Why Do People Like the Same Music?

Imagine you're at a party, and everyone starts singing the same song. It feels like magic, but it's really about shared experiences. When we hear familiar music, our brains light up because we remember the feelings attached to that song. If your best friend loves the same songs as you, it makes your bond stronger.
