If you knew civilization as we know it were going to collapse within ten years, how would it change your listening habits?

Assume this collapse is related to energy, and that it wouldn't be feasible to listen to any recorded music after that point in time.

My thought is that I would try to get to any large area of music that I've been wanting to get to, and also that I'd try to go for the most intense possible experiences, which for some reason is making me think: the most challenging music, but I'm not sure how the one necessarily implies the other. (Surely some of my most intense experiences of music have been with some fairly simple stuff, and some fairly in-between stuff.)

Of course, I'd probably dance more (again assuming the response to the bad news was going to be music-related, rather than possibly more sensible) and most likely stick to Latin music for that as I have been doing.

perhaps it would finally inspire me to learn how to fucking play an instrument

I would listen to even more electronic music, since I'll still be able to hear/make almost all of the other kind of music I like afterwards.

Time listening to music -> time shooting off guns

I'd start listening to boring folk music & force myself to like it and pretend that good music never existed.
