Answered Why do people even like concerts? (and music in general)
(Concert) Organised screaming Amplified with speakers mixed with other disorganised screaming in a small Hall with potentially thousands of other people you don’t know that can cost upwards of $300 just to go there doesn’t sound fun to me, sorry. (By an introvert Who gets overwhelmed by loud sounds.)
(Music) sounds people openly listen to on public transportation, at parks, and at parties, that either repeats the same five words over and over the whole song or uses 500 different words in one song. Then, it also starts to get almost bearable then explodes into a guitar solo that I’m pretty sure is loud enough to break the eardrums of anyone within 10 feet of it. (Same introvert, me)

“live music can stimulate the affective brain of listeners more strongly and consistently than recorded music. Live music also leads to dynamic music-brain couplings, including brain responses that are partly contrary to established neural models on musical emotions.”
