This is from the Deep Space Nine episode "Bar Association," where Rom (the alien in the image) forms a union with his fellow workers to collectively bargain for better pay and working conditions from his brother, who owns the bar.
In this image, he's telling his brother that, "We are going on strike!"
This episode also features one of my favorite observations about

Just even the thought of comparing music to video games or TV or movies is preposterous. Music has been around since the dawn of humanity. It's a natural human instinct to find rhythm and melody in nature and in life. It is still sold as a commodity but you dont need to own a single thing in order to enjoy music. You can whistle and sing and clap and bang on surfaces and you've got music.....
God...this is just the worst take I've ever read.

It's kind of amazing how the OP manages to fit not one, but two, of the worst takes on media I've ever seen in one post.
I mean, everybody is obviously calling out the ridiculous statement from the title, but man, imagine thinking that in movies more often than not the first two acts are boring. Like, goddamn.

This is something I had not even begun to think about. Thank you. I wonder how many other things are like this in our society.
Or..... that there's literally tons of research detailing the beneficial nature to repeated musical exposure, exhaustively exploring the effects that come with it. The only negatives of music therapy is that it could provide over-stimulation to a recipient of brain damage or trigger association with a traumatic event. These are incredibly specific case scenarios. The effects are overwhelmingly positive.
Like, this is the only time Era's contrarian inclination on mundane subjects has made me legit upset.
Can you or the OP articulate why and how music is damaging aside from the fact that you can listen to it instantly?
Might honestly be in the top 3 worst opinions I've ever read on the internet.

*Tapes it back up and adds it to my own to make it more powerful*
Nice. My first album with my own cash was For Those About to Rock⚡
Told my parents it was acid rock. They asked what I meant by that. I said, "because it burns."
I don't have a battle-station so I can't really add anything. I like music and I like video games and I like movies if that means anything? Also, my PC goes through my TV - so I can literally do all 3 things right now all with a click of a mouse button. Individually though because as I said I don't have a battle-station.
From the article that you quoted, OP:
"Pleasure is central to our survival...Some of our most important rituals—such as praying, listening to music, dancing, and meditating—produce a kind of transcendent pleasure that's become part of our culture. In this way, feeling good in the immediate term isn't such a bad thing. It's provided us with an opportunity to survive and experience some relief from our stress.
But what happens when you want to be instantly satisfied in all areas of your life? What happens when you only avoid pain? What results from needing to have the newest and most expensive car, even though you're in horrible credit card debt?"
In other words, listening to music is fine - it's so fine, in fact, that it's part of the key pleasures of being human - but you shouldn't buy an expensive car you can't afford, that's bad. The article (which, as an aside, I feel is poorly written and has a lot of really bad jumps to conclusion) doesn't claim that music is the gateway drug to poor money management or bad life choices.
i agree, i have 14299 mp3s on my phone right now and its not even 25% of my collection of music. i need an intervention.
it's a terrible perversion, a malady that consumes one's soul, leaving nothing behind but a husk of a man ringing with tinnitus...
edit: oh god i am downloading more right now please god make it stop oh no not a solo album from Neurosis guitarist Steve Von Till noooooo

You just lowkey ruined my whole night. It's already wormed inside me.
Let's post the music we're listening to right now. I'm listened to a new album by Seventeen Years Old and Berlin Wall, a Japanese shoegaze band.
Dude, get the hell out of my Liked Videos on YouTube.Sorry, OP, I'll keep jammin.
No downsides, instant hedonistic satisfaction, easy access?
We're only on this earth once, why overthink something that gives you so much joy.
"The Benefits of Delaying Gratification" is some People magazine basement level article shit.
lol
