It doesn’t happen much anymore.
It’s been a long time since any of us heard a song, didn’t really like it, but then ended up hearing it a hundred more times, finally coming to the conclusion, ‘ya know I kinda like that song’.
We rarely end up hearing songs we don’t really like, and when we do, we definitely don’t make it a point to listen a bunch more times just to see if it’ll grow on us. If we don’t like it, we switch it. Probably forever.
So is the arc of ‘it’s growing on me’ a thing of the past?
