Music, mh~ ?
As more time goes on, it becomes increasingly clear to me that music is *very* important to me. It's pretty much the only medium that can bring me closest to crying semi-reliably, and I really REALLY enjoy the songs that grab me.
But I don't have anyone to talk about music with!
And maybe I don't have the language to talk about music? I thought about making a post about a song and why I like it but... came up blank!

@Decimal Exactly the same! Music is ridiculously important to us, but we don't know how to talk about it!

@SophicLeech It's a real confounding problem!
This thing, it makes me really happy, and I want to share it!
But I can't initiate a conversation about it, other than posting it and going "I liked this!"
To which the typical response is either a happy but disinterested "Nice!" or "Wow, this is really good! Thanks for sharing!"
Weeeeeeh.
Music, mh~ ?
@Decimal Yeah! I wanna talk endlessly about themes that emit feeling, especially Video game music! And I wanna hear the themes that move my friends! And their opinions on both the musics!
But I'm also just as bad at initiating conversation (and properly communicating my points in general, for that matter, even rewriting this very paragraph a few times!) that I don't usually manage a conversation!

@SophicLeech @Decimal oh hey this is relatable

@SophicLeech @Decimal like i come across music that's really good and sometimes i have the energy to talk about it but usually i don't
and we have a really hard time listening to music others recommend to because we're just so damn picky about it and if we don't like it it's usually really bad for our mental health because ????????? and so i feel like we can't really... appreciate things other people like all that much sometimes, which i dunno i just don't like being like that

@Decimal @SophicLeech for us, it's lyrics. any music with singing (with one known exception, for some reason??) is a flat no for us because of auditory processing weirdness making it just, really uncomfortable
also any music we listen to gets stuck in our head! even if we hate it!! even if it's not remotely catchy!!! yes we really hate music playing in public places!!!!

@Felthry @SophicLeech I can also relate to being incredibly picky with music recommendations. Sometimes it's just a matter of "I listened to this at the wrong time, if I heard this later/sooner, I'd have loved it"
Lemon Demon's stuff, for me! When I first heard any of it I just didn't like it.
Then I heard some of it when Aimkid made animations for some songs, and those songs are now REALLY GOOD to me!
