Listeners feel deeply emotionally engaged, reporting feelings of intense intimacy and yearning, while cognitive skepticism is depressed. Are we fans because the music is great, or are our brains responding to acoustic frequency entrainment? -- Joachim Lindqvist *PLONK* filter active for trolls.

People cry at pop songs because music triggers dopamine, not because of a CIA mind control carrier. Unsubscribe me from this list!
