Why Are Goosebumps From Music Declining? 

#goosebumps #popmusic #frissons
Have you ever felt chills or goosebumps when listening to a song? This powerful emotional reaction, known as frisson, is becoming increasingly rare in modern music. In this video, we explore why.
We dive into the science behind frissons, how music connects to our emotions, and why many people today are feeling a lack of emotional connection with modern songs. From the rise of shorter, more commercialized tracks to the repetitive trends dictated by record companies and algorithms, today’s music is becoming homogenized-leaving little room for surprises or novelty. As a result, frissons, which thrive on emotional depth and musical unpredictability, are on the decline.
We’ll also examine how the industry's focus on creating quick hits mirrors the fast fashion industry and why more people are turning to older music to find the emotional connection they crave. Whether it’s key changes or unexpected musical variations, we’ll break down how past trends generated goosebumps and why today’s music often falls short.
Tune in as we discuss what makes a song truly emotionally impactful and why we’re searching for the next big trend that could reignite those unforgettable musical goosebumps.
