If You Get the Chills from Music, You May Have a Unique Brain

Unique in that two-thirds of the population experiences it.

There's even a subreddit (of course there is): https://www.reddit.com/r/Frisson/

I get chills when I listen to some music - I thought that was universal, or at least commonplace. Just how unique is getting chills supposed to be that it might be a marker for a "unique" brain?

I did get chills when listening to specific songs when I was in my 20s. Now 37 I havent really had it happen to me since.

Funnily enough, it was a song from the swedish band Kent. Which some say is inspired from radiohead. And a radiohead song was used as an example in the article.

I actually listened to the Radiohead song, and immediately felt it was a bit familiar to the kind of music that used to give me the chills.

The first song I recall experiencing this effect from is Pat Metheny Group's song "San Lorenzo". And it still happens most times I hear it.

I have never experienced 'chills' when listening to music.

One could argue that everyone has a unique brain due to their subjective experience.

I get a rush listening to Rush

I get chills when listening to Tupac.
