My Critical Distance Always Changes

My critical distance alters numerous times depending on what I’m looking at. In particular, my hip-hop critical distance sways dramatically depending on which artist I’m listening to. For instance, artists I’m not an avid fan of (I.E. Drake, 21 Savage, Kyle, Jeezy, Kodak Black, etc.), my critical distance is usually more distal (unless the beat is too catchy, than I’m proximal). I think my mindset is like this because I’m not too attached to these artists, which let’s me view their music more objectively than closely subjectively. On the contrary, when I hear new songs from artists I love (I.E. Big Sean, Travi$ Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, etc.) I’m noticeably much more proximal. I most likely have this mindset because I’m overly attached to these artists and eagerly anticipate any move they make, whether that be music, clothing or anything else (like an interview or social media post). My proximal mindset will most likely continue with these artists’ new songs until I listen to said song about 10 ten times, which is when the initial “awe” of the song is typically subdued. From here, I can finally look at said new song with a much more clear mindset, focusing on it more objectively overall. I’ve noticed that this initial distal blocking results from my over attachment to these artists. Over attachment leads emotional blinding, which is something every passionate fan goes through.
