I've mentioned that I like to just sit back in my easy chair, put headphones on and just listen to music without doing anything else. People say this is weird and say they would fall asleep or go crazy from not doing anything. Am I weird for doing this?

I thought that's exactly what we pretentious audiophiles do.

I mean, it wasnt uncommon that normal families just did this as well , thats why many of us always had good listening setups in the living room.

Now they are usually relegated to the basement and only listened to by crazy ol gramps.

I swear this is a reason for growing depression , among other things. Music is one of humanities strongest past times, and the majority of humans now dont give a shit and put it on as background noise with 0 care.

I blame parents.
