From what I can see, there is no upside to enjoying music. People spend so much time and money (attending concerts, paying for streaming services, buying music, buying instruments, practicing instruments, listening to the music, etc.) that I'm able to happily use elsewhere. If I enjoyed music I might want to start using my time and money for those things.

If you were enjoying it then how would it differ from any of the other variety of things you already enjoy that you spend money on?

Honestly, I can't tell if the poster is just trying to live up to his/her username or not. The comments make little sense.
