I don’t listen to music. Let me clarify, if I need to drown something out I put on the same half-dozen Classical music pieces that I can ignore while working, but outside that I do not listen to music. I listen to podcasts and audio books when commuting, playing games, cleaning, etc. I cannot tell you the number of times I have been told I was insane, weird, a serial killer, etc. all because I don’t listen to music. So, yeah, not just sports fans who treat people like trash if they don’t partake in their hobby. |

I'm sorry if some music lovers treated you this way. But did this happen at work? Musical tastes tend to be diverse these days, so I never hear people talking about music at work unless they already know the other person shares their particular taste. I talk about music with one of my coworkers, but that's because we found out with our shared music libraries (we have music libraries we bring to work and are then able to share with others on the network) that we like a lot of the same stuff. We even ended up going to a couple of concerts together. But again, this wasn't because anyone was badgering anyone about talking about prog-metal bands, it was because we found out through our music shares that we liked the same bands. Our coworkers mostly listen to other music (a few don't seem to listen to any), so we never talk music with them. In short, I just have a hard time imagining people these days talking much about music at work.
