People are weird. I don’t like music either. I mean, what’s the point? For that matter, why do people like sex? Why do they LIKE to eat food, or get hungry for that matter, all things I have never experienced myself? More things that make absolutely no sense to me. I mean, obviously those serve a biological purpose, but I mean something deeper than a utilitarian reason. ALTHOUGH I do associate certain songs with things I like in a pavlovian sort of way, and so there actually is some music I like in a sense, but not for its own accord. For instance, certain video game music, just because I liked the video games that I was playing while I was hearing the music. But I would never, ever, ever derive any enjoyment from just listening to the music, I’d have to be playing the game. Though I may hum those songs while I’m running if it’s a game with lots of running, like canabalt or doom. I don’t know how many hundreds of miles I have run endlessly humming the canabalt song. Unfortunately humming it doesn’t seem to give me the power to run 100+ mph :(.

No, you’re weird.

This sounds less like normal variation and more like a medical problem. Are there things you do enjoy?
zortharg says right there in the post that ve likes video games.
