music is one of those things that has turned into an over-saturated tool of consumption. there's quite a lot of people who have to have music going in the background constantly, it's like fast food. this is where the 'lo-fi hiphop beats to study/relax to' thing came from. to have even a single second of silence sitting with your own thoughts is considered something dreadful.

just like with drugs, or anything else, a mindful balance is required. if you stop masturbating or looking at pr0nz for 6 months, i guarantee the vanilla pics you used to like as a teen will cause a similar arousal.
