My current unsubstantiated evpsych theory is that music is a collective mood-control language. A communication channel for getting everyones’ attitudes in synch, songs to be used by the confident members with clear vision, to be shouted down if misplaced, or amplified and repeated if resonant. Does that sound plausible, considering your situation? Is it possible you’ve developed under conditions that would naturally cause you to be especially unreactive to a thing like that?
I could understand the pursuit of sanity would correlate with a disconnection from the mass’s attitude control systems. Sometimes I find even as I laugh I wish the funny-man would shut up, as I dance I wish the music had not spoken to me, as I help I wish I had not been able to empathise in the first place. I wish I could just think my own thoughts.
My situation doesn’t make your theory more or less plausible in part since I’m such an outlier on this . There is nothing in my development that would cause me to not like music.
