I feel like I'm still in that pleb state

Like I haven't found a genre or an album to listen to that brings me the same feeling I get when I listen to the stuff I already do.

Maybe I'm just anxious.

>now I listen mainly to noise, power electronics, drone, and metal. All because I felt emasculated in high school.

It's been six years and I am still endlessly enamored by the world of music, every genre holds something unique and worthwhile and fascinating. I have over 3,000 artists in my library and I don't ever plan on stopping my musical exploration

I felt like listening to Metallica once
I got absorbed and now I'm autistic
