This article came on the heels of a case study conducted in New Zealand. A team of researchers wanted to examine the effects of certain types of music on fans congregated at a rugby game. As it turns out, music with positive lyrics and a quicker backbeat led to the most positive reactions while slower songs with either indifferent or negative lyrics led to a crowd that “sat on its hands.” This article will help me explore why certain songs work and also shows me that I’m not the only one thinking about these things!
