Could the music you listen to really reveal your true personality? It seems these days everyone is being affected by their choice of music, whether they like it or not. We live in a world where sites like Spotify, Pandora, and Iheart personify who we are as people. No matter what the circumstance, music helps define who we are as human beings. Music brings out personal feelings and emotions, and mixes them together to create a soul. Recent studies show that music, believe it or not, affects the brain by creating a little “happy chemical” called dopamine which gives us pleasure. This explains why music is such a huge part of what makes human society. “By following these tunes and anticipating what’s going to come next is what gives people that amazing pleasure” said Valerie Salimpoor, a neurologist in at McGill University in Montreal.
