Do you listen to music knowing that you will probably not listen to it again?

So I suppose that on Spotify, just like on YouTube, when a artist doesn't put out new music, their views or listens go down.

Personally I don't listen to music unless it's music that I want to listen to again and again in the future.

Then again, I suppose you don't know if you're going to like it or not before you first listen.

So that leads me to the question, are there artists whose music stays having played on Spotify over and over even long after they released? Even if they don't release music regularly?

I re-listen to music from artists that haven't had stuff out in a while all the time. I listen to everything though. I'm a complicated spirit with a craving for variety. There was this group called "Avalanches" that only had out a couple of albums I could listen to over and over again.

Their music is unique. They sampled over 100 songs and made an 18 track album. The second album I don't remember how many samples they made. I remember some of the artists they sampled from were, The Mamas and the Papas, Madonna, and the sound of music.

I listen to it all though. Rock, pop, jazz, acid jazz, hip hop, trip hop, r&b, soulful house, progressive house, gospel house, classic rock, oldies, orchestral, SKA, alternative, and anything I probably forgot. I listen to music mostly when I'm writing. It helps me write. I like varierty though.

I rarely meet people who listen to everything who also listen to metal. But specifically, actual metal like say, morbid angel, not "metal" such as slipknot or Linkin Park.

So I'm just curious if you like any metal.

But at the same time, usually the metalheads I know do listen to everything as well. But like, there's 2 kinds of "I listen to everything." Metalsheads and then people who listen to everything BUT metal.

Just curious if you like any metal.

Oh yeah, I like metal also. Godsmack, Korn, Metallica, and I'm not sure if Marilyn Manson is metal because his music is back and forth, but I like him too.

I'm always looking for artists or bands I've never listened to also.

I've been listening to the same artists for over 20 years, new and old songs.

Not usually. I give it about a minute before I skip.

I mainly listen to music on youtube so if I like a song I just add it to my playlist and if I liked it enough I usually look into the band who wrote it.

Nope, I listen to classic venal, 50s and 60s so I will hear it again.

Yeah a lot of times

I feel like if an artist puts out music that I don't want to listen to again and again, I just stop listening to that artist.

Do you have artists that you listen to when they drop music, even though you know you won't listen to it again?

Why? Is it good once and then you don't need to listen again?

Actually I even download the songs in my phone and never listen to them again...
It's not about the artist it's about the songs.. some songs you feel that it's cool but after hearing it you see it's not that cool ,...
It's also connected to the feelings and thinking.. maybe you're in this song mode for just a little time and when you'll be again you'll never remember that you can listen to it again now
