Sad music can make us feel less alone, more validated and, well, anything but sad. Here's what's going on when you crank those melancholy tunes.
"We actually are not these simple, linear creatures that just say, 'I enjoy this music [and] it is sad, what a paradox'.Rather, Professor Schubert argues that "different classes of experience that can occur in parallel".
Professor Schubert points to the work of music psychology professor Patrik Juslin, considered by many to be the world's number one music researcher.According to Professor Juslin, there are seven ways music makes us feel something, explains Professor Schubert. Professor Schubert says Schopenhauer and other great philosophers argued all arts forms other than music "represent something about the human world" and "remind us of these real-life situations".
