Interesting. Would be curious to find out if the sound-reception area of these people's brains were wired different from other folks.

Oh. My sister has this.
She doesn't get anything from music.
While everyone else is at least nodding a little to the rhythm,
she sits there and waits for the "noise" to be over.
And it does pretty much not matter which music it is.

I know somone like this, I've always found it odd, especially since I LOVE music.

I did actually consider it myself (well, for another forum I was moderator of at the time) but decided against it. Suppose it depends which jobs I am applying for. If I were to apply for a media/social kind of job I probably would mention it under "Interests" or whatever.

I'd drop the music bit & say 'Community forum'

That's not really fair, we discuss music on here every so often.

Yeah but it sounds more wholesome that way.

The last thing I want is to go to a job interview, mention about moderating a music forum & have the person giving me the interview say 'Maybe I should take a look at it, I'm into music. I love a bit of U2.'

I thought you said he liked music

Oh, pity on them and its a pure bad luck that they are unable to get pleasure while listening to any music, could not find anyone in real life or heard such news till now, very strange.

I can't say I've ever met anyone that doesn't enjoy music.

I know people who generally only listen music on the radio, I guess you can call them casual listeners. As far as people who straight up don't listen to it at all? Blasphemy!
