I don't like music and don't listen to music. When ever someone ask me what my favorite song is I say I don't listen to music, you would be surprise how people can get really disturbed.

I can't imagine my life without music. It means so much to me and sometimes I feel like it keeps me sane.

Scumbag DNews: makes video about hating music, uses the most insane music in the background.

I think part of it is also because we use music to stereotype and classify people. If I say that so-and-so listens to country music, you immediately get a different personality picture in your head than you would if I said so-and-so listens to heavy metal. If a person doesn't listen to music at all, maybe it just makes us nervous because we don't know how to classify them.

Music = Life No Music = Life

I had a friend in middle school that didn't like music at all. he was probably the most enjoyable person I've been around . He was very centered, and okay with himself.

You completely switched topics here. You started talking about why it seems weird that some people don't like music. I find it more interesting why they don't like music.

Music is such an important part of my life. Songs have the power to influence emotions, bring up memories, and entertain us. I think it's hard to understand how that could not be the case for someone.

I think he nailed it when he said that people are uncomfortable with those who don't like music because is a social thing. Because music is one of our first group bonding activities, other than eating, it seems off that a person doesn't enjoy it. Even the title of this video reflects his bias against people who don't like music. Rather than saying something along the lines of "Why do some people not like music?" it asks, "What's wrong with people who don't like music." When there really isn't nothing wrong with them, but even the person who wrote this title feels there is.

I liked music more when I was a teenager. Now I like it okay but I don't actually buy it and listen to it much. I just play the radio in the car. If someone didn't like music I doubt that I'd even notice. It probably wouldn't even come up in a conversation. And if I did find out I wouldn't care. I'm more disturbed that people would treat someone who didn't like music as an outsider or a weirdo.

I have Aspergers syndrome. For as long as I remember, standard music (everything with lyrics) has never interested me. All my aspire friends have the same experience with music. However there is music I like, its usually theme music from film and game or instrumentals. For some reason, I can never click with lyrics, it ruins the music for me somehow. Its frustrating when someone asks me what music I like, or I find my self in a conversation about music.

maybe they just dont like music because most of the shit they hear is...shit quite frankly. I blame the radio

I never put on popular music at home, I switch to talk radio in the car, I do not enjoy going to concerts, I do not buy any music from stores or download sites, I have no favorite band, and anything musical is uninteresting to me, etc.. That all being said, I do appreciate background music in video games, tv shows, movies, etc., as it adds atmosphere that makes the medium feel complete. I set my ringtone to super mario theme and I enjoy hearing it when someone calls me. Sometimes when I am feeling nostalgic, I youtube theme songs for old tv shows or video games that I have great memories of and I can feel moved by remembering how much fun I had playing that game and the friends I met during it. So am I broken as this video suggests or not? It seems I am not interested in any music or activities surrounding music that my society likes, but I do feel moved by music that is in the background of other things that I enjoy later on as it makes me think of those things. edit: I should also say, that I don't hate music. When other people are listening to it I can sit there and not be negatively effected by it. I do prefer music that sounds happy over music that is hostile or rude like some rap, but I would never turn any of it on if it were left to me.

Considering the amount of repeats of crap songs on the radio I can understand why some people wouldn't be into music.

I really can't believe these comment, just because someone doesn't like what you like doesn't mean you have to declare them as your enemy or say that they hate them

I cant imagine myself without enjoying music ...

I used to not like music at all and never listened to it. Then I started listening to Hard Rock. Turns out I like songs with meaning.

I don't personally understand why this is really an issue for people. While "I" like music, I won't distrust somebody that doesn't. Not liking music isn't a disorder. Not liking anything isn't a disorder. Not liking or not trusting somebody because other people "don't" like something is a disorder that, unfortunately; most people have.

I find it annoying that so many of the majority of people who do like music have to somehow make it about themselves, as in "I just don't understand it" and going on to explain.....yet again....how they "just couldn't live without music. Yeah great. It doesn't matter what you think about it music person, and those that don't care for music really don't need to hear all about what you can and can't live without.

