A while back I learned that music can trigger dopamine release and that's where a lot of the satisfaction comes from. It's potentially addictive. People back in the day didn't listen to music every day, so i stopped doing it, and boy has it made a difference.
I listen to music maybe 2 or 3 days a week whenever I'm in a particular mood for it. I can drive 8 hours and not listen to one second of radio. Because of this, when I do listen to music, it sounds amazing. I love music. I find that music is best when listened to in moderation.

It comes in spurts. I can spend all day listening to a song or two and then go weeks without listening to any. And I listened even less in earlier years.
Personally I'm not much into escapism and tend to do things to broaden my horizons or keep a pulse on what is going on. That includes music.
