Thank you for letting me know :)

I'm not sure if that's sarcasm. I've noticed it's been down-voted a bit so I don't think it was a lot of people's ideas of enjoyable :(.

thanks for explaining. Personal musical interest is a huge part and would certainly explain why we search for new music through artists we already know. I had imagined plenty of people on a music thread on reddit, would have an general interest in music. I think I was focusing more on the why we listen. So in that instance, once you've found something, why would you continue to listen to it/what would motivate that. That's sort of where I got my ideas of 1.matching how we currently feel 2. matching how we want to feel and the third suggestion from this thread of how we used to feel.

I like all of those examples and would agree, yes, powerful.

Thanks for this, have never come across it!

I'm sure, someone else mentioned nostalgia. So current, want and past.

Feel free to suggest some.

That makes sense 😊

Ahh. Sorry. I struggle with some jokes.

That makes sense, thanks :)

Uplifting and powerful are words I'd use to describe metal.

Some people I know refer to industrial as noise. Wondered if that's what you meant.

Also not all music is structured. I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic with that part.

Yes. Although, I'm not sure I've ever met anyone who answered that question with "no". I know not everyone listens as much as I do or in the same way but I am intruiged by why.

What sort of country? I've found that label meaning different things to different people

What sort of genres do you go for?

That makes sense. What sort of mood do you listen to metal in? A bad one or a good one? (mood) curious, I like a lot of metal but other people I know who don't find it quite aggressive, which I don't.

Makes sense, I think that's sort of what I meant by catharsis. I'm the same with the genres. Although technical death metal is a new phrase, I think most metal I listen to at the moment is random bands I get linked to on Bandcamp, don't necessarily save names anywhere, not sure if any of them come under that bracket. Can you give an example?

Music seems to have helped you then thats good.

Like industrial noise?

It can be, I just sort of narrowed it down (after reading lots about it) to two sort of ways people listen to music (not that someone is one or the other more that we experience some element of both and wanted people's opinions). Someone further down also suggested for nostalgic reasons, too.

Both sounds like a lot opinions, so yeah! Are there genres you wouldn't listen to?

So sort of the 'want' rather than the current feeling?

Hah, what classed as good for you?

I never thought of it like that I suppose.

Yeah I've read a lot about associating music with memories.

That makes sense. I guess it depends on the relationship to sound itself.
