Why do humans like music?

I think it’s safe to say that all humans who can hear, enjoys music. Not everybody likes the same genre, but what is it about music in general that makes humans so drawn to it?

Out of thousands of people I’ve asked over the years, I’ve met like 3 people that don’t listen to music. Super creepy people. They’re dead inside. They have doll’s eyes. There’s nothing going on behind them.

Music is math. Math is existence. Music is existence. We’re hard-coded for music. The top answer is probably to respond to it as an emotional release or way to observe an idea or concept from a new/unique perspective you wouldn’t ascertain on your own.

Also, music is…..so many different things. Heart. Soul. Love. Joy. Sadness. Hatred. Empathy. Melancholy. It’s a release, and a guiding light to how your mind is operating subconsciously. If you hear a depressing song and it makes you sad…you’re probably sad, dude. If you hear a depressing song and you smile or aren’t super into it, you’re probably not depressed. Music is a compass for the soul.

I don’t wanna really go further than that, but yeah, it really bothers me when someone says something to the effect of “I don’t really listen to music.” I’m already at 200 songs today, not counting repeats. Not to gloat about how many songs I’ve listened to lol, but they serve a very necessary purpose. But so do psychopaths in war. It is what it is.
