How to get into music again?

Been into a huge burnout recently, used to listen to hours of music every single day and shuffling multiple genres, now i don't feel it anymore neither i am looking and searching for new stuff. What could be the reasoning?
I've had the same problem over the years. I'll go for walks with my dog and enjoy the silence until something changes and all I want is music. Something as stupid as new speakers or a real good set of headphones could being back some interest too.

went into a similar funk for a bit; work/ burnout related, too.
prior to this i was more into more downbeat music, and I couldn't vibe with it when I was in the burnout stage; had to go with more upbeat stuff.
now I've reincorporated all my tunes.

You might just have to play with it to see what vibe you're in.
I'd recommend you try to force it a bit until if feels right, because I think music is very important to our wellbeing; esp if that is something that gave you joy in the past
 
I like going back and listening to music that I didn't like at the time, but now that I'm now open minded I give it another shot.

For example, I was never into Nirvana when they were popular but I day down and listened to them a few months ago and I could finally see what everyone else saw in them.

Did the same thing with radiohead a few years ago.

I've been doing this a lot in recent years, giving albums a chance that I never did when it was released. Not fucking Radiohead though. I started to do the Beatles from their first album but it was massively underwhelming so I knocked it on the head

Yeah I tried it with the Beatles and I still didn't really like them. It's funny, I liked John Paul and George but hated pretty much anything that was all Paul

Haha oh yeah I remember your thread in the jukebox, that ruffled some jimmies

I find with the Beatles I like what I like but I rarely come across something I haven't heard before that I can add as a favourite. And there is a ton of their music I haven't listened to properly. I should make the effort to listen to everything from the beginning, but after the first album I really couldn't be arsed
 
I wrote and played a lot of music in a bunch of bands most of my life, became really disabled 10 years ago and stopped living. Got on meds that gave me some mobility back but lost touch with people. Tried joining multiple discords to talk about music and writing songs with other musicians. Not a single person out of the hundreds knew how to play a single instrument and everything was about looking at some light show looking graph that tells u if ur song is good.

The one song i heard that sounded real and had an interesting guitar riff in it, the guy said he's never touched a guitar in his life and AI wrote the guitar riff and song for him,

Real music doesn't really exist anymore:/ It was so depressing.
 
you people sound just like the old fucks did when I was a kid, talking about the fucking Beatles and Elvis and shit lol.

I'm in a chat with two metal heads, one I worked with 10 years ago and one I've met once. We all keep each other in the loop of new releases and the like, our interests overlap but out of us 3 we cover brutal death metal to regular rock and everything in between.

The Jukebox is good on here, I get recommendations from the metal thread all the time, heaps of great recorded music still being made (though the poor artists make absolutely fuck all out of it)
 
Maybe u just need to clean your ears

Put your favorite song(s) as a pandora channel

in finding new music all the time that is often new and slaps
 
I can't comprehend how you could burn out on music.

Are you stuck on one genre and fuck all else?
