Music & Emotion
I conducted a survey on how certain genres effect people's emotions. The resultst I received proved and justified that music does effect people's emotions and that emotions play a large role on how certain genres are percieved.
Most people associate Soul/R&B with the emotions of happiness and tranquility. This is most likely due to the slow beat and tempo. The instruments also play a role because they give off a relaxing mood.
Most people associate Alternative/Indie with happiness and tranquility, but some find it irritating and disdain. The tempo of this genre is usually slow, which can result in a calm relaxing feeling. Some may find it irritating because of the fact that it is too slow.
