just read a Twitter thread about Spotify promoting music addiction. went down a thread of people arguing if music addiction is a thing. pretty sure everyone was kidding and they’re all in on the joke just to trick me into seriously considering it a thing

How would that even work? For me music is something that I use to augment an experience. I guess there are people that engage with listening to music as an activity itself, but idk how deep it can really go. Once you built a good setup, listening to music is kinda low effort, unless you are analyzing a symphony.

I guess you can have a morbid attachment to a song or artist, but that has other roots. When I think about addiction I think more about an unhealthy, continous engagement with something to the point that it's detrimental. If listening to music made you lose an appointment, probably there is a deeper underlying issue.
