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 had “dragon cum” stuck in my head for years (I think I picked it up from bad dragon) and now “gay homosexual women” has been stuck in my head for a few months now.
yeah things like that get stuck with me sometimes, i can totally relate
Snippets of songs. They go round and around in my head.
Same. I often wake up with random songs going through my head in the middle of the night. Sometimes it’s not the same one that was looping when I went to sleep.
Constant loop. Usually a song I like and then it gets ruined by the repetition. Thanks brain.

Yep. I’ve learned that this happening is a good indicator that I’m not doing well mentally and there’s a thing I’m avoiding confronting.
Then I have to play brain detective until I figure out what it is.
If I’m not listening to music or hyperfocusing really hard there’s a constant looping snippet of some random song playing almost all the time, usually just a few seconds long. Changing it requires to listen to something else. I don’t really mind it (as long as the song doesn’t suck!), seems like my brain just needs a constant rhythm throughout the day. I always thought that it’s normal for everyone until I learned about neuro divergence a year ago.
I call them my word/phrase/song of the day. Same as you, internal is strong AF, but unsure about external.
It used to be awful, I’d end up repeating the last thing I said in my head over and over 'til there was something else I needed to process verbally.
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.
