Until this year I had never been exposed to the discipline musicology, so that world is very new for me (and hence a bit exciting).
Your comment made me think that musicology is what me and my friends and many people I’ve met naturally began doing as teenagers. Nerding out on the stories of how music is made and believing those details are vitally important.
Forty years later a YouTube musician (Heinbach) mentions it’s his academic background in musicology just in passing and legitimates an ancient interest I dismissed long ago as immature.

Stumbling on Hein was revelatory for me too.
