When you hear a piece of music not as a full-song but as a snippet being used in other mediums, such as for a meme, advertisement, movie scene, TikTok, etc.
"I just realized I know this song, even though I never directly listened to it or knew its name."
"Yes. That's called second-hand listening."

Get the listenablemug. When someone should be listening to what you are saying but they are mentally too busy thinking of what they want to say or are interrupting you to get their point across or jump ahead of you telling the story because they can't wait for you to finish. This causes them to ask a question about the thing you are talking about before you are able to get it out or ask about something you said but they missed because they aren't really listening. As opposed to an active listener who is genuinely interested in hearing what you are trying to tell them regarding an incident or a story or information.
You: So I told her don't be all up in my business because. ..
Them: So she left or stayed or what?
You: I'm trying to tell you what happened. Don't be such a passive listener.

Get the Listen to Hymmug. Is going to get your fucking kids killed. I know you pieces of shit coming into the gas station are reading it (because you repeat it back to me). Got within arms reach of 2 the other day. The knife that is always in my pocket isn't going to stay there forver. Whatever they are trying to do, I'm never going to do it. You can't make me stop being a threat to yoù kids but you can make them acknowledge what's happening to me.
Hym "Whoever you're listening to WILL NEVER CARE about your kid being murdered over their unwillingness to address me. They won't care. They'll muse on it in there news stories about how tragic it is but YOU'LL BE ALONE IN YOU GRIEF AND THEY WILL DIE FOR NOTHING. I'm not ever going to give up. Would you rather have your kids see some maladaptive success or would you rather try and pry me off of them as I dig the knife into their neck? I didn't even expect the material success. At first it was only stalking I cared about. But I'll take both. You'll do both now."
