People who listen to music regularly, how sad would you be if you were permanently deprived of the ability to listen to any music ever again for the rest of your life?

    I love music and almost every time something is playing on my headphones.
    If I would go deaf, then songs would continue playing in my head. And then start to decay until only broken fragments loop through my head forever and drive me insane.

    Still, I would rather loose my hearing then my eyesight. But lets hope nobody here looses any of it.

    It would be pretty devastating, but I’d at least have my memories of music and the ability to feel vibrations. I think I could still get some enjoyment out of playing drums. But it would definitely suck.

    I don’t know if I could live honestly. Too quiet. I listen to music from 10am to bedtime (if i’m home and not otherwise occupied) then play music in my sleep. Sometimes I watch music videos instead of tv

    I look for new music to add to my collection every year and make a playlist for every year. I started purchasing and “purchasing” music again this year and saving it all to a drive.

    I love all kinds of music and love to sing. That would be such a sad life

    I will grieve for a bit, and I will adapt. Humans can get used to anything.

      Alternatively, use telepathy to mind read other’s feeling the music they listen to.

    Go bloody mad/sad. The dissatisfaction that comes from losing something you always could do and probably took for granted would be immense. And music doesn’t just impact songs… it would make shows and movies and video games suck too, since they rely so heavily on music to texture scenes and create mood.

    I’d be sad but I’d probably still go on. I could still feel it, I could even kinda hear it, too, through my imagination and reading the sheet music.

    If I was ever blinded and couldn’t see, though? I would end my life pretty quickly.

    What’s the point of even living like that?
