91% of Americans listen to music with the average consumer spending more than 24 hours a week listening.Īs an audio addict, I end up searching for more songs by the same artist, more songs of the same genre, songs featuring the artist who made that one song, songs by artists that the original song’s artist collaborated with - anything to get my fix. Which makes sense considering music is also addictive. When this happens to me, I end up doing what any normal drug addict likely would: take more. To stretch the drug analogy even further, it’s almost like they’ve built up a tolerance to that certain song and they’ve become desensitized to it. Sometimes, when people realize they’ve listened to a certain song too much, they classify it as ‘overplayed’. The only thing that could potentially stop me would be the pain that comes with keeping my headphones in all day. But unlike drugs or sugar which are inherently self limiting (feeling sick after eating too much sugar, OD-ing on drugs), I’ve never felt like I’d listened to too much music in a day and forced myself to stop for risk of my eardrums bursting from being pounded too much. I can’t recall ever listening to just one song or liking just one artist. And just like drugs, music does a really good job at being addictive. Listening to music is essentially like using perfor- I mean, emotion enhancing drugs.

EMOTIONAL LISTENING TO MUSIC MEME FULL
Except music can do more than just target our pleasure centres to make us happy - they can take full control over all our emotions. We’re putting on fancy earplugs to blast special groovy sound waves straight into our eardrums that activate the pleasure centres of our brain in the same way drugs or sugar do. Granted, I haven’t done drugs before, but listening to music is extremely fun for me.īut most people don’t realize how odd that activity actually is. My friend Liam told me he doesn’t understand why people do cocaine when there’s so many things that are much more enjoyable… like listening to music. I’m not trying to make a definitive point but rather open up a discussion around music since it’s such an integral part of most of our lives, whether we realize it or not. You see, Tony is a sensitive guy who’s in touch with his emotions deep down - so you can imagine him crying to almost anything.Music hijacked my brain and I’m taking back control.ĭisclaimer: This article is written from my POV and others may be affected by music in a completely different way.
“ Tony Soprano crying to songs” is, as you can probably guess, an account dedicated to re-editing the scene over and over again with different music. The scene is an acting masterclass from the late James Gandolfini and it turns out that it’s also an extremely versatile clip.
The latest example of the show’s online resurgence comes from a new account which takes its inspiration from a scene in the show’s fourth season, in which mafia capo and stressed dad Tony Soprano becomes overcome with emotion while listening to The Chi-Lite’s “Oh Girl” on his car radio. That revival may be due to people finally catching up with the show in lockdown or it may just be that 20 years on from its first broadcast the show’s late 90s to early 00s setting feels comfortingly nostalgic. The acclaimed crime drama has experienced an online revival over the past year, inspiring a glut of memes and commentary through accounts such as “sopranos out of context”. A new Twitter account is giving fans of HBO’s The Sopranos the chance to see TV’s greatest anti-hero crying to their favourite songs.
