I'm 90% music and 10% lyrics. It's very rare that the lyrics hit me in any way. Probably 70% of the music I consume is instrumental (soundtracks, classical, electronic, ambient, etc).

I find comical music where the whole point are the lyrics super annoying. I mean stuff like Weird Al Yankovic, Les Luthiers (in Spanish), etc




This describes me as well. With the exception of J-pop/anime music, almost all the music I listen to is classical or soundtracks. I connect deeply with the instrumentation, melodies, harmonies, and rhythms far more than the lyrics, which is why I don't especially enjoy rap and am terrible at karaoke.


I'm similar but also I treat languages I can't understand or movie samples as non-lyric.
