Funny thing is, I have been regularly driven nearly into insanity by neurotypicals listening to the same few songs on repeat. One alt-girl (later turned christian conservative) tried to convince me I just had to listen to the same alt-rock song 100 more times until it clicks, and realize it's deep meaning (the deep meaning: sex). Yet my kind is characterized as liking monotonity and repetition.
My ex husband used to do that.
Some of the songs I even liked! But it was always a loop of the exact same songs. I couldn’t have the aux because it was his car and his driving, but I also couldn’t drive.
This is why I can't listen to radio at all, that and my tastes are way to eclectic to be satisfied by radio. How will I listen to obscure 1970s underground Ukrainian rock music.
Like my starting songs are repeated semi frequently but after 15 minutes it's usually songs I havent listened to recently at minimum.
