people who force their music on you are doing so in the same spirit as religious people who force their religion on you. believe it or not, they truly believe that they're doing you a favor.
on one hand, most religious freaks believe that it's their DUTY to spread the great word that has "set them free" and whatnot. them trying to get you to convert to their religion is their attempt at bringing you to salvation. so in that sense, they're only trying to bring positivity to your life, even if you might find it COMPLETELY fuckin annoying lol.
on the other hand, people who force their music are trying to do the same thing. we listen to the music we listen to because it gets some kind of reaction out of us. it might give us energy, it might slow us down, it might get us through a rough time, it might be our spring break anthem. one way or another, the music we listen to helps us get through our lives. in this aspect, music is similar to religion.
so naturally, we've found something that's fuckin awesome, something that's helped make our lives easier. of course we'd want to share that with others. why wouldnt we want to help others by sharing something that's helped us?
but this is where it gets problematic. similar to how we might find it ridiculous how religious nuts try to push their religion on us, others could find the way we push music onto them bothersome.
this isnt to discourage music sharing. contrarily, music is one of the best gifts you could give to someone. putting someone on to music that they end up loving is absolutely one of the best gifts. i cant help but encourage others to share music that they love.
however, we've got to look carefully at the way we go about sharing our love for music.
and damn, this goes for many other things other than music. but yall get the idea
