I listen to music to help motivate me when I run.
Itt we list our primary reasons for listening to music
It helps me with anxiety, it helps me to be happy, it helps me to be motivated. It honestly just 100% is an improvement to my life.
It's something to do
It's the only thing my life has left
I would have no hobbies if I didn't
I don't listen to music -- I just post threads with album art and lyrics in all caps
Because i have to sit alone in silence if i don't
I listen to music because it gives me chills and makes me cry. I gotta feel something in this life.
nostalgia or novelty. or dancing/transcending existence.
all of these
but for me it just helps me think and formulate an identity
Silence bothers me. I listen on my computer (when not watching something), in the car, and sometimes when I read. When I go to sleep I set a couple of songs to play. I can sleep without it, but music helps.
Its fun

the madman
To get the memories of her out of my head
Yup, I feel like music strengthens the emotions that I'm already feeling
I enjoy doing it
Block out noise pollution like birds, cars, etc.
I like to dance and sing along
This to be honest.
Yeah I primarily use it for running or working out.
because i like the way it sounds
because i like it more than anything else in the world, being able to explore everything that's out there and building a collection makes me feel like i'm building a part of myself yet it separates me from myself, music helps me forget that i exist, I want to listen to as much music as humanly possible before I die
All the reasons ITT, it's just such an amazing experience. I love hearing all the unusual sounds, rhythms amd melodies that people make. It's so easy to find something new amd dive into it. If I really think about it it's a way to emotionally connect with someone's experiences so outside of your own while still remaining inside of yourself. It's introspective and transcendent at the same time and I can't really think of anything that does that aswell as music does.
Over the years, listening to lots of different sorts of music has been a kind of addiction. I'm a fairly experienced musician, and I still listen more than I practice, write, etc. Being a musician, for me, is a way to constructively channel all my listening and approach it from the other side.
So I don't have to listen to my mom and stepdad fight every night
I also like experiencing new things and since I don't have the money to be able to travel or get out much it helps a lot
