I'm not deaf, but I am somewhat indifferent to music, and let me tell ya it turns you into a fucking weirdo pariah. I mean, one of the big get-to-know-you questions is 'so, what kind of music do you like?' And then I sputter and stammer and inevitably tell them that I like all kinds of music, no one genre.

Loving music is considered universal and important, like it defines humanity or something. People are moves to tears by music, feel connected and alive through music. I've had people ask me what's wrong with me, because I prefer to sit in silence when home alone. If I have music on in the car, it is for background noise, and I hardly pay attention. I don't want to talk about musicians, or new bands or old bands. Not because I'm above the celebrity and commercial aspect, but because these are aspects of a thing I'm not invested in. Like sports. I don't care about athletes, because I don't care about sports. There is music I like, a few songs here and there, some bands. But it's like.. enjoying a single thing from a genre of movies you generally don't care for. That one romantic comedy you enjoy, even though rom coms don't matter to you. I read and write and enjoy art and nature and cinema- and music will forever be a nice but entirely incidental facet of my life.

I don't care about Amy Winehouse, or most any musician, their legacy or great gifts, because music ranks very low for me. And people are really weirded out and disapproving of it. It is an anomaly. Try googling it. About the only thing that comes up is an article written about non-music fans by some regular joe-human who thinks they're all inhuman and spends the piece casually insulting them. And then there's a Yahoo question, where all the answers are people suggesting they just try hard to find music they like, lol!! You're not gonna win here, pal. If you said you didn't care for cinema, or sports, people'd leave you be. But music is serious business, and even hearing loss isn't an excuse apparently. :|

NA

I feel 100% the same way about music as you.

I've got into arguments with people because they insist I do like music, I'm just being pretentious.

Let me tell you about how much of a special snowflake I am.

(Anonymous) 2014-09-24 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, we get it, people like you and dismissive!anon are persecuted snowflakes outcast by cruel society. Did you just not read the whole part where they decided because they don't get it, it's stupid and worthless? Where actual other deaf people are telling them that's not on?
