Does it help you feel good/less stressed?

Do you enjoy the sense of discovery?

Do you feel the need to listen to more almost in a "pursuit of knowledge" type way?

Do you just find it simply enjoyable?
Probably all of that. Originally for discovery / learning, the same reason I've explored music from my teens really. It becomes a habit I think, and some probably need that feeling of excitement freshness and challenge of discovering new things in their lives. Maybe it gives us that childhood feeling of things being new and exciting which makes our lives have more interest for us. I really had this long before the internet but of course it's even easier to feed this need for discovery now.
