Do you get sick of the same songs and how do you combat it? (lemmy.world)

If I find myself overplaying certain songs, I sometimes have to force myself to take a break because when I don't, I usually end up ruining/disliking the song. I hate when this happens because perfectly good songs that I love end up irritating me because I have heard it too much. Do you stop listening to those songs or just play it as many times as you like?

EDIT: changed title to be open-ended.

Nah, once I like something enough to listen to it in purpose the third time, I don't get burnt out.

Now, I do end up decreasing the frequency of listening after a few days because there's other stuff I like that's already had the new worn off.

Like, right now, I'm semi obsessed with this dude that started on YouTube, Carson McKee. I'll end up listening to my favorites every day for about a week, then his stuff will go into an ever widening rotation of the genre/s he's in. I just came off of a series of metal kicks, with some of the more recent releases by Judas Priest being the most recent.

I still regularly listen to stuff going back to when I was a little kid. I just never burn out on music I like.

I envy you, and hell yeah, Judas Priest!
