It’s what’s referred to as specific musical anhedonia-different from general anhedonia, which is the inability to feel any kind of pleasure and which is often associated with depression. For Sheridan, a retired engineer, now a podcaster, who owns 12 vinyl records and hasn’t programed the radio stations in her car, “music sits in an odd spot halfway between boring and distracting.”ĭespite coming from a tremendously musical family, Sheridan is part of the roughly 3 to 5 percent of the world’s population that has an apathy toward music. Songs of love and heartbreak don’t bring her to tears, complex classical compositions don’t amaze her, peppy beats don’t make her want to dance. Allison Sheridan couldn’t care less about music.