I knew someone that didn't like music, I just can't understand it, music is one of my favorite things in life, how someone could not like any music at all is beyond me.

Not everyone likes music. lets play music through the video!!!!!

I just don't like modern music, all auto-tune with the worst sounding synths ever made. There's no Heart or Soul put into music today, just mass-produced crap.

I remember a girl that I had worked with once asked me what type of music I liked so after I told her what I enjoyed listening to, I asked her the same question. She explained that she didn't really listen to music. She didn't necessarily hate music, but was just neutral about it. I found that rather peculiar.

I only like listening to music when it's on a tv show or a movie

Imagine another world that humans evolved out of where it was the reverse and only 5% of people could enjoy music......

I didn't like music for almost 20 years. Then I found out I was just very picky and mainstream music being mostly garbage had kept me away from the good stuff. Turns out that the good stuff can move me to tears. Imagine going your whole life uninterested in something and then finding some of it that hits you that hard. It was a trip.

As someone who can’t live without music, the comments here are mind-boggling.

What's wrong is that people simply can't comprehend difference. They hear of someone who doesn't like music and just think "maybe they haven't heard the right kind". Trust me, they've probably listened to all kinds of music as friends constantly suggest it for them. They know themselves better than you do. Reminds me all too much of "she's only asexual/lesbian because she hasn't met the right man". Fucking idiocy. Not everyone fits into your strict criteria for human, and not everyone should.

I don't like food. Well, I think some food taste good and I enjoy eating it, but I would rather just not have to eat at all. Or just take a pill a day. It's such a hassle and definitely not worth it.

I will be honest I never like music, the only time I ever listen to it is when I am in a car so there is a background noise; and when I do listen to it, it is usually the same song, the one I got about 8 years ago.

I didn't realize people felt so strongly about music. I never really cared for it much :/

I don't like MOST music, I'm perfectly fine with videogame music like Pokemon and Zelda though.

How about nothing is wrong with them and its simply a matter of taste?

I'm not into music. It just doesn't get my interest. I still Liston to it, but I don't need music at all. I could go forever without music and not care.

Music fucks with my head, I can't tell if i fucking love it or absolutely hate it.

I don't like music, I have some soundtracks but never listen to it, I am just not interested...

I'm not really into music but I feel emotion when I hear it... I just don't really feel like listening to it all that often anymore. I only really listen to it for only a handful of hours a year. When I do listen to music I like I really enjoy it; I just don't need so much of it. Some people listen to music way too often, like 24/7... it's insane.

I like music, but I'm very picky with the sound. A lot of it I get bored of or don't like. I've nearly gotten to the point where I don't listen to music at all.

Never disliked music, but I didn't start listening to it till I was about 20. never really cared.

in my school, its kinda hard to not get teased in band when you dont like music- i mean, i joined band to understand why people like music, BUT ITS JUST SOUND. but why do people talk behind one's back and tease them because they cant find "meaning" in random sound frequencies. After studying math and science (specifically sound and psychology), i got some insight into why others might like it, so why can't they do the same thing for me, understand why one is different. COME ON WORLD.

I'm a part of that 5% :)

I didn't like music until i was 14 and people got mad at me when i said that i didnt like it. Well now it is one of my favourite things but it is really sad how people react to someone different.

I'm 16 and I really hate music. The only types of music I could ever listen too are classical piano and such calm things. When I was a kid my parents would argue, fight, hit eachother, etc. But they would Always blast music while they did. So, sleepless nights for 8 or so years made me hate music. I guess.

Nothing is wrong with people that hate music. Something is wrong with people that feel like they should be singing all the time as if somebody want to hear them. Most people are not saying anything of any importance. All the music is about sex and drugs. Who wants to continuously hear the same things over and over again!??

