How dope is you fav's music and is your emotional response to the music you like contaminated by associations and memories?

[sasha]

So it's been known that listening to music affects your dopamine levels. The whole other bunch of interesting stuff been known too
 

 

... findings suggest that music may resemble biologically rewarding stimuli in its ability to engage similar neural circuitry. Indeed, the pattern of brain activity associated with intensely pleasurable music is similar in many respects to that seen with other relevant stimuli, such as consumption of chocolate (Small et al. 2001) and even administration of cocaine (Breiter et al. 1997).
 
...This interaction may suggest that the euphoric feeling associated with pleasant music is mediated via gating of behaviorally antagonistic approach/withdrawal mechanisms, given the important role for the amygdala in negative emotional experience, and other aversive emotions. Thus the pleasure of music may be due both to positive engagement of brain areas related to reward and inhibition of areas mediating negative affective states.

...One of the interesting features of music is that it generates expectancies based both on veridical knowledge of a piece of music (i.e., when one has heard the piece before) and implicit knowledge of the rules of the musical system that one has learned (Huron 2006; Meyer 1956). The latter may be likened to knowledge of syntax in language. The fact that psychophysiological changes are elicited by chord sequences that are not in themselves specifically emotion-inducing (e.g., dissonant) (Koelsch 2008), and also by unfamiliar music heard for the first time, suggests that physiological responses are generated in part by abstract knowledge of how musical antecedents lead to conclusions. These data provide an initial clue of the importance of expectancies in how we respond to music.

...The idea that prediction confirmation is rewarding is well supported(...)Sections and phrases of music often have clear beginnings, middles, and ends, with the beginning and middle sections often providing clear clues as to how the section or phrase will end. Thus, music provides a series of micro- (note to note and phrase to phrase) and macro- (section to section) level outcomes. 

 

...Once one is familiar with a particular musical tradition, it is possible to make reasonable predictions about multiple features of music, even if one has never heard the specific piece of music before. One need not be consciously aware of these predictions. Rather, there are statistical (actuarial) features within music traditions that direct the expectations of a listener without the listener necessarily being aware of these statistical properties and lead to implicit knowledge of musical rules, or “syntax.â€

Only Kana-Boon's songs give me chills. 

(And Michael Jackson in the past)

This particular song always gives me chills. His music is like something that when it's played, people forget about life hardships and don't hear anything else but his song. It's beautiful and catchy.

 

[pinkpanda_spirit]

I always get chills when I listen to BTS and INFINITE's music, especially their old songs, and I'm sure it's due to memories.

[Kami the II.]

This song never fails to give me teary eyes. Especially the fact that Kim Woo Bin was diagnosed with cancer just a few months after UF ended ( the character he played there was also dealing with cancer & ended up passing away)...

 

 

Ballads/sad songs from my favorite disbanded groups make me cry too:

 

 

And I can't help but dance whenever a Hyuna song plays. Hearing her songs give me energy & strenght:

 

[Sully]

Most music doesn't do anything for me physically. No chills, no crying. I like the song, but that's as far as it goes for me. The only song that has ever actually given me physical chills and made a strong feeling run through my body was this song:

 

And this is the only song that has ever actually made me tear up

 

And sometimes the high notes Christina Aguilera hits give me chills.

[Muddy]
