Why do we enjoy music more once we have heard it a few times?

That's actually a good question. I don't know how many times my first impression of a song left me not very impressed but after hearing a couple more times decided it was a hit on my own personal charts. Interesting. Makes me wonder if some music producers have the same reaction when they first hear a song. Should they actually listen to a demo a few times before making a final judgement? I don't know maybe others have an explanation. I don't know some songs you know right away if it's good or bad.

Allow me to expand:

* Some music we enjoy more ifwe have heard it some times.

Reasons: We have to learn the style, the composition, we like to have things repeated to us, we connect positive experience with that music.

* Some music is ahrdly bearable when heard more than a few times.

Reasons: It is boring, it is aggresive, we connect negative experience with that music...

Edit: Cahs beat me with some reasons 😉

I was mainly thinking of opera but I suppose the principal is the same for any type of music.

Why does sex get better the more you have it with a person?

It doesn't work with opera at all. I can't even get through it the first time.

If you can't get through it the first time you may like it third time round?

No, for me I listen to a song and I like or or not. Maybe on a different day I'd like a song I didn't care for previously. Moods and music go hand in hand IMHO.

Thank you Grumpy Bobby, I get the feeling you are not grumpy at all. I will post something again when an interesting subject comes up.
