Do you get sick of the same songs and how do you combat it? (lemmy.world)

If I find myself overplaying certain songs, I sometimes have to force myself to take a break because when I don't, I usually end up ruining/disliking the song. I hate when this happens because perfectly good songs that I love end up irritating me because I have heard it too much. Do you stop listening to those songs or just play it as many times as you like?

EDIT: changed title to be open-ended.

There was a time in my life when I was wary of wearing out certain songs, but now I just play them to death if that's what I'm in the mood for. Life's too short to deny yourself the pleasure of hearing a song that you really want to listen to...and if you DO get tired of your current earworm, so much? There's so much great music out there that it shouldn't be long before you discover something new that you can immerse yourself in.

Plus you can always come back to it in a few years and it’s nostalgic.

I played the shit out of Anna Molly by Incubus and whenever I listen to it I’m now reminded of the season of life I was living when I over listened to it hah.

I support this take. On principle, I retire bands and keep working to discover new music. Especially the type I find on bandcamp, where it's just some dude in a random basement somewhere creating it
