Music you like will usually increase your heart rate. Rap, pop and metal
music will usually speed up your heart rate. Rock doesn’t really do much to your
heart rate. Classical music will calm you down and can help relieve stress. Classical
is the most calming to your brain and heart because it slows down your heart rate
and will calm your brain down. Metal music can get you in an aggressive mood and
it’s the same with some genres of rap. Pop music can raise your heartrate.
This article is important to my project because the different genres of music
that I will use in the trials for my experiment are very different. I needed to know
more on the different genres of music and how they effect your mood, heart rate and
your brain activity.
