Music triggers feelings

The subjective experience of music can be mapped within at least 13 overarching feelings: amusement, joy, eroticism, beauty, relaxation, sadness, dreaminess, triumph, anxiety, scariness, annoyance, defiance, and feeling pumped up.

Research findings on music can have potential applications:

1. informing psychological and psychiatric therapies to produce certain feelings.
2. helping music streaming services adjust their algorithms to satisfy their customers' audio needs.
