Word for person who loves music

  • #1

Hello to all,

Is there a word or an idiom for a person who really loves music listens to various styles of it?

For example, a person who loves cinema is called a movie buff.

I am looking for a colorful and interesting sentence I can use instead of this:

My friend Joe really loves music.

This is for speaking. You may ask why «loves music» does not work for me.

I always would like to find creative and different ways of expressing ideas and feelings and situations.
I also love using idioms.

Also, is it correct to say this? :

Listening to music really peps me up.

  • #3

Also, is it correct to say this? :

Listening to music really peps me up.

Yes, you can say that. Also, in response to the other question, you could use music lover, but I guess you’re looking for something more creative.

I like the word melomaniac, but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.

I like the word melomaniac, but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.

Don’t use that. Nobody knows what it means.

  • #6

Don’t use that. Nobody knows what it means.

Is it unusual?

I like the word melomaniac, but I’m not sure if that’s what you’re looking for.

Don’t use that. Nobody knows what it means.

I had never seen it before Glizdka first posted it here.

  • #8

Neither had I, though it’s a real word. [link]

Collins says it’s British usage, but I’m British and I’ve been a music lover for seven decades and it’s a new one on me.

  • #9

So, is there no idiom that can be used here?

  • #10

For example, a person who loves cinema is called a movie buff.

I’m going to be pedantic and pretentious now.

Someone who consumes a lot of films may be called a film buff or movie buff. While I’m being pretentious, I’ll say that I don’t like the American word movie although it is very commonly used. For me, it has connotations of Hollywood. I suggest you use the more international word film.

Somebody who has a serious interest in and love of cinema as an art form may be called a cinephile.

As for someone who loves music, I think music lover is the best word. I’d never heard the word melomaniac.

  • #11

But there must be a creative and interesting way of saying a person loves music.

  • #12

What do you mean by ‘creative and interesting’?

By ‘creative’, do you mean ‘novel’? Are you asking for a way that nobody has ever used before? The thing about language is that you can be infinitely creative with it.

Whether something is interesting is really subjective. I don’t think you actually mean that here.

But there must be a creative and interesting way of saying a person loves music.

Why must there be one? Do you think we have a list of «creative and interesting ways of saying» everything? Of course we don’t.

I’d never heard of melomaniac until this thread either. In fact, if someone said it to me, I would probably think I’d misheard/they’d mispronounced «megalomaniac»! My only suggestion uses a word that’s already been mentioned — music buff. My friend’s boyfriend is frequently described as such because he knows a lot about all sorts of music and he’s really useful at a pub quiz!

We use a loanword from Spanish—aficionado.

Perhaps you could look it up and find some examples of use to see how closely it fits what you want to say.

I’d stick with music lover — it’s simple and unpretentious. Using a word ending in -phile is fine when it’s in common usage, like bibliophile, but musicophile just feels a little affected.
