I feel like a horrible person for describing anyone’s music like that, but hearing either of those two artists instantly sours my mood and makes me feel depressed and despondent. I’ve had struggles with mental health for 30+ years, and one of the few things that helps with any consistency is avoiding things (music, movies, tv shows) I know will likely put me in a sour mood.
I’m glad their music brings joy to others. I am just not ever going to enjoy it. The absolute best I can possibly manage is to grind my teeth and bite my tongue until the song is over and hopefully something more pleasant comes on.
I have similar issues with this. I feel like I have negligible control over what music is stuck in my head, to the point that sometimes it feels like my brain chooses which songs to play on infinite loop in my head based on what’s most likely to ruin my day or mood, or tempt me into taking an ice pick to my ear drums. In contrast, trying to get a song I like stuck in my head often feels as frustrating as trying to wrestle a greased up angry toddler.
I have noise cancelling headphones that work well for countering this, but I’m often in situations where it would be very weird for me to use them, so I’m often powerless to do anything about it.
The more I hate a song being played in a public space, the more my brain wants to make me miserable by forcing me to pay attention to the hated song and nothing else.
If Microsoft wants people to use its AI product, they’d be better off making it useful instead of making it more invasive and annoying than pop up and interstitial pause screen ads.
Less money on marketing and VPs, more money on quality developers.
I’ve spent most of my life in poverty. I don’t like Christmas terribly much because it just gives me childhood memories of being disappointed. Nowadays I sometimes feel like a monster because I can’t make myself be (or at least pretend to be) happy during Christmas.
