The Inescapable Connection Between Music and Emotion

Answering this prompt is difficult. It’s like answering, which of your body part is more important to you.

Music is like breathing…whatever the atmosphere, the flavor, aroma, we can’t leave breathing, we take it involuntarily.

So, any specific genre is difficult.

It depends on the mood we are carrying. Indian music is full of all the moods.

Sad, happy, cheerful, love, break-up and you name it and we have a song for it.

I think that may be the case for any language or region.

But I will answer the prompt in a ranking for my liking –

Old songs [60s, 70s]

Sad, tragic music

Classical (though I don’t understand technicalities of it)

then others follow.
