eli5: Why our mind keep repeating certain line or tune of a song we heard or repeat certain dialogue we heard? And how can i stop?
In: Biology
When I am waking the dog, there is always some song in my head that matches the 4/4 pace of my stride. When I am waiting for “buffering” or something like it to end, there is some annoying, simple, repetitive melody playing. If I am driving and am annoyed, some sort of raucous rock song pounds in my brain.
The people who have replied here are either frustrated psychology majors or just nice people trying to be helpful. Minds like ours are forever cursed to fill our virtual ears with brain noise that is usually distracting and always unhelpful. It won’t stop. Ever.
