I find the question weird. Of course I do. The only reason to hear a piece of music, or look at a painting or sculpture, just once is if you hate it - why should you not re-consume other forms of culture?
Whose idea is it that movies, TV & games should be considered single-use?
Answering that would be more useful, as it might provide clues as to why those of us with habits seen as perfectly normal in other contexts are considered nerds & outliers.
#culture
do you rewatch TV shows?
or reread books? rewatch movies, obsessively play the same video game?
there's a term for that:
"volitional reconsumption"
... and the psychology behind why we find it so pleasant is really interesting
