Don’t tell this guy about the times before the ubiquity of iPods and later phones.
OP, might I suggest a “music” detox? Spend a month without the need for headphone delivered dopamine.

Not a guy, but why would I ever do a “music” detox? Why is “music” in quotes? What else would I be listening to?
And what would I do such a thing for?
Turn my grocery shopping into a drag instead of a moment to enjoy and kind of a highlight of the day at times?

If listening to birds chirping and wind blowing through trees while you’re out for a walk is “no stimuli” you have a problem.

Then so does most everyone. It’s one thing to be “out for a walk” with the purpose of a walk, like in the forest or a park, but it’s a whole other thing to be walking for groceries and day after day just zoning out into the same things over and over. That’s insanity.
