&gt; Music that is predictable is boring. Or music you&#x27;ve listened to a lot and have learned to predict.<p>You just haven&#x27;t learned to pay proper attention. I can listen to the same piece of music over and over and over again and not get bored. I stop usually not because I&#x27;m bored of it, but because I&#x27;ve had my fill of that kind of experience at that time. I might return to listening to that piece later. The piece falls into a &#x27;rut&#x27; in my head and becomes a platform on which I can have all kinds of related thoughts and experiences.<p>When I&#x27;m of a mind to do so, I might listen to a particular piece of music hundreds of times over the course of a week or two.<p>Here is an article that describes a similar kind of practice:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;books&#x2F;2015&#x2F;feb&#x2F;09&#x2F;centireading-force-reading-book-100-times-great-idea" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theguardian.com&#x2F;books&#x2F;2015&#x2F;feb&#x2F;09&#x2F;centireading-fo...</a><p>Just because you can predict what&#x27;s happening next doesn&#x27;t make it boring. You just chose to make it boring.
