I am starting to be convinced that one of the main reasons that people listen to music is to get the loop of the previous music they played out of their heads.

But what if you enjoy those loops and want more loops?

Sits down

So, you've found my ADHD ass.

I find playing the song i have stuck in my head to completion gets rid of the earworm. If i played another song i’d just have two earworms.

I nearly constantly have music going in my head if I'm not listening to something. Not necessarily real songs, either. Listening to music is better.

The music I like I love having go through my head.

The best way to get that music out of your head is to let this music start playing in your head.

I need it to have my brain entertained with something positive. Otherwise, as with sensory deprivation it will entertain itself with mostly negative train of thoughts, strongly supported by our zeitgeist.

This is my ultimate ear worm killer

It's just a more powerful ear worm that I always enjoy hearing, even if it's only in my head.

Try tinnitus ,its a ....

When my favorite bands drop new songs, I’ll exclusively listen to those new songs on repeat for days

I love music

I've done some lazy-style toddler sitting (in my defense, it was the heat!) and might have accidentally overdosed on Disney songs and The Sound of Music. Now trying to delete it with an 80s New Wave and Alternative playlist. And if that doesn't help I'll have to nuke it with 90s eurodance, but that would be grim.

I enjoy acoustic accompaniment for the emotions which drive me.

It's the tune wedgie train.

In my case, that's not the case. I rarely hear music, and when I do, it's one of three reasons.

The main reason is when there are non-consented sound reaching my highly-sensitive ears and covering my ears do shit to stop it, so in order not to end up hurting myself more than I'm already doing with strongly covering my ears, I find myself compelled to put the intrauricular earpieces and blast some of the same songs among an offline repertoire of thousands of MP3 files into my ear canal.

Last time this case happened was... oh, yesterday, as there was some kind of party, kilometers away from where I biologically exist, but loud enough to reach my bedroom and my hand-covered eardrums... The sound harassment was more than just unsolicited "music": it was also fireworks, and all the noisy dogs (that's part of why I'm a cat and owl person) barking because of said fireworks (including the pinscher one that lives in the same house as me), and I could hear people "cheering" as well. Sometimes it goes beyond just annoying, sometimes I literally feel pain when I hear loud, unsolicited sounds (again, even when it's kilometers away from me but so loud it makes through my hands). Granted, this all makes me hate my own biological existence more than I already do.

Other reason, more rarely, is when I'm alone inside the car, either parked and waiting for something (e.g. when I'm a driver taking someone to a medical appointment and I'm waiting them), or driving through remote and devoid places where I don't need to listen to the car's engine anymore. In this case, I turn on the car's audio system (whose loudspeakers feel very loud to my ears, but it's just me as the sound cannot be properly heard outside the car, especially with the windows closed, because the speakers are simple and low-powered), connect this phone to its Bluetooth, and then I start playing... You guessed it, the same MP3 files among thousands

Even more rarely (it's been months since this last happened) I'm craving for music, and/or I'm intending to do a full ritual as some of the songs are Luciferian/Lilithian mantras/ritualistic/invocation songs.

Sure, my head sometimes has this "mental sound system" of its own, with recurring songs playing oftentimes outside my will. It doesn't make me seek physical reproduction of said music, because I mostly prefer silence nowadays. Together with me actively boycotting YouTube for two years and counting, being totally uninterested in watching movies and TV shows anymore, and even more uninterested in playing games anymore, my biological existence is... Yeah, precisely as you probably defined it right after reading this paragraph: boring, I guess. Well, not when I'm before dæmonic presence and/or creating art. I'm better producing my ritualistic art than consuming music.

I don't believe people enjoy music so much that it loops in their heads. For most it's background noise that stops once the music stops.