I love music (look at my icon) but I rarely listen to it. I love it on a level where it requires just as much concentration as watching a movie or reading a book and I will never understand how people do homework and listen to music at the same time. I also interpret it more as noise, so I can't really make out any of the words unless I read the lyrics. Also I'm such a music snob it doesn't even seem worth it to manually skip every other song.

I sometimes enjoy music and song but most times I just don't really care about it. I always find it weird that people keep saying "music is my life". I don't really get why they feel like that.

I don't like it when people ask "What is wrong with..." There is nothing wrong with anyone just because they are not like you. Not everyone is the same. Not everyone likes music, not everyone wants to have children, not everyone likes the same foods that are prepared the same way. If someone want to eat a hot dog plain with nothing else, not even a bun, then so be it. Nothing wrong. It really bothers me when I ask for a plain hot dog and they give me a disgusted look or put everything on it anyways. I even get upset when they do that to other people other than me.

When someone asks me what type of music do I like I say all kinds cause I have no clue what the types of music there are😹

I really couldn't care less about music, so I guess I'm that 5% :P

I dont really dislike music but I can't understand people who hear music all the time...

People who dont like music freak me out. Like there is so many forms of music and you literally have music from birth with the rhythm of the heart beat… but that’s so weird….idk. Like its so weird.

Music doesn't move me, I can enjoy some songs with good rhythm and melodies but is not like it make me feel any emotion or something I just like the pattern that's all.

Yeah, I experience all of these problems. I dislike the majority of music. I get no emotional response from it, so it's purely about pleasing arrangements of sound for me and I don't like the way most music sounds. I also hate food. More than music. I can tollerate listening to shitty noise, but I can't handle the smell and taste of most food. I get a lot of flack for that to the point now I have to start with a long introduction about the neurological and biological issues I have in order to explain why I don't like food. Thankfully, I have no particular desire to belong to groups so I don't really give a crap what people think about it.

I use to really like music, as I got older it just makes me feel uncomfortable I can process it just fine.

as a person who doesn't like music i really like how he says we are not weird.

I don't care about music, at least compared to people in my age group who base their entire identity around the genre of music they listen to. When people ask what music I listen to and I say, I don't really listen to music, they look at me like I'm crazy. It's because they can't pin me down, and categorize me or guess what my personality is, based off of some stereotype.

These lyrics describe the joy of music :) "Last night I had a vision of a disco in the sky. I saw angels and saints dancing together, like a mystical dream inside of my mind. I remembered to move, I remembered that groove, I remember the thump of the bass and the pump of the kick, because my heart was almost out my body. I felt free, I felt joy, I felt things I never thought I'd feel before. It was deep, it was soulful, it was techno... it was disco. A kaleidoscope of sounds. It was truly underground. It was an essential mix in the clouds, where we could dance and sing out loud, and everybody loved everybody else. There was no hurt, there was no sorrow, there was no pain. And like children we danced and we laughed, and we played without a care in the world. Without a flicker of despair, it was all about house music. It was that thing that we shared. A tribal feast of rhythm, a ceremony of sound in my mind. I must of went to house heaven… because nothing is that divine." -Jamie Antonelli -Divine (Original mix)

i dont like music. ita coarse and rough and irritating, and its everywhere

Here's a tip. If you are making a video about people who don't like music you are going to get people in the comments who dislike music. So why put music in your video?

People who don't like food are the best people to be around. You can eat all their meals for them.

I found this all very fascinating. I really find it very bizarre that there are people out there that don't enjoy some form of music of some kind.

I would rather ask what's wrong with people who like music. Where in nature does animals listen to music? Nowhere, it is man made waste of time.

