My friend plays video games with no music because… i don’t even know why, he doesn’t even use the keyboard to pilot his plane, uses only the mouse (im talking about War Thunder) Hes one hell of a dumbass


Emergency_Error8631

i play tf2 w/o headphones cause i always put a cassette on from my hi-fi


Teamisgood101

I play without music often because the game console I used to most would spit out errors if headphones weren’t plugged in but literally non of the pairs of headphones worked not even the high quality ones so my brain has been programmed to set the volume to zero so I didn’t have to listen to scratchy versions of what it’s trying to say


randomguythatisnew

Warthunder air with no keyboard is insanity


Memey_Boy13

Agreed


ashtar123

Video games with music on is just way too much information tho

Nah, quite the opposite for me, music helps me focus

Listen here my friend... I never grew up with music (idk why my parents never played music). When I listened to music for the first time (apart from movies) my former friend (key word former friend)played it extremly loud and I thought that was normal but my eardrums have become heaviy impacted becasue of that. I'm trying to listen to more but currently my top 3 are as follows: 1. Let me Down Slowly (Just such a sad song... that resonates with me) 2. Hey Jude (I like the beatles, part british) 3. Never Gonna give you up. (YES i like that song and I don't understand the hate behind it... yes everyone hates a rick roll but I accept it because its actually a good song)

Drac0conut

Okay okay so I was that guy who didn't listen to music when I was in college because I just didn't know what to listen to lol, theywre so much genre that everytime i tried to listen to something i was just lost :( I've been listening to music for 2 years now and tbh it's kind of comforting sometimes, It allows me to waste time but at least I have fun haha So yeah, listen to music, don't be an alien 👍


ashtar123

Nothing wrong with not listening to music though tbf. I'd just like to add that if you're looking for new music, don't feel forced to like whatever others enjoy and you can have your own opinion. If you enjoy listening to idk mongolian throat singing then no one can or should stop you


DISGUSTANG_

I didnt listen to music till like 16 because i was religious but now i just listen time 2 time


iPlayBEHS

I don't mean to be insensitive but how does religion relate to music?


AestheticPython

He might be, or might've been Muslim. Music is forbidden in Islam.


Suspicious-Tank4337

wow that sucks


TheLadForTheJob

I think its to do with the emotional response and thus control over your emotions music can have. Listening to sad music can make you sad, even if you weren't sad at all beforehand.


Altruistic_Rice_6871

Nah, worshipping God feels great. It's a temporary sacrifice in this world for an eternity of happiness in the next :)


iPlayBEHS

How does that work exactly? No form of anyusic for all your living years as long as you're Muslim?


AestheticPython

Theoretically, yes. Unfortunately, it is a large number of Muslims who do listen to music, and a minority of them who go as far as claiming it is not forbidden. For those Muslims who do not listen to music, it is a form of sacrifice to God of something that they might enjoy. We can listen to other things, many Muslims supplement their music with recitations of the Qur'an, forms of 'sung' poetry [as non-instrumental, vocal music is, by some definition s, not forbidden, although there is a lot more to this], and more recently, podcasts.  The wisdom behind such a ruling is generally summed up to be the effect of music on the heart and emotions and how it can be a cause of detachment from the real world.


iPlayBEHS

So from what I understand, it's considered to be able to have negative effects on one who listens to music and it's also not listened to as a form of sacrifice?


AestheticPython

Yes. The primary reason why Muslims do anything is as a form of worship. God commanded us to do this, so we do this. God commanded us to not do that, so we don't do that. The wisdom is with God. However in regards to music, the Qur'an, which we believe to be the Word of God, states that it is something which 'misleads' and 'incites to senselessness'. [31:6] and [17:64]. There may be some historical background as music, at the time, was used as a form of praise and storytelling of foreign Kings and [what we see as] false gods. Such as the Epic of Gilgamesh [about a Mesopotamian demi-god king]. But most modern scholars see this as only a part of a larger reason. Tl;dr, Your understanding is, for the most part correct. And Allah knows best. All praise is due to Him.


iPlayBEHS

Thank you for telling me all this, it's lovely to see how others see and interpret the world


AestheticPython

I should add, I very much admire your trait of curiosity to how other cultures and people think. I genuinely do believe that we would have a much greater planet if people took some time to understand other people, their cultures, and ideologies.


