Music is unnecessary

    All it does is make you feel euphorically high or wrapped up in your own sorrow. People would be happier if they just STOPPED listening to music. Whenever I listen to a feel good upbeat song life has order and purpose but as soon as I come off that high everything feels a million times worse. Similarly, listening to sorrowful wistful music only makes you descend further into despair. Listening to music is a SHAM!

    If listening to music, uplifting or no renders someone dispairing, they need more professional help than music can ever give.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Statement is meaningless unless it's also stated what it is unnecessary *for*.

    Music is such an amazing thing, a shame you see it as so negative. Its a really powerful medium that we will always have and should never lose.


    Can't wait until I can attend a proper big outdoor concert again 😄

    Agree with OP to the extent that there is a lot of crap commercial music out there. But the key thing with music is not just be a consumer but become a practitioner. Learn an instrument for yourself, any genre you want and then realise the true benefits of music.

    Eating food is a waste of time and effort of my mouth and hands.



  • Registered Users Posts: 14,367 ✭✭✭✭Arghus


    It is hard to specify exactly why music is important, all I know for sure is that I can't live without it.

    When I meet someone from time to time who says "they don't like music" - which does happen - I do wonder about them on a fundamental level.

    Wasnt going to say anything as to OP, must be a sad individual.


    But the food! A very old french friends counter to that, that I heard often "If your don't eat... your don't sh1t....if you don't ****, you die. OK. Let's go eat."

    I have too much of an emotive reaction to music - Some can listen to music without this. Actually playing an instrument or creating music is a different story btw. I don't think music is made to be passively consumed