I remember when I first got into music. It was when I was taught the Garmoshka and a little Balalaika. I was introduced to Russian Folk music. Then when I visited my grandmother in Japan, she played Shamisen, Shinobue, and a little Sho. She really liked to play by ear and taught me the basics of the Shamisen (Which I'm starting to get back into) and not only would she do traditional songs, but for an older lady she liked a lot of modern stuff so sometimes, she'd turn on the radio and if something like GackT were playing, she'd play her Shamisen along with it so not only was I introduced to older styles of music but even modern styles like J-pop. I now am a self proclaimed Vocaloid producer and also I used to do Garmoshka covers of songs (Though they were all deleted). Without my introduction to different styles of Music, I would be a generic 16 year old Russo-Japanese girl who just sits around on her laptop all day

I tested this myself a while back by starting conversations with people and eventually bringing up the fact that I didn't like music. I noticed that the people who seemed weirded out more than others tended to have a music background in either a band, orchestra, or choir.

I would think it's simply so widely accepted that everyone loves music that it's hard to believe anyone doesn't.

I'm okay with people who don't like music

what about people who don't like chocolate?

I prefer the sound of silence because Id rather hear myself think. Music distracts me from thinking. If I do listen to music, I have to give it all of my concentration. And by the way, I love love love love love musicals! Nothing like a full orchestra to convey emotions!

I don't listen to music. It works for me in movies and TV shows but listening to it on its own just isn't for me. I guess I'm more multimedia.

Wow so many music haters here. I guess it must be pretty frustrating. Okay, so I know this is totally unfair and I really don't mean to offend anyone, but I realized the other day that the reason I'm suspicious of people who admit to hating music, or not being moved by it is because I secretly think they could be psychopaths. A bit extreme, I know. (not that I think this of anyone I know personally. Everyone I know in real life, I think loves music. ) To me music is intrinsically linked to emotions, love, sensitivity, etc and I just kind of assumed if music can't pull it out of someone, nothing can, they must be incapable of feeling anything at all, just hollow. I know, this is probably not the case with most people, and music is a highly objective experience, so I'll try to keep that in mind. I'm sorry, I know it's stupid and judgmental. I remember that sometimes (rarely) I get in moods where no matter what I play, nothing really affects me, and so I guess it's like being like that all the time. But man I hate those moods. Usually they're brought on by depression or anxiety though. To me music is life. I know it sounds trite, like I'm trying to be cute, but I really mean it. The right kind of music (especially music without lyrics, or just something with a really great atmosphere and melody /instrumentation ) can be like experiencing the essence of what it is to exist and be human in one great musical dose. I find that music can help to enhance certain experiences, and emotions, and maybe even define them in ways I never expected. Sometimes I discover things about myself, or things I may have forgotten. It speaks a language that is far more deep and abstract than any written or spoken language, it is a spiritual language, pure emotion. I just disappear into that moment, in that world the music creates inside me, emotionally and even spiritually. Music makes me feel alive and inspires my creativity and imagination more than any other art form. It's like a drug in a way, but not detrimental to your health. I would rather die than have my world go silent forever. (not that I don't enjoy silence too, so long as I choose to do so.) I honestly don't know how some people could lack this ability to be moved my music, but I reckon if they knew they were missing, they wouldn't be so hostile towards music and music lovers. There's music for nearly every occasion, and type of emotion, no matter how small or big. I find it rather tragic actually, that some people can't appreciate that, regardless of the reason. Although I will admit that listening to most radio stations for more than an hour or so will drive me up a wall, and I feel like pulling my hair out whenever I hear the shit my neighbors play. Maybe that's just how some people feel about all music. Each to their own.

Some people like music, some people don't. Doesn't seem weird to me. Some people like anal, some people don't. I'm sure there are other things that some people like and some people don't. I'm not sure I can think of any but someone out there must know of a third example.

It's not that I have anything against music, if people play it I won't tell them to turn it off. I just don't feel compelled to listen to music because I don't see the point in it.

I'd rather hear the world around me than a bunch of keening teenagers and songs about being in love/being in a divorce. Music is not a thing I remotely enjoy. Instruments are too noisy, and hearing a human voice singing puts me on edge. One of my biggest peeves is saying a phrase in conversation and then the person I'm speaking to breaks out into a song that happens to contain that phrase or is related to it. Ugh. It's really irritating.

