How matching, clashing, and nonsense lyrics affect emotional perception across genres.
Results suggest sad songs + sad words = strongest feels. #ICMPC2025

Some fascinating findings form @jayteetang.bsky.social regarding the role of the self-construal (a proxy for individualist and collectivist cultures) in the experience of musical reward. Interesting question: to what degree are rewarding experiences with music Westerly constructed?
