it'll happen to most of you too. enjoy the constant sense of wonder and discovery while you still can, and don't take it for granted.

just take a break, stop listening to music back to back everyday and do other shit. you'll find new stuff don't worry about it.
don't see why it can't be both
I've always suffered from crippling depression, the slow-down in music discovery (and writing FWIW) only became a factor when I hit like 17. I'm almost 20 now and it's only gotten worse.
user I haven't "just listened to music" in months, possibly a year+. the closest I'll get is driving aimlessly with music on.
It's the opposite for me. Working takes all my time/energy. I'm just too tired/busy to check out new music. When I was NEET, I would listen to/play music all day for the most part.
I hate working, sometimes I think I'd rather just be NEET again.
what do you do
>becoming NEET
why would you even do this?
theres literally the most amount of music being made now than any time in history.
I lost most of my interest in music after my teens ended, but I didn't get depressed- the opposite, in fact. Trying to reconnect a bit with music now but it doesn't get me like it used to.
seriously, april 1st is fucking crazy
My job isn't too bad. I work in the shipping department at a smallish company, and I check that what we're sending out is accurate.
It's a pretty chill job, I get to listen to music, don't have to deal with customers. I just wish I had more time to devote to music. I always felt like I was a good musician, and now I'm losing my skills. It sucks.
I am 19 and feel you on this OP
>already an adult
>applied for community college and hopefully a transfer to a university when finished
>have a job but hate it and constantly searching for a new job that's closer to school
>music interests growing larger and dreams of composing but I'll stick to the current plan
>feel like art music is a huge place to learn, eith many experiences and more to understand even after listening many times
Maybe you're just and anti intellectual piece of filth?
because I dropped out and I'm too depressed to find work
don't you like ANY popular music, weebfriend?
that sounds cool. how did you get the job? im in the opposite boat. i have all the time in the world to play music and i do with a friend but i need to start supporting myself

>mfw I remind myself this is the life I chose
dont worry about criticism. if you think its good it is good
I've been listening to good kid maad city for Kendrick's commentary on ghetto culture or at least his subjective experience of it as of late. I do try to keep up to date on popular music if that's what you're asking as I don't want to be left with no knowledge of it and using the same criticisms.
>management and label wanting new music
>crippling depression and anxiety prevents you from writing
>passion becomes nightmare job
just a reminder that this shit is tough.
