From time to time it happens to me. Now i'm again this way. I was, as usually, choosing what music to play (i always listen to music when i'm at home), and realised i don't want to listen to anything. old stuff: boring. new: annoying. Hardcore: too noisy, ambient: oh, i get bored.
I know tonorrow or the day after it will all end... But now i can't stand music
does it happen to somebody else?
Yes, it does happen to me.
And you described the exact same situation - I just get too bored for old stuff, having no will to try out new music.. But, then again, after aproximately two hours I eventually turn something on and the feeling goes away.
Happens to me, but then it makes the re-discovery of something I havent listened to in ages that much sweeter.
When you learn to play an instrument, you also learn to love the silence. you shouldn't abuse music, because then It'll have no effect.
Yes this happens to me from time to time. Then suddenly I will discover a new band or artist and fall in love all over again...
I think it happens to all people interested in music.
However, for me it's just a state when I'm tired of searching for new things. When I hear new thing, I either dig it and spend a lot of time discovering the artist, or just go back to old music because the new stuff is terrible.

Yeah, sometimes when I play my guitar (and I do it almost everyday), after few hours of playing I find myself just holding the guitar, the amp buzzing silently while I am staring through the window, daydreaming about the horizons.
Silence comes in its own ways.
Listening to music is a fluxuating thing for me. Sometimes I love any bit of noise I can get my speaker to ejaculate, sometimes I like it as background noise, and sometimes the thought of music makes me want to throw a baby through a store window.
I think everyone agrees that feeling "tired of music" doesn't last much longer than a day. Especially for hardcore music-lovers like us.

yeah same here.
this is not true for me. virtually all of the music i listen to is attached to some great memory or time of my life, so listening to the same, old music over and over, never gets boring for me. i usually just get tired of music that has no weight or connection to anything. sometimes, i'll purposely put off listening to new music just so i can find a moment to connect it to and make it enjoyable forever.
stop treating music as just ear candy and you will find a whole new world of appreciation for it. listening to music just to listen to it will make you grow weary of it. a-duh.
the more you know ~*
sometimes i just dont want to hear anything
i get tired of music when I sleep.

This usually happens when I sleep in the middle of the day.
I usually turn some calm music on (post-rockish-ambientish-calmness), turn the volume down and go to sleep. When I get asleep, I'm kinda happy with the music playing, usually it makes me dream something good, but when I wake up too early, the music pisses you off (because it always seems to be too loud).
yeah this happens to me sometimes, just not in the mood to listen to anything old or new.... so silence it is.

same here.
i get tired of music.
like, i used to listen to music while i was running, and now i hate it. i like to zone out with just me and my thoughts when im jogging.
same with walking around campus, most people are always plugged in but i like to hear the subtle sounds of life around me; the scratching of feet, clothes moving in step, faint talking, cars, the train.
and then i like silence. complete.
bless.
it never happens to me.. sometimes a band will get tiring.. but never will music seem to be a strain
music is something i need to help keep me from going crazy
I get bored of music, sometimes I just want a bit of quality quiet time.

Now and then i'll scroll through my ipod and find nothing i wanna listen to... when i tell people, they say its hard to believe having over 30gb's and not one thing is appeal.
I've got a good mix of stuff too.. but, as said.. everyone gets in that mood where its all just... Not appealing.
i like to venture back to Linkin Park or old school Incubus when that happens. Stuff from that era or so.
i'm always downloading sumthing new so this duznt happen much

Same.
i definitely understand how this could happen when you're just collecting digital albums all day, it's pretty inevitable when you just download something without having a connection with it or being sure you could find one. it happened to me a little bit back when i first started downloading, but i started to just seek out new, legitimate bands in genres that i really like/am in the mood for instead of just downloading random stuff. Then i actually find a connection with the music (via analyzing structure/style and reading about them all i can) instead of just blankly listening to new things. usually it's several genres/bands at a time, mixed in with the old stuff, so i haven't really had a problem with things losing replay value for a looong time.
stop collecting mp3s, connect with music.
^ exactly.
another reason why i still buy cd's.
I get tired of new music definitely and find new stuff quite hard to get into. I mean, it has to be really good for me to enjoy, otherwise I lose interest quite quickly. It also annoys me that there is so much middle-of-the-road dross around at the moment (aside from the few gems) both in mainstream music and in metal/hardcore - who signs these people?
I can honestly say I've never got bored of music.
There are way too many flavours.

Agreed.
Music's a great friend to me but I think it's good to have a break from each other every so often.I tend to be pretty cyclic with all my interests and passions other than beer, weed and sex.

My thoughts exactly for these 3... Man, I'm agreeing with Theis on 2 different stuff.... Wow !! :)
absolutely. i have the feeling that i rarely can get into contemporary music. it just bores me. even productionwise.

Holy shit, wow.... phew! Anyways, what was I gonna say... Oh yeah
I get bored with music because it's hard to find new good music, even from bands I like. Music today kinda sucks. I search relentlessly for good "old" music. I was deprived of some of the music in the 90's because I was listening to the mainstream shit, you know, like a lot of rap. So now I am getting into some bands from that era. But a I only end up really gettin into like one or two songs and I play that shit out till I'm sick of it and ready to find more music.
what happens to me sometimes is, i put one cd into my cd deck and half a song later i want to listen to something else... it's a horrible feeling...
i've kinda learned how to get over it... smoke half a joint, it'll make you peaceful, might make you sit in one place and enjoy whatever you're listening to. but it only lasts till you're stoned...
yeah, been there, i hate it when that happens, and i agree with someone who said "collect albums, not mp3s", so true. the first time i experienced this was when i was downloading a whole lot of mp3s. complete discographies, just so i could own a lot of music. i still have a load of music that i haven't heard... sucks.