Like... sometimes I do feel some emotions when listening to music it's just not something that would stay on my mind for a long period of time. I recently thought about it and I realized it's maybe because I've never had a feeling that some song was written exactly for ME.

Most people just talk about music or listen to music all the time that is why I don't really like hanging out with people I have never really found someone that just doesn't like music like me..

To the people saying music is a waste of time or it isnt special, you obviously haven't experienced chills when listening to a particular song that is so amazing to you...

Maybe the study(ies) didn't account for the music selections used in the study. It could be that within the 5% of the people who didn't respond to the generic songs/tracks they used in the testing just didn't like the songs they used.

The fuck? How do people enjoy food? Eating some "delicious high-end food" and some normal everyday food is the same to me. I don't understand why people are so into food

I'm one of the %5

I’m autistic and I don’t like music and I hate food I literally hate everything I’m severely depressed

Man I love MUSIC, I cant live without it. Plus music is all around us

This is me... I don't really care for music. The most I can enjoy music is when it's tied to something visually I enjoy like a music video.

i have to listen to music with my family in the car and it is so annoying i tell them to turn it down but they say im wierd because i don't like music

I was in love with music in church growing up, a teen with a Walkman listening while cycling, knowing and singing all the song lyrics while my Nan was driving. I used all my savings for my first big purchase of a karaoke 5 disk CD player with different modes. Always sang karaoke for my birthday and wanted the family to sing Christmas carols. I would record myself singing and then hide it the cassette tapes, singing to the animals in the back yard like sound of music or jumping on my bed with a hairbrush, dressing like Mel C from the spice girls for my 16th. I taught music and wrote over 100 songs in a year at 22 when I first finally picked up the guitar. I was in my second year of a degree in music at the institute of contemporary music performance in London. Then just before my final practical exam for the second year of my 3 year degree, I split and herniated my spinal disk by coughing. I then became extremely hyper-vigilant and have always been hyper sensitive but now had severe anxiety along with being diagnosed with the overwhelming disorder of BPD. Then slipped fast into Major Depression and have been on numerous medications that have destroyed my sex drive. Also then diagnosed with bipolar and having fibromyalgia I attempted suicide numerous times, never enjoying anything let alone music again. I wrote 1 song when manic and have not played it since. Someone told me to keep singing, I tried to explain that I have Anhedonia and I do not enjoy ANYTHING anymore. But was met with it’s my ‘decision’ and I am ‘in charge’ of what I enjoy or don’t. This is absolutely not true. I used to play many sports, was extremely artistic, face and body painting, doing avant-guard make-up for photo shoots, decorating luxurious cupcakes and making my own candles. I tried to paint one oil canvas - again manic. Never finished it and now I do not enjoy anything. I forced myself to listen to a Christmas Record I bought to feel more ‘Christmassy’, alone again. After having lost all ‘friends’ and ‘family’. But I was just waiting for it to finish. I have been to the cinema and the noise irritates me. Any noise drives me crazy and after moving recently I have made holes in the ceiling banging at the people upstairs as two 10year old boys jump and thump and laugh. I don’t want to be a grumpy bitter person. But I wish I could just hear nothing. My thoughts, conscious and unconscious are enough to enialate me. Clearly something in my brain has flipped completely. To be someone who taught music to special needs kids and mainstream with passion and went around with a beaming smile each day I got to do music. To avoiding it at all costs and even being annoyed and irritated by it. Things like ‘music or die’, ‘music is my life’ have always been stupid to me, but I lived that way. Now I almost hate it. Everything I loved means nothing to me now. My website and domain expired and so has my music career. I have no life and no future. Without music I am nothing. And yet I feel nothing for it anymore and cannot see myself doing anything with my life, I am a zombie, the living dead.

