It's probably because you have no soul.

In all seriousness, if music can't inspire an emotional response in you, you might legitimately have a medical or psychological disorder. There's a reason music is sometimes called the universal language. If I were you, I would tell my doctor about this ASAP.
As harsh as this sounds (as the truth often is), I'm inclined to agree with you, because I thought exactly the same thing when the OP made a very similar thread about books.

OP, judging by the fact that you don't see the appeal of music and you can't get past the first page of a book, I think that your brain may be wired differently, like perhaps you just don't experience imagination or pleasure and reward in the same way as most people.

It's not necessarily a bad thing per say (that is if you're fine with it), but I would be absolutely distraught if I woke up one day and couldn't enjoy music or read books, so perhaps you should consider seeing a doctor, because not being able to read books and not seeing the point of any and all music could be symptoms of an underlying medical or psychological condition, such as Anhedonia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anhedonia], which could be something that might hold you back later in life or suddenly torpedo potential prospects if it was suddenly discovered on a test.


i just found a story regarding a study conducted at the university of barcelona which kind of touches on this subject.

?We identified a group of healthy individuals without depression or generalized anhedonia who showed reduced behavioral pleasure ratings and no autonomic responses to pleasurable music, despite having normal musical perception capacities,? he wrote in the study. ?These persons showed preserved behavioral and physiological responses to monetary reward, indicating that the low sensitivity to music was not due to a global hypo function of the reward network.?
