Comment on We need libraries, but instead of books, you borrow musical instruments.
trashcroissant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 hours agoPeople who can’t afford instruments would disagree with you, I’m sure. Imagine all the great music we miss out on because someone couldn’t afford an instrument or a lesson. What we need as a society is to provide for each other.

Right … but you could say that about a lot of expensive and niche hobbies.
Imagine all the terrible music we were spared because talentless randoms couldn’t just pick up an instrument for free.

Dang your pessimistic rhetoric is wild. Humans being musical isn’t just a hobby it’s one of our species defining traits.

No it isn’t. Whales and birds sing … it’s a hobby.

Ants farm. So farming is a hobby?

Have you installed bugs at all of your neighbors houses or something?
Probably not, because if you did you’d be more annoyed at people who play their instruments well. That requires hours of boring exercise that don’t sound well at all. And even when they practice a piece, they’ll usually practice 4 bars on repeat, for an hour.
