Just curious why you explicitly "hope there is no cure"? Seems like an odd wish. If music has little to no effect on you now, why would you even care? Furthermore if a "cure" did exist, what would be the downside of trying it?
- irrational 8y agoFrom what I can see, there is no upside to enjoying music. People spend so much time and money (attending concerts, paying for streaming services, buying music, buying instruments, practicing instruments, listening to the music, etc.) that I'm able to happily use elsewhere. If I enjoyed music I might want to start using my time and money for those things.

- moyya 8y agoHonestly, I can't tell if the poster is just trying to live up to his/her username or not. The comments make little sense.
- garmaine 8y agoI like who I am, and am perfectly happy the way I am. If you step back and look at it, letting vibrations in the air control your emotional state is kinda a scary proposition, no?
- tmh88j 8y ago> If you step back and look at it, letting vibrations in the air control your emotional state is kinda a scary proposition, no? How is that different than letting reflections of light off of objects control your emotional state? Do you also have no emotional reaction to art, or even as simple as preferring a certain color?
- rimunroe 8y agoI'm not them, and don't find that scary at all (speech certainly affects my emotional state!) but I don't have any color preference, or feel like I have anywhere near the emotional reaction to art that other people do.
- tmh88j 8y agoAre you suggesting visuals of any kind do not create an emotional reaction for you? I'm not sure what the point of your comment is otherwise. Would painting a room bright pink be no different to you than painting it black? Does looking at roadkill or a corpse feel absolutely no different to you than viewing something most would consider calming like a sunset, flowers or someone who you consider to be beautiful? If you do feel different, then yes, light reflecting off of objects does create an emotional reaction to you.
- icebraining 8y agoNo, it's great, it's like having a cheap, legal, safe drug that can be used as a downer or upper, and more.