I don’t listen to music I don’t listen to any kind of music don’t follow or watch any bands and sometimes when people ask hey what’s your favorite kind of music? I say I don’t listen to music and they look at me like I’m a zombie.

i´m one of the 5% that dont like music.Although i have favourite songs,I dont really respond emotionally to music,with the exception of nostalgia.The strong attraction to music that most people have seems weird and excessive to me

I have a friend who doesn't like music. He's also asexual, obsessive, very numerate and strategically minded.

I am one of the people that don’t like music. I don’t hate it, I just don’t like it. I’m current in my junior year of high school and I don’t like the fact that I don’t like music, I try to make myself like it so that I fit in more. I don’t mind listening to it with other people, but I never listen to it on my own time, I don’t see the point in music. Nothing is wrong with us that don’t like it, we don’t have anything wrong with us. We just simply don’t understand why music is so valued. I’ve read online that as people grow older they start to not like new songs, maybe that is something that had happened with us, but at a young age. I remember sitting in my moms van listening to music and enjoying it when I was about 6-7 but I have not enjoyed music since then. I don’t dance to music, I don’t get hyped, I don’t even keep up with the new songs, I still will prefer songs if I’m listening to them with other people, but I don’t have a favorite song, or a favorite artist, not even a favorite band. Just a tiny bit of about every genre, but I’ve never gotten “happy” from a song since that moment when I was in my moms van.

I like music, but I kinda hate most foods and consequently avoid social eating. It has severely ostracized me throughout my life. I would love a clip elaborating about this subject!

I think that at least a small percent of the 5 percent just have not heard good music... everything that normal people listen to is just obnoxious to me, it took a long time to find music I liked. Pop, rap, electro, rock, etc... classical even is just, "meh."

I wasn't into music AT ALL and I was pretty much tone-deaf up until 9 or so. By now, at 18, my alarm is music on the radio and I keep the radio on as I get ready, I put my iPod in on the way to school, I've always got some song in my head and it's something that's constantly in the background of pretty much everything I do. I'm not sure why because being Welsh, music is a massive part of my culture. My sister began singing age 3 and first performed publicly at 7. My brother used to sing/hum himself to sleep at 2. I still don't know why it didn't 'kick in' until later but I grew up around music, I just didn't care for it.

Humans fear what they don’t understand. So when they see someone different than them, they fear them which triggers their fight or flight instincts

I used to "not like" music, until I started getting into Heavy Metal, before that, there wasn't any other genre that I could actually enjoy. Now I am so glad I got into this kind of music. I also really like Classical music and specially Baroque music :D

I simply find music boring. Sometimes there's a soundtrack or something that gets me pumped when watching a show but I never just listen to music by itself. I'd rather listen to a podcast or an audiobook if I'm stuck in a car for a while. I'd even prefer just to listen to the news.

I dislike music because of my trauma associated with certain songs. Now, all music makes me uneasy.

I think people think that it's strange when people don't like music just because most people DO like music. I mean, Trace just said that 95% of the population LIKES MUSIC. This means that listening to music is the norm, so anybody outside the norm is viewed differently. However, I could care less. Music is just an interest that I, of course, personally enjoy, but it's not required that people listen to it. Just like this: just because most Americans enjoy watching and, sometimes, playing football DOESN'T MEAN that all Americans do. I hate football; it's never made sense to me, so I'm not interested in it. It doesn't take away from people disliking me. It's just an interest I don't partake in. So there. :)

Wow. I'm so happy I don't have that condition. Music is my life!

The only time I like music is when only I can hear it. I hate it when my parents blast music like teenagers even though they are 50/nearly 50. I worry that people will get annoyed at us because we are blasted music, like very loud, and sometimes I have to leave the room myself because it is very loud.

I actually dislike listening to music and would rather just have silence even on long car rides. There’s a select few songs that make me feel happy because they remind me of my childhood and it’s even more rare that I find a new song that I like but it always has to have a really catchy melody. Most music to me just sounds like unnecessary noise. Idk why I’m like this I just don’t like it 😞

You don't have to like music. It's not an obligatory requirement to be human.
