I am also curious as to this "jaded" self-awareness. Can one actually be "jaded" and not have it be a function of the music?

Yes.

So . . . how does it happen? I don't believe you explained it.

I don't need to. Here, lemme ask my laptop computer what 'jaded' means:

"tired, bored, or lacking enthusiasm, typically after having had too much of something"

See that 'too much' in there, the entire point of the definition, the whole problem, the thing people joke about to relieve anxiety about it being their problem? It's not a quality of the music. It's not complicated and it's not worth arguing about anymore today.

Clearly, you needed to.

And what is a "jaded" person "bored or lacking enthusiasm" for? Music. Something about the music is not connecting with this person as it was before. It is a function of the music that at one time did not make them "tired."
