    didn’t grow up listening to music

    What does this mean?

    I've never had a curated library of music that I listen to or cycle through, which seems to be what people are asking about when they say "do you listen to music" or "what kind of music do you listen to". But there has still been lots of music playing throughout my life.

      both my parents listened to talk radio (right wing, in fact) and I was homeschooled. So like, very little music was ever played around me growing up. I listen to music, sometimes, but also prefer podcast

        Did they take you to church?

        I credit some of my singing ability to using it at least once a week when I was growing up. Granted, some of the songs permanently fixed in my mind are a bit bland.
