Why does listening to some music give us more satisfaction than other music?

Question

I heard that music gives you satisfaction because your brain creates a feedback loop of predicting what music will come in a second, and then rewarding itself if it was right. But in that case, why does some music give us more satisfaction than other music?

Answer 1

I think it’s how you relate to the music. For an example I can’t relate to most of Cardi B music because most of my past is not described in the music, but if you play Till I Collapse or I’m Not Afraid by Eminem, I’ll will totally relate because in my life, I’ve had to try my best to not give up and make a change.