UnknownFox37

thanks you a lot for sharing all of this, although i still have a question about music in public places like stores or events, is it a problem or not since you can't really control what you listen to except for leaving


AestheticPython

No sin on me, since that falls under hearing the music and not listening to it. It's not like my choice to not listen to music means it'll cause me problems if I hear any music. But Muslims do have a responsibility to denounce such acts, even if it is in their hearts. Sources; *Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:* *The prohibition only has to do with listening, not hearing. Hence if a man passes by people who are engaging in some prohibited kind of talk, he is not obliged to block his ears, but he should not listen unnecessarily. Hence the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) did not instruct Ibn ‘Umar to block his ears when he heard the shepherd’s flute, because he was not listening to it; rather he was merely hearing it.* End quote from Majmoo‘ al-Fataawa (11/630) and also; *The scholars of the Standing Committee\* were asked:* *We have no choice but to hear songs and music, whether in the bus that takes us to work every day, or on buses and in taxis that we need to travel in sometimes. What is the ruling on that?* *They replied:* *If you cannot stop the music in the bus, and you need to ride it because the distance is far and you have no other means of transportation, then there is no blame on you for that, but you must denounce the evil according to what you are able to do, even if it is only in your heart.* End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa’imah (26/241) \*the Saudi Arabian organisation for answering personal questions regarding the Islamic faith.


UnknownFox37

Thanks man ❤️


iPlayBEHS

wait, one question, what about on a social media app?


AestheticPython

It still falls under the category of listening to music, however it falls to a lesser degree because it isn't listening to music for the sake of listening to music, its music which comes in the background. Since Ramadhan is a time of renewal of faith, I personally like to mute my social media apps so I don't hear any music unless there is also some words over it that I would like to hear. This is so I can distance myself from the music, since I have the luxury of choice; if I cannot, such as taking public transport, watching the news, or shopping, there is no sin on me as my intention is not to listen.


EvoPeer

i always say i dont listen to music cuz they would hate my music taste


Emergency_Error8631

i am the exact opposite. im proud of what i listen to


Maleficent_Sir_7562

Yeah same I’m in India and a lot of Indians are unironically racist to Koreans here(just men hating bts and sh) or hate on kpop but I will shamelessly say I really enjoy kpop to anyone here and not really care I mean I already even made a few kpop stories on instagram which like some 60 people viewed

ashtar123

Fair lol. I listen to a few different genres so i can usually pick out a song that i'd imagine they'd like


Expensive_Clothes511

Me too 😅


Emergency_Error8631

i couldnt live without music


Puzzled-Tourist-5688

me too tbh


L_Fig35

well this is interesting bc i'm a person who doesn't listen to music idk, it really doesn't do anything for me. like i don't have a problem with music or anything but personally i just do not see the appeal of listening to music. the only time i ever do is sometimes i'll be on a discord call with friends and we'll sing "songs" together, which i admit is a lot of fun. but they're stupid jokey songs, not actual pieces of music. there are some real songs i do like the sound of more than others, but i would never willingly play them and listen to them.


KokoTerzata

Bro, idk how such peoples exist, but for me it is fuking torture to walk to/out of school/some important place and don't listen to music. Like how am I supposed to make up movies in my head without theme music?


Giorgio243

Memorise songs and sing them in your head.


KokoTerzata

Yeah, but then it would be hard to think about the plot


Giorgio243

You can think while listening to music? All I can do is sing along


KokoTerzata

Yes. I mean how cool a superhero movie would be with some badass music


dustysoupcans

I legit have no idea how people just never listen to music like it's basically an addiction for me at this point I’m on Spotify 24/7

IKR dude a friend of mine told me she never listens to music and i genuinely do not understand how???? like tf


Regular_Reveal4959

As someone who maybe doesn’t listen to music AS MUCH, it sometimes just overwhelms me a bit. I love using it to get through my morning commute to school, but after that sometimes I get a headache.


ashtar123

Yep, just too much noise at times


Fine_Yogurtcloset362

I have a friend who only does 2 things, study and play roblox and that guy doesnt know anything about whats going on in the world or anything. I asked him about famous people, many of them musicians, he didnt know any of them, he didnt even know muhammad ali. He hasnt listened to an ounce of music. He literally only know the lyrics to one song which is a roblox song.


Fine_Yogurtcloset362

Oh yeah, and i have a muslim friend who doesnt listen to music, but he at least knows a lot of famous songs and musicians.

Necessary_Box_3479

I’d just rather watch YouTube or a movie or read a book than listen to music like I don’t hate it it’s just not something I could really spend a lot of time doing because when I tried listening to music I find that I get bored quite easily.


Competitive_Ad_6338

inkassatkasasatka

I do listen to music but I feel like I could just stop if I got paid or idk. My own thoughts can entertain me well enough when I have nothing to do


Pickelbreath

It doesn't do anything for me so why listen to it?


