Music is just tickling peoples' eardrums in the same way that looking at your newborn baby is just indirect light illuminating your retina.

- kalium_xyz 7y agoTickling is surprisingly complex and specific, random noise like wind blowing on skin will not tickle you, you cant tickle yourself, you clothes dont tickle you, etc. How is it a bad metaphor for music? Id even go as far as calling music a form of humanity pleasuring itself not as in the act of emulating sex but emulating the most interesting parts of a language
- WhompingWindows 7y agoMusic is primarily for entertainment and evocation of emotion, as well as secondarily for dance, exercise, distraction, community building... All of these require a vibration of the eardrums, and such is my temperament that I love to have fun and stay light-hearted, so most of my music fits the tickling vibe. Not intensely sad/slow music, granted, but I very rarely play that myself :)
