Do you listen to music while you work out? Take a shower? Or when you study? Music is often played and listened to by our ears so often that we take it for granted and fail to notice how it moves and influences us. In many societies music is integrated in all aspects of our lives and daily activities. Whether you notice or not, music plays an important role in our lives and serves many different functions in our society and in the societies of others. From an artist’s perspective the music he or she creates can be an emotional outlet and for listeners music can be a source of entertainment.
One function of music we tend to oversee and not recognize is the function of music associated with retail. Before we begin to exercise or are getting ready for the day, most of us play up beat music to get ourselves in the mood to move around. Multiple studies have shown that music has those same effects on us while we shop, eat and on our time spent doing these things. This video shows peoples personal opinions on how music can affect their shopping experience:
