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’m weird as hell in that I enjoy music, but I rarely ever sit down and listen to it. Then the other day I learn that my three-year-old discovered Bush’s Glycerine on the way home from daycare and has now been asking for it on our Google Home. I realize, “Dude, I fucking loved Glycerine.”, and immediately set to assembling a playlist over the course of three days, made up of mostly older music I grew up with. But you bet your ass I still don’t listen to it. Anyway… That’s my TED Talk on music.
