Here is my take on the issue, or at least how I am.
I like some music, listened to a lot of it in my younger days, played drums in a few bands, but now at 30 I am not into it as much. I even worked in the music industry for a few years around a bunch of music fanatics.
There is just not much out there for me anymore. I have rarely found a newer group that I care for. All of the old stuff I like, I have listened to so much, I can't listen to it anymore. I just can not listen to the same thing repeatedly. I tire of it after awhile.
I guess I have given up after so much crap has been produced, marketed, and sold to people.
In a way, I am indifferent to much of the same variety that I hear now. Although, I did order a box set today with a gift card.
To sum it up, I don't dislike music. I am just selective about what I like. When I do find something I like, I listen to it often, but then it gets old. I only watch movies a few times, then can't watch them anymore. So, many times I don't listen to music for the above reasons.
Yes, I am odd. Maybe I just hate everything, and should move to a cabin in the woods. What are your opinions?

Do you know any? What do they say about it other than they don't lke it? I don't know any personally but when I hear of them I'm intrigued. I can't fathom disliking music.
I couldn't imagine people not liking music.
Music and comedy is was keeps me above ground.
I've always said my hero's were comedians and musicians.

YES! I went on a couple dates with a woman who on the second date revealed to me that she didn't listen to music. Now, if you wanted to be rid of me quickly, there would be few things besides saying you don't listen to music that would get the job done quicker..........maybe that you had a scorching case of herpes, for instance. Needless to say, I never asked her out again.
It is absolutely unfathomable to me that there are people out there that don't listen to and enjoy music of some sort, sometime. It's such an emotional quencher for me that I wouldn't last long without it.
I knew someone who admittedly didn't care for music. But he was married to someone who was more 'normal' in this area, so he occasionally went to a concert (for her).
I knew one other who never listened to it willingly, either. He was an eccentric engineer who focused completely into his work, never turned on a radio for some musical accompaniment, ever.
Music soothes or energizes, makes one happy or depresses (usually a particular song). It can bring nostalgia (good or bad), set one's mood, even alter one's mental state (usually drums). It's very powerful, so it's difficult for me to understand that a person can't like some type of music.

I've known too many people who can take it or leave it. And unfortunately most of them having been on the boring side in all areas of their lives. Even many of the ones with college degrees and superior jobs. Seems there comes personality with a love of music.
But also I agree with SP. I can busy myself all day on a mountain and be perfectly content with the actual sound of silence. But, if a campsite exists and a guitarist is near, it is only fitting and really highly desired to have a tune played and/or sung.
I cannot comprehend not LOVING music of some kind. It's been with me since birth. My parents always played 45's and the radio. I had to listen to a lot of awful 50s and 60s stuff for many years, but I'm glad it exposed me to the world of music, because now I wouldn't want to be without it. I love to sing it, I love to think about the words (if the song is that kind of song), I love to be INVOLVED in it. They say every book is an adventure; well, it's the same for songs. I have them for any mood I'm in. It's company. It's sympathy. It can be like a friend who is psyched for you when something good happens. There is so much great stuff out there (okay, not NOW, but there used to be!) that I don't get not being able to get into ANY of it.

Mm hmm There are more out there than I thought. Shocking. But I'm not shocked anyone wouldn't want to listen to the radio. Radio has ruined more songs for me than I can remember. Most music I like isn't mainstream for that very reason.

Do you want to find newer music that you get excited about?
If so, can you tell me something about the way you try to find new music? Maybe we can give you some tips there that would make your searches more successful.

What I find just as foreign to my inclinations is that there are even more people who never watch movies, even more than that who never read fiction (or other books for that matter), and even more than that who never look at visual art, go to museums or galleries, etc.
I love all that stuff as much as I love music.
