From a stream I did a few weeks ago where I introduce the idea of music "health". My idea was: if food can have health benefits AND health "risks", can MUSIC also have both health benefits AND "risks"? There are proven benefits to listening to music, such as aiding with sleep, mood, stress, and even serious psychological conditions that can be reversed from enjoying your favorite songs; that being said, can there be any adverse effects of listening to "the wrong" music, or "overconsuming" certain types of music?
We know that junk food and fast food is "bad" for you, and not just because of the nutrition, but it's ideologically unhealthy because of how and why it's made by companies to get you hooked on it more than anything else you eat. We also know that pop music is studied and crafted specifically to be SOLD, and to hook you in as much as possible so you keep buying and listening... What are the effects of allowing ourselves to be spoon fed music products that are solely meant to grab our attention, not "nourish" us?
This started off as just a fun thought experiment, but it quickly turned into a rabbit hole that I'm going to keep expanding and doing research on as time goes on... What do you think? Can pop music be "unhealthy"? If so, what kind of music would you deem to be "healthy"?
(I know this can "open the door" to conversations about facism, elitism, and all sorts of politics, but that's not what I'm trying to talk about here...)
