> I feel like there has to be some sort of mental effect from listening to music constantly.

Why would there be?

Why wouldn't there be ?

Are you implying that listening to music has absolutely no effect on humans ?

[filleduchaos]

I suppose it depends on what definition of effect is in play.

To me it's like asking "is there an effect to seeing all the time?" or "is there an effect to listening to people speak Korean?" or "is there an effect to touching things?". Sure, there are second and third-order effects of using your senses - for example "looking" at an article will ideally cause you to learn something new - but our eyes and ears in particular evolved to be open practically all the time, and most music falls squarely within the non-injurious range of auditory stimuli.

Fair point, but I think the parent post was rather talking about psychological effects on subconscious.
