This involves consciously making an effort to listen to a song, and does not include accidentally hearing it.

Backtracking leaves you in debt of the amount you would take

    Apparently: Them playing our local city square, doing a terrible performance, acting like prima donnas, and then after inviting people to come see them at the merch booth after the show, then never showing up.

    $0 apparently. I used to love Kanye. I could mostly excuse his bullshit because he was just clowning on the black community, and as a member, I could ignore it. But when he went “defcon” on the Jewish community, I kinda had to take a step back. Not necessarily because of what he was saying, but seeing him on Alex Jones in that mask with the net and the yoohoo, I realized how actually insane he was. I haven’t actively listened to him in like 2 years, which sucks because say what you want about his mental state, the dude could make some good music.

      Can’t fault you for that honestly. Kanye’s music has gone to shit now with his ever declining mental state due in part to his nitrous usage. Did you hear vultures 2? Complete shitshow; not to even mention the nazi shit

        Honestly I haven’t listened to anything past Donda. I love graduation and mbdtf, and Bound 2 and Moon still give me chills just for melodies. But I’ve still got Chance and Cudi so I’m good

      Same, the last straw for me was the ‘white lives matter’ Yeezy fashion show.

    Severe brain damage; to such degree that having the desire, or enjoyment of music, impossible.

    I would rather be a vegetable than give up Baby Shark.

    2 million would be nice.

    But in reality free. If I found out they supported Israeli violence against Palestinians or were Republicans or something it would immediately sour the music for me.

    Don’t truly have a favorite artist, so to me, this is more of a question of how much money would it take for you to endure a minor inconvenience for the rest of your life?

    50k ?

    My favourite artist changes every 2-3 years, as i fill my music library with more songs. So, I’ll have to give it that much time before i find another artist as my favourite. Why not? I’d take it for like 5000.

    It’d have to be an incredible amount. Music is my first passion. You’d have to give me huge fuck-you-money.

    I don’t have a single favorite artist, I have dozens. So if you ask me to stop listening to one, really not that much.

    Hell, I’ve willingly done it before when they turned problematic, like with Crystal Castles

    As little as 25¢ if they say they never borrowed it then got insulted when I say it’s not cool that they aren’t paying me back.

        With the caveat that I end up a mill in debt if I slip up? Nope. I know I’d slip up. The risk / reward ratio isn’t good enough.

        A mill isn’t that much money to have, but it’s a lot of money to owe. No deal.

          I mean if we’re just naming a price you could say something like 100m+, invest it for profit for X amount of time and either intentionally or unintentionally slip up at some point, pay back the original and be pretty nicely set with no further catch.

          Sure it’s clearly not within the spirit of the question, but still.

            It also says you end up in debt, not owe. So it would presumably cost you everything you have and THEN the original amount.

              Possible, but “in debt” can equally mean you just owe the money, it doesn’t have to mean bankrupt with the debt on top of it. If you owe your credit card company 10k you’re in debt 10k until you pay them, regardless of whether you have 1 million in the bank. Same if you have student loans etc.

    I have hundreds of favorites that I rarely listen to anymore. So, not much money.
