Inconsequential music

this is a fascinating thread, though i suspect that the approach to music appreciation being discussed is, at least in part, alien to me. i mean, i frequently buy or listen to music more or less at random, with little understanding of either the context from which it emerges or the sense in which it might culturally persist. i agree that there's something...i don't know, maybe i want to say "lonely" about such listening, in that (absent further exploration) it attaches to nothing, just hangs there as a detached bubble of experience.

i don't have trouble sharing such enthusiasms, though. like, i bought a copy of the above album probably a decade ago, apropos of nothing, only because i was intrigued by the sui generis time capsule quality of the cover image. it's not bad on the whole, but it does contain one absolutely killer track, a goofy r&b/power-pop hybrid called "she's so cool". i played the shit out of this tune, foisted it everyone who'd listen (including ILX iirc). no one really gave a shit, but that didn't bother me much. i still have it, metaphorically speaking, and it's presently making me smile. is it "consequential"? i'd have to say no, not even within the scope of my own listening. but that's okay. given the chance, i'd happily play it out.

I dont understand any of this thread, but reading this particular link actually made me feel seasick/stressed

This seems to perfectly describe all the music I listen to, as I never concern myself with things like consequences/importance/relevance/cultural context, or how to sell this music to others, or to make it look like something more than just sounds I enjoy. Music is pretty much a solitary and selfish experience as far as I'm concerned and none of these things seem to matter more than the actual act of listening.

Although I might be posting off topic since I don't understand much of the OP and I'm merely trying to figure out what this is all about based on the subsequent messages.

Different modes of listening but its the same here in the woods. Some magic happens and I forget the world, or it doesn't

But I get stressed easily and like switching off the swirling tumult

If it pops up on Forgetify its inconsequantial. I can't see how else music could qualify for this description.
