A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

As someone who has written songs... We get them, and I don't think it's particularly ironic

Pretty sure they do.

I once saw Daryl Hall subconsciously singing along to his own song as it played in the store where he was shopping.

Your title has caused Alanis Morisettes Ironic to get stuck in my head 🙁

Well, that's ironic. Don't you think? A little too ironic.

The ear worm is what makes me continue writing and recording the song, I want to hear how it turns out.

I think I heard somewhere that that was ABBA's sign that a song was good enough. They didn't write them down, so they had to be catchy enough to remember

Seems like it would be exactly what you'd expect, i.e. not ironic at all.

Oh it totally happens. I think part of what makes a performer is whether you find that embarrassing (like me) or if that makes you want to sing them for others.

I'm not a musician, but I like coming up with my own silly little songs. Every once in s while I come up with something less silly that I actually like and it goes through my head for a little while.

I hope my cats likes my singing, because I would never show anyone else. I've got my creative outlet already. I don't need a new form of imposter syndrome

This has happened to me, as a person who writes music and has recorded multiple albums.

It also happened to my bandmates when we had a song we were really focusing on they would tell me how they had been dreaming about the song and having it play in their dreams.

However, I am very susceptible to earworms and it's rare for there to not be music playing in my head.
