Yeah, and i suspect they're drawing wrong conclusions from that data point.

As in; correlation does not always equal causation, i.e. listening to music for hours on end is more likely one possible symptom of depression, and not causing depression directly.

(but i dunno, maybe one broods over radiohead for longer than is healthy and develops a depressive mood 🤷)

Or Linkin Park. "isolation", "defeat" and "escape" are reappearing themes in their old songs.

But, yes, it's not something that is new, but, listening to music for long periods could be other things, like Autism. Someone who is Autistic can listen to a song on loop for weeks as a way to soothe or block out painful noise.
