Without music, life would have been a mistake," said philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. But you might be surprised to know that about 5% of the world's population is indifferent to music and some even dislike it.
This phenomenon is called "musical anadonia" (anachronism = "lack of pleasure"), and is expressed in the inability to respond emotionally to any type of music. People with musical anadonia will simply tell you that music "does not do it to them," and they do mean it. The music really leaves them indifferent, does not excite them at all (no matter what genre they are talking about), and will never make them "want to sing or dance." And no, they're not weird-just like that their brains are wired.
Surprisingly, this phenomenon was thoroughly studied only in 2014 by neurologists who wanted to examine what happens in the brain in people with a musical anadonia, and the MRI study found that the phenomenon was probably due to a poor connection between the auditory center in the brain and the reward center in the system In other words, in people with a musical anadonia, listening to music results in less (if any) activity in the centers of pleasure and reward in the brain, so all types of music leave them indifferent.
It should be noted that the researchers found that this is not about any personality disorder or inability to get excited about anything else in life. The range of emotions of these people is perfectly normal, except for the inability to respond emotionally to music alone.
So if you feel that music is not exactly your cup of tea, at least now you know what the reason might be.
