This involves consciously making an effort to listen to a song, and does not include accidentally hearing it.

Backtracking leaves you in debt of the amount you would take

    Don’t truly have a favorite artist, so to me, this is more of a question of how much money would it take for you to endure a minor inconvenience for the rest of your life?

    50k ?

    I don’t have a single favorite artist, I have dozens. So if you ask me to stop listening to one, really not that much.

    Hell, I’ve willingly done it before when they turned problematic, like with Crystal Castles

        With the caveat that I end up a mill in debt if I slip up? Nope. I know I’d slip up. The risk / reward ratio isn’t good enough.

        A mill isn’t that much money to have, but it’s a lot of money to owe. No deal.

          I mean if we’re just naming a price you could say something like 100m+, invest it for profit for X amount of time and either intentionally or unintentionally slip up at some point, pay back the original and be pretty nicely set with no further catch.

          Sure it’s clearly not within the spirit of the question, but still.

            It also says you end up in debt, not owe. So it would presumably cost you everything you have and THEN the original amount.

    It’d have to be an incredible amount. Music is my first passion. You’d have to give me huge fuck-you-money.

    $0 apparently. I used to love Kanye. I could mostly excuse his bullshit because he was just clowning on the black community, and as a member, I could ignore it. But when he went “defcon” on the Jewish community, I kinda had to take a step back. Not necessarily because of what he was saying, but seeing him on Alex Jones in that mask with the net and the yoohoo, I realized how actually insane he was. I haven’t actively listened to him in like 2 years, which sucks because say what you want about his mental state, the dude could make some good music.

      Same, the last straw for me was the ‘white lives matter’ Yeezy fashion show.

      Can’t fault you for that honestly. Kanye’s music has gone to shit now with his ever declining mental state due in part to his nitrous usage. Did you hear vultures 2? Complete shitshow; not to even mention the nazi shit

        Honestly I haven’t listened to anything past Donda. I love graduation and mbdtf, and Bound 2 and Moon still give me chills just for melodies. But I’ve still got Chance and Cudi so I’m good

    I don’t listen to my favorite artist much at all. I’ve listened to them a lot in my life, and i love their songs every time one comes up randomly, but I’ve heard all their songs so many times in my life that i almost never purposely play them

    You mean I could get paid to be told what my favorite artist is? Little ol’ indecisive me? Sold!

    Severe brain damage; to such degree that having the desire, or enjoyment of music, impossible.

    I would rather be a vegetable than give up Baby Shark.

    I don’t care about any particular artist enough to require a huge amount so you’d mostly be paying me for the inconvenience of remembering to follow through for 50 or so years.

    We’re looking at something like one annual salary because anything less won’t make enough of a difference to bother with the effort for half a century.
