A Greene King-commissioned survey has found that people are spending more time listening to music alone, with many missing the shared experiences of the past<\/h2>\n

The average music fan will do two thirds of their listening alone \u2013 a total of 379 hours. A poll of 2,000 adults who regularly listen to music found the experience has become something they increasingly do alone, with 11% admitting they never listen to music with other people.<\/p>\n

Most people listen to songs through their headphones or while in the car rather than as part of a shared experience \u2013 in fact, only 8% of all music listening happens at live events.<\/p>\n

The over-35s reckon music was a considerably more communal affair during the 1990s. Many yearn for the era before streaming services and algorithms, with 30% saying that discovering fresh music was more satisfying back then than it is nowadays.<\/p>\n

The study found that, during that period, 33% listened to music with others far more frequently, and 24% recall crafting and exchanging mixtapes with mates.<\/p>\n
