I had "dragon cum" stuck in my head for years (I think I picked it up from bad dragon) and now "gay homosexual women" has been stuck in my head for a few months now.
yeah things like that get stuck with me sometimes, i can totally relate
Snippets of songs. They go round and around in my head.
Constant loop. Usually a song I like and then it gets ruined by the repetition. Thanks brain.
One line, or a single riff... Round and round and round until something takes its place.
Yep. I've learned that this happening is a good indicator that I'm not doing well mentally and there's a thing I'm avoiding confronting.
Then I have to play brain detective until I figure out what it is.
Yeah 🫠
Same. I often wake up with random songs going through my head in the middle of the night. Sometimes it’s not the same one that was looping when I went to sleep.
Sometimes listening to the song gives me some relief from it, but not all the time.
Usually I have to find another song to replace it.
I think I'm lucky. If I have a song stuck in my head, it usually the entire song. Unless it's Kill the Poor by the Dead Kennedys, then it's just "Kill the Poor!". GAH
This is why i like orchestra style music, no lyrics to focus on so it's a little easier to deal with...
If I'm not listening to music or hyperfocusing really hard there's a constant looping snippet of some random song playing almost all the time, usually just a few seconds long. Changing it requires to listen to something else. I don't really mind it (as long as the song doesn't suck!), seems like my brain just needs a constant rhythm throughout the day. I always thought that it's normal for everyone until I learned about neuro divergence a year ago.
It used to be awful, I'd end up repeating the last thing I said in my head over and over 'til there was something else I needed to process verbally.
same, I'll get stuck on a loop repeating the last thing in my head. Listening to music helps sometimes.
Oh. I thought this was just me. I tend to repeat phrases or meaningless collections of syllables in my head, but I also got warrant’s cherry pie stuck in my head for several months once , which was awful
Bad enough that I cannot handle music with lyrics, with a few exceptions. Genres like post-rock are all I listen to.
instrumental music is so good. Bands like Chon (math rock/math metal) or casiopea (80s j-fusion) are among my favorites. If you like post-rock theres an italian band called massimo volume (means maximum volume) though they have lyrics so i don't know if you'd like ir

It basically does not stop
Non-stop, unless I'm listening to, or singing something. If something gets stuck, I have to listen to that stick specifically and read the lyrics while the song is playing... Then it goes away
Yes
It depends. Sometimes it hits hard and others I can just ignore it. My daughter and I do like to try to get songs stuck in each other's heads though, so we'll constantly quote lyrics to each other and try to pass them off as regular conversation
