I won't go and listen to music in my free time that much. I don't have an ipod, just a PSP for music, which I hardly use it for. The only type of music that might interest me is video game music, but that gets old and no point in listening to it. For some reason my mind views it as a waste to just listen to it, it doesn't do me anything beneficial.

 

I mean hey sometimes I might and I'll really like a song and I'll listen to it, but other than that, I don't really listen to it much. I'm not THAT much into music, though I will like songs when I first listen to them(for example I like the soundtrack from OBLIVION, 300, God of War, Lord of the Rings), but I never really listen to them again. Is this normal for me to not be really involved in music? It's just that everyone around me in high school is so I was wondering.

I think I've listened to one song, but never really liked it. Again I don't really listen to it, and this is kind of surprising to me. Maybe it's good, it might be bad to get into music a lot, but kind of bad considering it's normal for everyone else. I mean hey a little music is good, but I always think of other things I can do in my freetime like tennis, running, video games, computer, or TV.

So you listen to SOME, but just not a lot? I was thinking of getting an iPhone, I might use it for music but I'm not sure, but all its other functions seem useful.

IMO it's completely normal. I was like that for a while, until I liked some songs. It then turned into a huge craving for songs.

Branch out and start experimenting with some bands. Music is a great art-form and is very enjoyable. You are missing out.

I used to hate music, I felt it was too difficult to go and decide on a specific type of music... then a little longer than a year ago, I got into some crappy punk music, just casually listening... then I was introduced to heavy metal and I've been listening to it since... I can't live a day without listening to my music :)

For one I'm NEVER getting into Heavy Metal. I sometimes like calm soothing music, sometimes I like rock, some rap(Walk it out lol), but I just don't listen to it that much. For one it costs a lot of $, if I just want one song, iTunes charges $1 per song(some albums are very cheap), and I don't want to do it the "OTHER" WAY.

Whats wrong with metal.  It is iggnorant to say you don't like it for no reason.  But you have to increase your amount of songs you listen to.

I used to listen to SOAD, and Rammstein with some VG music.  Then I went and saw the metal documentary "Metal: A headbangers journey"

I saw Angela Glasgow of Arch Enemy sing and I was interested in the band.  I found some of the band i liked.  From liking Arch Enemy I started liking metal.  Now I listen to 5+ hours of metal a day.

Uh...there are people that don't listen to music...though I think they are in the minority. Just start checking out some music. You have the internet...there's a lot of good music in the world.

I feel the same way, music is OK but not something to make a life out of, it's just too boring, all you do is sit there and listen to pleasant beats enter your brain, it's somewhat entertaining for awhile but I prefer playing video games hours upon hours to cure my boredom, and yes i do have a wide array of bands I like so it's not because I'm lacking things to listen to.

some people aren't sensitive to music, or you need more stimulating music (classical stuff like in Star wars, LOTR ,Oblivion). Its very normal to not like poppy music because of it being so simple and bland. So its not normal to not like music, but i mean its not freakish, just less common.

Why do people think that because they don't do what other people do that they aren't normal? Because you have tastes and opinion you are somehow not normal? I never liked music till i was about 15, it still wouldn't bother me if i never hear a song again. But now i like music more than i used to, mainly music like AC/DC, Zeppelin etc so maybe me reason for disliking music for so long was the lack of hearing the music that appeals to me. But thinking you aren't normal for having tastes? Thats what makes you not normal. Too much American high-school forcing exile on those who don't meet the majority's' standards

Well it's all really based on your personality so I don't think it's NORMAL for you not to listen to music as often. A couple of years back, I was just like you, listening to only game music, but now I listen to all genre of music. Especially J-Pop! :D

Perfectly normal. We all have likes and dislikes. Maybe you like anime, or sports. That doesn't mean you are weird because you like something different. We are all different on this planet (especially me :P).

I love music all kinds of music I dont like just one specific genre my mp3 player is so mixed. Music is awesome I always have fun listening to music, and it is great to relate to songs just find music you can relate to at the time.

Whatever some people just don't dig music. I don't think it makes you any less normal. Although, the love of music is a great love to have.
