i haven't done E in the past couple years, and when i did i only did it about 4 times, spaced >1 month apart, but within the past 2 years or so i've lost all my desire to seek out new music, listen to music i have, or relisten to anything i've heard more than once. i always had the problem to a certain degree where i'd get sick of music fast but now it's just ridiculous.

when i first started taking E i had a similar issue where listening to certain music was mentally "painful" just because it brought up so many intense emotions, good or bad, and i couldn't stand to listen to a full song that did this. what i'm currently feeling might be an extension of that where my mind is now avoiding even thinking about music for fear of these emotions, or it could just be some kind of post-stimulant anhedonia, i don't know.

has this happened to anyone, or am i probably just depressed? and i'm poignantly aware that this is not the place to seek answers to mental health questions; i'm just looking to see if anyone else had similar experiences.

thank you!
 
Just listen to Acid Bath, or Perl Jam, or Alice in Chains, or Temple of the Dog, Or Candle Box, Or Quick Sand, Or Mabye you just need a little Black Label Society in your life. If none of those bands work. PM me and I have tons of other music you never have heard of before and Guarntee you, you will LOVE IT! But NO E never ruined your taste for music. You are just board of what you listen to. That is why I am your source to better music.

I will probably get shit for this but I would say yes it is possible.

You say you already had this problem to a certain degree and that you got bored with music quickly - why did it bore you? You say that when you were using MDMA you associated certain music with intense emotions - was this just an amplification of what you already felt when sober?

When you listen to new music does it interest you? Do you get enjoyment from it? When you were using MDMA and had intense bad emotions linked to music, may I ask what they were - where they stemmed from?

Could you possibly link music with a bad time in your life - your sober mind simply gets bored - your MDMA mind relives the painfull experiences linked to a certain song/sound/beat/style of music etc
 
I have had a similar experience in the short term, but not on MDMA. Do you use any other stimulants? I've abused MDMA, methamphetamine, and dextroamphetamine, and of those 3, MDMA is the only one that caused increased music appreciation in both the short term and the long term. No way in hell would I listen to trance on a daily basis if it wasn't for MDMA. When I stopped using methamphetamine however, I couldn't listen to music at all, for at least 2 weeks. Every song I listened too simply annoyed me in some way, or reminded me of meth. Music was painfully bad and every new song I heard sounded awful. But that went away.
 
Absolutely not bro.

And that was a pretty awful list minus the pearl jam, but you didn't even spell it correctly.:|

i don't really know actually... just whenever i'd listen to a song more than ~5 times listening to it gave me this feeling like i was forcing myself to do something really boring. and i'd say mdma's effect on the emotional effect of music was pretty new and unique. i had felt sadness with certain songs before, but after taking E i had this uncomfortable "this song is so cool, i don't know if i can listen to this" feeling that made me listen to a song for 30 seconds and shut it off, or skip through it. it was kind of like an overwhelming mix of nostalgia and excitement.

nowadays, not really... though I've sort of lost my will to search for new music. and i don't have that urge to hear a song again after hearing it the first time. part of it might be that i don't like what's popular now, but when i go back to my old song library i find it hard to want to listen to any of it too.

the emotions... like i said it was sort of nostalgic sadness and excitement. i don't know if it was just that i subconsciously missed the experience of hearing music on E, or if i wanted to be sharing the music with other people (i should point on i mostly got this feeling when listening to music alone). i never thought about it too deeply though.

i did have a couple bad/mixed experiences on E in clubs.
 
It's not permanent. I mean, I can't promise you will be able to listen to music again but you can't deny the possibility that you will either, so don't even worry about it being permanent right now. Worrying won't do any good anyway.

For me, weed ruined music for a long time. I smoked weed every day for years and only listened to music when i was stoned. Music sounded so much better when I was stoned. Once I quit weed, music just lost it's magic for me. All it did was pretty much make me wish I was stoned. It took years for that to go away and for me to start getting some enjoyment from music sober again (I could still enjoy it under the influence of other substances). However, I never got 100% of the enjoyment back.

This is really a pathetic post, no offense. If you need a substance to enjoy music, then maybe music just isn't the thing for you in my opinion.

You make your self look stupid. Candle Box, and Quick Sand come from the same scene as pearl jam. They share the same characteristics. Temple of the Dog is the same music as Pearl Jam any ways. You really just are ignorant, and plus If you really think Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society sucks, then you obviously know nothing about music. The solo's are somthing your little kid mind could never do; plus he plays with one of the creators of metal, Ozzy. Stop bashing people you just make your self look stupid.
 
I'd have to say that the majority of the posters in ED would actually say that you are making yourself look stupid... But how about you just stop trying to argue against people on the internet and relax.

On MDMA, one can be forgiven for wondering why house music never sounded so good before. However, one can also derive quite a lot of joy out of Jazz and Classical. Miles Davis and Beethoven are good starting points.
