish everyone would just shut the fuck up. Other than that, it's business as usual. I'm always inspired by something.

It happens to me every once in a while. It starts with not being able to figure out what I'm in the mood for...eventually I realize I'm not in the mood for anything. I still need music in the background for work or exercise, so I usually find a playlist or streaming radio station with generic electronic music. Eventually, I figure out what I'm in the mood for and I can jump right back into it.

Never happens to me, I'm always worshipping the album. Maybe I'm a bigger fan of music than all of you combined. I'm sure that's it.

I was considering joining the plugs sometime, but I'm not sure I still want to now that I read this.

He's hardly ever in there and thankfully mostly plays other people's music, so have no fear.

About year ago I started to listen music again. My gap was about 5-7 month, I didn't listen music, watch TV shows, read news, sleep, even food lost taste. Now I think it was deep depression. Jesus, now I`m feeling much better.

There have been a number of times when I've given my ears a break for at least a month, and I've not cared that I wasn't listening to music during that time. I've typically done that when I've been working (I work as a musician for folks who don't know) a ton for a long period of time--like being on the road more or less nonstop, 5 or 6 gigs per week on average, for months on end.

Breaks were good for me. I appreciated all music even more after coming back to it post-break.

Sometimes, if it is too early in the morning, my brain is not receptive to music. Other than that, I really enjoy music and I play the keyboard for fun.

Last year was that year for me, I didn't really listen to music much. I play one or two songs but they were older songs and that's was about it. I didn't really listen to anything new. I was in a major funk when it came towards music and didn't really care to be honest. I had to play catch up this year and listen to all the new releases that came out last year that I missed along with this year's new releases.

No, music always. However, I go through phases where I hate everything except for one genre.. I try to listen to a variety usually, but sometimes I'm just really picky.

This is pretty much how I am.
