People say that after stopping to listen to nonjewish music for a while, they feel a difference inside of themselves- like they’re more pure.
My opinion on the matter used to be that nonjewish music is awful and should be avoided at all costs, but lately I’ve pretty much only been listening to nonjewish music, and I don’t feel any further from Hashem as a result of it. I feel like as frum people, we are restricted in so many areas, and I’m not going to restrict myself unnecessarily in an area that is so hard for me. To do so would be to set myself up to be burnt out from frum life.
That being said, I am in the process of researching what makes some people think that nonjewish music is bad for the neshama.
