    I try not to be the Type of Dude that he talks about here.

    I really didn't like... music, when I was young. Like, I just kinda found it all annoying. I found some bands I liked when I was like 16, but I still really dislike the vast majority of music. I was exposed to a lot of music, but idk, just, most of it like, grates on me. Not full on 'nails on a chalkboard', but also, it there, and I can feel it annoying me. I turn off the music in, like, 99% of games for example.

    But also, I don't want to shit on stuff people like, and I don't want to trample enthusiasm, especially in young people. So I bite my tongue a lot in music discussions IRL, feel like its very "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Which I know is a boomer saying, but goddamn if its rare to actually find a boomer that follows that.

      I ALMOST always turn off video game music even if I like it, because it often just interferes with the gameplay. Like they'll have subtle audio cues in a game with a bunch of fucking music blasting. No thank you. Games are generally pretty bad at deciding when to blast you with music.

      If it's not an audio-based game, I still have to turn it down usually.

      And I always turn off menu music. Shut the fuck up. I'm not even playing. Shut up! You aren't epic. This is the settings menu.

      Games where I never turn off the music? DOOM. Fuck yeah DOOM

      lol, i don't think anyone's enthusiasm will be dampered by the chiming in of the idiosyncratic guy who categorically doesn't like music.
