We all listen to music in our lives. There are so many genres out there: Pop, Culture, Classical, Hip-Hop, etc. We all can say we are music lovers, but to what extent are we one? Are you just a simple music junkie, or are you the all-the-way type of music junkie? Below is a list of 10 ways to tell if you are a true music junkie!
1. Everyone has, at least, one pair of headphones; but how about two or more? Some say more than one is excessive, but for a true music lover, there is no limit.
2. We all know that downloadable music is in, and much faster to obtain than CD’s or records. Most people have one way of getting their music. Well, ever thought about all three, like a real junkie?
3. Speaking of CD’s and records, those things would be everywhere. You have a full case of CD’s, or a whole bookshelf of records somewhere in your home. Why? Some to display, some to listen. Real music junkies never believe that too much is really “too much."
4. Devices- we all have them. Whether it’s a computer, tablet, or smartphone. But, on which do you carry your music on? One? Two? Three? Music junkies tend to carry all their music on every device. I mean, you never know when you need to switch devices and keep the music going, right?
5. Following the devices, the chargers for them. You always have one on hand in case you need to keep the battery up along with the music. Even just simple batteries for your stereos, there’s always some spares lying around somewhere.
6. Also on those portable devices- more like smartphones- the storage is mostly gone. Not because of the multiple pictures one takes, but because of the large amount of music they have on there. Yes, we know it’s too much. No, we don’t mind at all. For a music junkie, it’s music of photos. 
7. A person may listen to a song to hear the song as a whole. However, music lovers like to hear a song many times to hear how each instrument sounds and fits the song. Sometimes we’ll like every instrument, sometimes we’ll think a different beat needs to be used. It’s just how it goes.
8. Music can relate to our emotions. That sad song we heard after a rough day, or a happy song when something good happens. A junkie has songs for every emotion we can feel- even the “I don’t care about anything at the moment” attitude, don’t worry, there’s a song for that.
9. The playlists that are made. Some may just have a few. However, a true lover might have various playlists for various occasions. Driving home? There’s one. Shower time? Another. We have more than enough playlists for many occasions- maybe even having one for when it’s play time with the pets? Who knows!
10. Quoting song lyrics daily. Every day, something happens that relates to a song, so you just have to quote it! It’s the right thing to do- at least in the mind of a music junkie.
There are many more I’m sure others can come up with, but these are the top ten I can list as to tell if you are a true music junkie like myself. Did you match all ten? To what extend are you a music junkie?
