I'm obsessed with listening to music (keyword: listening). Sometimes I enjoy discussing and analyzing it too, or learning tidbits about its science or history. But all of this happens organically for me and not something I actively seek or crave. I have hundreds, maybe even a thousand, artists I like and plenty of genres, but I'm no stan of any artist nor music as a whole, nor do I want to be. I'm not competing with anyone, nor trying to prove anything, not even to myself. I'm not even trying to constantly find new artists or music to listen to. Two of my all-time favorite artists released new albums 3 years ago. I still haven't gotten to listening to them. By some people's "standards" a lot of this would be blasphemous. But I dont give a shit. I enjoy listening to music at my own pace with zero obligation. Music is very close to my heart and very few people I discuss or share it with because people often have a tendency to be so pedantic about something that they bastardize it.
Maybe you should consider music forums. Or get a degree in it so you can learn about and discuss music that thoroughly and academically. Or find musicians, because they often are very well-versed about the science and history of music and will be happy to discuss like it were second nature.
IIN I judge people based on the music they like
