Posted this question on r/aspergirls some time back and I’d like to hear what users on Lemmy have to say.

Do you have a favourite song you don’t listen to a lot? For me, I can’t listen to mine regularly because I don’t want to “wear it out” and make it lose its emotional effect on me; I want to be blown away every time I hear it. It’s a rock song as well, and because of that I don’t want to listen to it much because it can be overstimulating as the instrumental is heavy (in my opinion). I reserve the song for special moments or moments I know I can listen to it better and truly appreciate what a masterpiece it is.

Anybody else feel the same way?

    Oh for sure! They tend to be music that’s far more technical or difficult to listen to. I listen to a lot of metal particularly and while I LOVE Lorna Shore, I’ve only listened to any particular song once or twice even so.

    There is one or two artists that don’t get old for me due to special factors that I can’t quite describe though.

    That being said, there are many bands I’ve dropped in the annals of time because their sound grew too familiar as well.
