| | Boredom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | One of the first recorded songs of punk band Buzzcocks was entitled "Boredom", and was released on the Spiral Scratch EP. | | | The Pop singer Iggy Pop had a minor hit with his song "I'm Bored" during which he would strip his clothes off while delivering a monotonous rendition of the lyric: "I'm bored, I'm the chairman of the bored". | | | Boredom stems from a lack of interesting things to see, hear, or do (physically or intellectually) when not in the mood of "doing anything." Often it is a clearly subjective state; one person may find a classical music concert "boring," for example, while another may find it riveting. |

| | The punk movement was a nice, juicy protest against boredom; Svendsen cites the extreme rocker G G Allin and the Buzzcocks, creators of the song "Boredom", with its famous one-note guitar solo. | | | Boredom, he seems to say, is just something we've got to live with. | | | I was fascinated to learn that boredom was invented in 1760; the word is not found in English prior to this, though related concepts such as melancholy and acedia did exist. |

| | Most of us fail to appreciate the necessity of boredom for the endeavor of reading and writing‑indeed the existence of the publishing industry/enterprise-all of which would be non-existent were not boredom so fundamentally a part of who we are and what we experience when left “alone in a room with nothing to do.” | | | Boredom, in this theory, explains everything: a new version of the doom assigned to humankind in the original fall from grace. | | | All “cultural advance” derives from the need to withstand boredom; literature is a single instance among many. |

| | Boredom - definition of Boredom in Encyclopedia |
| | Boredom, or ennui (a French word, from Old French enui) is a reactive state to wearingly dull, repetitive, or tedious stimuli: suffering from a lack of interesting things to see, hear, etc., or do (physically or intellectually), while not in the mood of "doing nothing". | | | Temporarily being in a situation of boredom may also be felt as a waste of time, but then it is usually considered worse than just that. | | | For example, studies in behavioral finance have shown that stock traders can enter into "overtrading", which is buying or selling even when there is no objective reason to do it, just because they feel bored when there is nothing worth doing. |