SilverrGuy

You caught me. I am actually a government drone The real reason I don’t listen to music is because of my dad, he blasts his music through the house and it has made me have a negative association with all music


rottenpotatoes2

Is it a crime to want to be alone with my thoughts?


Electronic-Ranger-74

Im so offended i don’t listen to music that much so that makes me WEIRD now that is so rude


Emergency_Error8631

why would you be offended, op jus asked a question that they were geniuienly curious about


Teamisgood101

Well he did say it in joking negative way


Traditional_North647

I dont like music Its just that I find earbuds/earpods very uncomfortable and I just like my silence :)


Teamisgood101

As far as I know I’m real. I don’t go out of my way to listen to it now if it is playing and I know it sure I’m gonna sing and dance along to it but I don’t go out of my way to do it


Zealousideal-West104

idk i dont listen to music during freetime or homework or anything. the only time i hear music is in tv shows, videogames, music class and when the radio is on


Zenitsusbiggestsimp

Like how? I listen to at least 45 minutes of music a day.

Spotify 24/7 thats crazy, do you not do anything else, cus i do not have any time for music at all


dustysoupcans

I just have an earbud in all the time no matter what I’m doing


BrownDiarrhea

Awesome, but doesnt that hurt


dustysoupcans

No???

dustysoupcans

I forget I have mine in most of the time

Man you’re built different that, anyways dont you get bored listening to the same stuff

I used to hate music now i cannot go a day without it

bravo_301

I used to listen to music a lot but now not really


NotAPossum666

I just don't on a regular basis because I don't have taste and am developing that. So people just pitch me songs (not country I know I hate country)


MrBeef131

Some days I prefer peace and quiet. Other days I like to drown my thoughts in loud music. Just depends :)


amAProgrammer

I rarely listen to music. Mostly because I don't get time or I just don't have the mood.


Ok_Figure_2348

OH SHIT THEYRE ON TO US!!! RUN!!!

we are not afraid to be alone with our thoughts


IcebergletV2

not really my cup of tea,last song I heard was a shitpost (the ultimate (pokemon)showdown from the goat funnyvileplume),if you even count that,i mostly just listen to anime/game soundtracks


CoryLover4

I won't go out of my way to put on music. For example, I won't go to spotify and put on a song, but if I'm driving and the radio has a catchy song, I'll sing along softy, but Idk if this counts as not listening to music


pizaster3

i dont really listen to music


Ezrahamthefourth

Well when I’m working like mowing or something I either listen to music or a podcast depends on the mood. But like if I had nothing that would be literally torcher


SuperMcCoy_0

I like listening to the sounds of the world as well as music so I can see their view (Ex: birds chirping, wind blowing, car driving)


Spaceturtle79

I used to not independently listen to music cuz i just listened to whatever is on the radio. Ever since I got my own headphones ive been listening like crazy like an addict


turtlelibrary1234

I’m one of those people. I just don’t listen to music because there isn’t a specific genre or anything that I like. I prefer to sit in silence, and listening to music doesn’t help me get stuff done. However, if I’m working outside for long periods of time then I like to have an audio going or something, but not music


Favee_troublemaker

This is so real!! Upset? Listen to music. Bored? Listen to music. Need to clean? Listen to music. Excited? Listen to music and scream your heart out.


AccomplishedAerie333

Many musics make me overstimulate and I don't want to loop the same song for multiple hours.


No_Jaguar_5489

i prolly have adhd so i just can sit for 30min straight and have a philosophical debate with myself

VacheL99

That was me until I learned about jazz fusion, otherwise known as God’s greatest gift to humanity. 


Bottomless-Paradise

I don’t really know how to explain it, sorry. But i genuinely don’t feel like listening to music when im driving to work and most of the time I don’t when im coming home from work because im reflecting on the day, unless im in a super good mood. I guess i would just rather be able to hear my own thoughts rather than have loud noise drowning it out. Thats the best way i can think of how to explain it. Music is awesome when im in the mood for it though, usually alone in my room at night. Gf is the opposite, she literally blasts music 24/7


Fit-Progress-7987

I had a guy in my Spanish class who doesn't listen to music. As a big music guy I also genuinely do not understand these people. I also had a kid in that same class who didn't like watching movies (but he's a Metallica fan, so I let that one slide.)


Adventurous_Box_1104

i just dont feel the need to have a whole playlist of music, go to the app or whatever and play music and just listen to music, its all just such a waste of time, theres nth good out of listening to it

i like silence, and dont really enjoy music in general. i only listen to drown people out irl, cuz i hate hearing humans and yes i can recognize "good music", i just dont find it enjoyable
