in my case i have a very strong internal echolalia, as in i get stuck with a phrase or a specific thought, song, word, ecc… which i find very annoying, though I dont know about external echolalia, I never noticed
I’ve got about 10 seconds of an incubus song I don’t even know the name of circling in my head since I woke up. I can’t remember the last time I actually heard it.
I call them my word/phrase/song of the day. Same as you, internal is strong AF, but unsure about external.
Bad enough that I cannot handle music with lyrics, with a few exceptions. Genres like post-rock are all I listen to.
instrumental music is so good. Bands like Chon (math rock/math metal) or casiopea (80s j-fusion) are among my favorites. If you like post-rock theres an italian band called massimo volume (means maximum volume) though they have lyrics so i don’t know if you’d like ir
Casiopea is amazing.
