I'm always semi-burnt out on music in general, and I don't really find that alternating between genres helps that much. Music that isn't *way* above average is far worse than silence to me. I only listen to a few hours of music a day and usually I make sure it's some of the best available. in fact I've been irascible exactly because I've been trying to care about modern music but at least three quarters of this year's prog albums that I've tried have been unremittingly awful and stupid. and I take it personally. ;P |
That's because prog isn't the arena in which most great modern music is being released. |
that's true. but a lot of metal and indie just doesn't work for me =( |
Drop me a PM with some of your interests and I'll see if I can find bands to fit them.

Whenever I start to feel burned out on something I like a lot, I get over it by forcing myself to watch/listen to chart pop music for a day or two, and suddenly everything is put into perspective and I'm fine again. I recommend it as some sort of anti-therapy

That's an absolutely great idea... when riding the bus or in some other occasion where they're playing chart pop or other insipid stuff I usually think "I can't wait to wash that out of my system with some good music"! ![LOL](http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif)

Yeah, I don't tend to listen to prog after listening to music that charts either.

Toaster gets "burnt out" on music .
I hate to say this, but absence makes the heart grow fonder? I find I get cravings for certain artists after I live in silence for a while and it's a lovely feeling rushing to put them on.

When I feel that happening I tend to listen to "classical" music for
lack of a better term. It's a genre that seems to have limitless replay
ability. For the good composers anyway.

I really do feel somewhat burnt out on prog. There's been a noticeable shift in my listening patterns from prog to indie that has been gradually going on in the past few months or so. I guess it's overexposure coupled with a lot of innovation and discovery within the indie genre.

I don't understand why indie is a genre... last time I checked it just meant bands that were on small record labels. ![Confused](http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif)

I see it as bands who are independent from mainstream trends and cess. A much more artistic and free kind of rock and pop.

That's still extremely vague... it could describe punk, prog, metal, industrial rock, folk or the weirder electronic stuff equally well. ![Wink](http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley2.gif)
Unless I'm mistaken and "indie rock" actually is rock with lyrics about Indiana Jones. ![LOL](http://www.progarchives.com/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif)
