In Reply to: Is listening to music even popular anymore? posted by xrayspex78 on October 27, 2014 at 20:45:58:
People listen to *deliberately arranged sounds* all day long - all night long too, in some cases. Even those who don't have access to electricity will be busy making tunes for themselves. Even babies seem to do this.I doubt that it's possible for humans to remain truly silent and/or musci-less. Suppress speech and the thoughts continue to be endowed with tunefulness.
At least one primitive culture believed that if they stopped making music the physical world would disappear. So (it is claimed) they never stopped.
We may not always like the music being made by those around us but that is a topic in itself. Perhaps what you had meant to ask was, "Does anyone listen to music in a passionate and insightful manner anymore?"
