Hello! I was wondering if anyone else here had synesthesia related to music. If you do what kind? (taste, feel, smell, ect.) I can smell different things when I hear a different song so now I'm curious. If it's not related to music then is it letters, numbers, ect?

for me its color and taste some songs, like my favorite genres, taste like seaweed or oysters, stuff like that, and it sucks but I try to combat it by eating something else but usually it leads to a panic attack or sensory overload

ye! i see different colors in my head depending on the key a song or note is in. e.g the C note is green, the D note is orange, the E note is blue, etc. and most songs in the key of one of those notes will be at least partially in its respective color. when i was a toddler i'd see giant notes in whatever color when i closed my eyes, but nowadays it's more in the back of my head

@SomeRandomPekoKin: it'd probably depend on what kind of synesthesia you have. with sound-to-color the most annoying thing i face is when a song is named after one color but is actually another color xD (i.e i'm blue is fucking GREEN AND VIOLETTTT)
on the other hand, lexical-gustatory synesthesia sounds like it could be a nightmare
