Why can I listen to radio for hours but when I listen to music I actually like I feel exhausted after 1 or 2 albums? - Lemmy.world

I hope this is the right community to ask. Are radio stations doing something to songs? Or is it the playlist they use? Or is it me? Can I achieve the “radio effect” for any music somehow?

I think music tends to be exhausting when we're not able to predict what will come next in the song. It requires us to out much more effort into learning the rhythm. Maybe the albums are just new to your, or a new style that you're not used to?
