What happens to your brain when you stop listening to music?

Dude, me too. Going on it right now again. EDM and TRAP must really mess up the mind. All those noises and complex rhythms can tire a brain out.

This. Only listen to music when I am learning it on guitar or playing it. Streaming music into your ears all the time pretty much damages the brain and tires it out in my opinion.

 

Been two days since I have listened to music. Can concentrate on my studies more and won't waste time listening to music during study breaks. Did practice guitar. I will only listen to music if I want to learn it, never casually or for fun. Often times as I listen to music I let my mind wander and escape into some fantasy. No more of this, I have to live in this shitty reality. Fucking sucks man. Life is like dark souls mode.

 

I never really got into binaural beats. I used it for lucid dream back in the day (4-5 years ago). I guess it is easy for me to quit cold turkey because I've quit pornography and masturbation. One thing I noticed is that once I quit those two, the time I spent listening to music skyrocketed. Some days I would listen to music so much that I would get a headache at the end of the day.

 

Managed to go two days without music. Feels good. My mind is clear and I'm just about ready to go to bed. Had to fight off some urges today that nudged me to listen to some songs as I wait for my job to start.

 

I find it easy to get addicted to most things including movies, video games, music, and Youtube so I have to be careful or I'll just switch one addiction for another. About 3 months ago before joining NoFap, I went on an experimental "monk mode" streak and cut out music, junk food, video games, social media, and movies. After about 25 days without music (can't cut it out completely as it is still in public areas), I started experiencing eargasms when I listened to loud music. By eargasm, I mean when I would listen to the music, the hair on my skin would stand, I got goosebumps all over, I started having tears of joy, I had euphoria similar to the endorphin rush I get from running, and I felt like I could accomplish anything. This was a new thing for me and I've never experienced anything like it before. Maybe if I had kept going, I'd have experienced something similar during meditation.

 

I start thinking about you.

 

Not everything that's a stimulant is bad for you SMH

 

Matter of fact, music is very beneficial to you. We messed up on watching porn to much, doesn't mean everything else in this world that gives you temporary pleasure is bad for you. Live your life.

Porn is much worse for you, not even comparable. Music is so good for you....

 

Quit youtube brother. It is nothing but clickbait and triggering material. Only time I ever go on youtube is to listen to chemistry lectures or academic purposes. In addition to /nomusic I'm on /noYoutube as well. When you cut all this pointless stuff out in your life, you start to realize just how much time you have in a day and you can accomplish so much more.

 

What I'm saying is bc music is a stimulant, you shouldn't just not listen to it. Not everything that gives you temporary happiness is poison and toxic for you. You can have temporary pleasures.
