Having conversations about music with people is half the fun in my mind. It’s a creative medium so talking to people that have unexpected associations leads to lots of wonderful surprises in discovering new music. Also having context is also a huge part of deriving pleasure from a piece.

Algorithms that feed you stuff that all sounds similar is great if you need background music while you do chores or studying, etc. but for when you are listening to stuff more actively conversations with people is essential in my mind.
