I am 27 years old. Soon to be 28 (fuck time flies). I no longer really connect to music like I did when I was a teenager. I haven’t really enjoyed music so much in almost a decade.
I remember the first time I heard the album Nevermind by Nirvana when I was 15 (cliche and cringe I know). That opening riff on SLTS just sucking me in and I had an almost Synaesthesia like experience with the songs just seeming like colours, emotions, and images in my head. It was such a cool feeling. I developed an obsession with Kurt Cobain and his life (I was a dumb teen) and I developed a fascination with grunge music.
I remember listening to ‘Underwear’ by Pulp and feeling that sense of vulnerable lust that the song portrays so well. My emotions were very much at the forefront of my mind with that song.
These days I listen to Nirvana or Pulp and I get… nothing. Just sounds like any other song. It’s so depressing. I listen to any new music and it’s just… nothing. I try and find something new. Math rock. Grime. Hip Hop. Metal. Classical. No feeling. It’s like the intense emotional and aesthetic rapture I had towards music when I was a teenager just fucking dissipated and now I am emotionally deaf.
I listened to the whole Dark Side of the Moon album by Pink Floyd recently. I felt so dumb because I was just bored and distracted through the whole thing.
What gives? Anyone else experience this?
