Meloman is a state of mind!

The meaning of the word "music lover" is old as the world, and even a child of ten is familiar. It can be found in any dictionary and any encyclopedia. Meloman is a true lover of certain music. Some historians say that earlier this word was used to refer to all people without exception who displayed at least some interest in musical art. But is everything so simple as it seems? Let's try to figure this out.

State of mind

A meloman is a person for whom music, like air, performs a life-supporting function. It is interesting that they do not become them, they are born! Well developed with a sense of rhythm, melodism and voice data turn these people into professionals in their field. Their occupation can not be called a hobby in the full sense of the word, it is, rather, a predilection. The main territory of the music lover - night clubs, cafes and other institutions, where they "twist" the songs. By the way, all these people are professionally engaged in collecting music (CDs, albums, individual tracks).

Melomania as a fetishism

It's terrible to say, but for some people, music is akin to sexual relations with the opposite sex. In other words, they experience a certain attraction to inanimate carriers of musical information. There is an objectification of art: your favorite songs are played on your favorite discs, which you can always carry with you, fall asleep with them and almost pray for them! This behavior on the part of "musical people" has made some adjustments in the understanding of the term. According to some sources, the music lover is a musical fetishist.

"Split personality"

Of course, these people are wonderful interlocutors ready at any moment to give competent musical advice! At the same time, different music lovers behave differently: some are advised to listen in a certain direction, while others "pass through" on all subjects, everywhere selecting little by little. Such a paradoxical "split personality" among them led to the "bifurcation" of the concept itself. Now it is considered that the music lover is also the one who goes crazy in one single musical direction (pop, rock, rap, hip-hop, retro, folk-rock, dance, etc.), and the one that Manages to combine all this in one "bouquet". Naturally, music lovers in the first sense of the word at first did not accept their "omnivorous" colleagues, but after a while everything settled, and that term was rightly called both.

Sport and style

There is an opinion that many guys wearing an earring in their left ear are also true connoisseurs of musical art. This is almost the case, however, we will clarify. The fact is that male music fans are divided into:

• Athletes;
• Stiligus.

The first - these are people engaged in any kind of sport, for example, swimming or boxing. A sports music lover will never pierce his ear. This is done by musical dudes. By the way, there are many metrosexuals among them.

But anyway, the music lover is certainly an honorary title! If the music lives in your soul, then you are most likely her passionate lover, and someday you will surely understand!
