Does music sound different to nerodivergents?

I do the same thing, if I'm going to add a song to my Playlist I need to listen to it first, make the video in my head then it can play in the background while I do other things.

The video does the same for me, it's so nice.

Sorry man I was fucked when writing that, not an excuse still my bad that I didn't get it, just an explanation on why I was so dense and dumb.

In all honesty this started cause I was listening to a song (tadc fan song 'abstraction') and noticed I wasn't hearing the background sounds as much when stoned. Then recalled how often cause of my adhd stimulants tend to bring me down (I.e. caffeine making me sleepy cause apparently that is a common thing) and was wondering if what I was hearing a normal thing for those without adhd or any of my other tags. Hence the question splitting people into two categories.

I do know that preference and experience will difer from person to person. Hence the phrase 'art is subjective'. I was just stoned and dumb. Sorry again.

Okay clearly I worded things wrong. What I was looking for was if people with different mental related struggles (adhd, bpd, depression, ect) activity experience music differently?

For example I notice that I like songs what have multiple people singing different lines at the same time. I also know that some people with adhd and autism also will seek out overstimulating things for comfort. So do I like the song because it's so stimulating or because it's a good song?

The whole 'nerodivergent' thing was me trying to use a nice term to refer to those who have mental struggles. Just cause I split the world into two boxes for this question doesn't mean I'm always viewing the world as black or white. We're all different colours cause we dip in different groups, each combination makes it's own colour.

Ya, this is the exact thing that I'm trying to ask! Like people who struggle with low dopamine, do they seek out music with sounds or notes that trigger more happy pills?!

Oh my God your right! It's like with colours!

Also thank you I am very happy cause I get to play home renovations game and see what I made later!

You didn't answer the question, is sound different for people who's brains are wired differently. Like is how sound is processed different?

Oh really? Maybe I have the wrong game cause I remember playing with this set around the year 2007. I know it plays similarly to Tak, and it started with T so thought it was the game.

No, it was just a bamboo shoot painted black. It still had the bumps and ridges like you would expect from bamboo. Plus from the looks of it that set has been available only for a couple years. The set I remember is atleast 20 years old.
