Everybody has a love for something, whether it is writing, reading or sports. No matter what it is you love, you hold a certain passion for it. Music is a common enjoyment for people, with some having more zeal for it than others. For many people, their lives revolve around it. It's an aspect of their life that helps form connections and build relationships with others. But, are you the obsessive, poster-on-wall, owns-every-piece-of-merch, been-to-every-concert music fanatic? Are you? Are you sure? Test it out then.
1. That pause that follows after someone asks what you're favorite band is.
It's like asking a mother to pick their favorite child (even though there's always one they like slightly more than the rest). It's easier just to be asked for a list of favorite bands.
2. Finding someone with your music taste is one of the greatest feelings in the world.
Soulmates? I think yes.
3. You find yourself often replaying that one song because you don't feel like you appreciated it enough.
Sometimes your mind wanders off and you're halfway through one of your favorite songs before you realize that it has been playing this entire time. Time to restart it.
4. Handing someone the AUX cord is a huge display of trust.
5. Rushing to the store when one of your favorite bands releases an album.
Must. Have.
6. Lyrics just casually get incorporated into your everyday speech.
Whoops?
7. Budgeting part of your paychecks to go toward concert tickets.
Or at least trying to. If you live in a city that bands often tour through, you may constantly find yourself scrambling for cash to purchase a concert ticket. That extra cushion of cash comes in handy.
8. The sadness that comes when you realize you can't afford the concert ticket.
It happens. Most of us are broke, let's be real.
9. It has the power to change your mood.
We all have bad days. Music feels like an escape and helps block out everything that's troubling you at the moment.
10. There is a wide range of music you listen to, but always that one genre you refused to even tolerate.
11. The word vomit that occurs when someone starts talking about your favorite band.
You try to stay calm and restrain yourself, but your undeniable love for them always manages to creep its way out.
12. Band tees. Oh the band tees.
Got a closet full of them.
13. When someone says that they don't really care for music.
'Nuff said.
