Is constantly immersing yourself in music a beta trait? I'm talking about being a lastfmfag that stays inside all day, downloading and listening to music, sharing comments with other likeminded creatures online while life passes them by. There's something inherently passive and avoidant in this behaviour tbh.

>Is becoming grossly invested in any form of art a beta trait

Not so much, just if it's not a hobby or a job.

I once met a guy online who advocated abstaining from listening to music (instead you should make it yourself if you want music) because similar to the internet porn theory that the unlimited access leads to excessive consumption and dopamine burnout.

All of this was in the pursuit of productivity whilst lowering his expenditures. It is a way to become wealthy and financially independent. When you don't have any attention sinks, the only choices you're left with are doing something productive or sitting on your hands doing nothing.

I would say it depends on what you want to do with your life. It is really easy to get stuck in this mindset of chastising ourselves and the things we love because in the back of your minds we think we could be doing something "better, more productive, more worthwhile" etc. The trouble if you're not genuinely motivated to do any of those things, let those thoughts go and invest yourself in what you care about, because any efforts you make doing what you think you ought to won't be your all and you'll get to the end wising you had sacrificed whatever you gained for what you sacrificed in the first place.

Stop being an insecure pussy and do whatever you feel like.

I don't know why people are disagreeing with OP. The only way anyone could listen to as much music as some of them do would be to have headphones on every waking moment, and you can't really talk to people like that.

I listen to music in public because I'm so far superior to the plebs that I don't want to hear anything they have to say. this is the polar opposite of a beta trait.

If you even have to ask that you're a beta. Just do whatever the fuck you want. This is the shit I listen to in public. I don't give a shit if people hear it leaking out of my headphones. If anything it just makes me more intimidating than I already am.

I'd agree with Roger Scruton that having music on 24/7 with no silence to contrast is gay and permanently damages your ability to have deeper appreciation for music, but that's much more of a normalfag thing than it is a beta thing. I think you have to treat music with some sort of sanctity and restraint, otherwise you're really just robbing yourself of really resonating with the medium.

I don't get it. There's no gimmick beyond anime girl voices being remixed but beyond that there's nothing special about it.

This is something I learned when I started working nights. I was so used to just having music on all the time that I didn't realize how much it was actually competing with the sounds of power equipment moving around the store as well as the store radio. If I'm not even paying enough attention to be able to sing/whistle along to it then I just turn it off. I kind of like that I can decipher which songs that play on the store speaker I enjoy and which ones I loathe and that actually hinder my job performance because of how much I hate them, also the ones that are so bland and forgettable that they make Songbird by Kenny G sound like Revolution 9.

That is what's special about it.
