How different of a person would you be without music?

This, except the singer part. I'm too shy to sing in public.
For the most part, I don't think I'd be as well developed as a person if I hadn't got into punk. It taught me it was okay to be weird,and to take pride in my weirdness.

seriously, I'd be reading way too much philosophy and Existential poetry if there were no music and spend most of my life contemplating my navel

Haha, yeah, I'm a fan of Il Douchebag too. He's probably the strangest person I ever liked, but he's a great guy.

Eitherway, I can't say what my life would have been like without music as I have never been without music. But I know that if I had to be without music now, I'd probably be dead within half a year.

i would not be a person. but seriously i'm guessing this question is basically about being def and i'd probably be a completely different person, i'd probably be considered mentally retarded because i'm guessing if i were def asperger's would takeover completely that's my theory.

Its something that I've been drawn to since I was a baby so I can't really say. I've always been really attracted to music, not even just the sound but the scenes and the subcultures. I can't picture life without it but I think I'd be really, really boring and ordinary.

Oh wait...

I'm not asking what the world would be like without music. More so i'm asking what you as a person would be like if you didn't listen to some of the music you have listened to over the years.

I can reflect on the impact punk music had on my life and without it I may have a different outlook on life and such.
