We surveyed three fan groups (violent extreme metal; violent rap; classical music) to investigate how fans use music in their lives, their emotional responses to music and whether harmonious/obsessive passion predict positive/negative psychosocial outcomes https://bit.ly/3mj3ZGz
Key Findings:
1. Empowerment & joy the top two emotions reported by all fan groups
2. Fans use violent music to induce a balance of mixed emotions
3. Harmonious passion for violent music predicts positive emotional outcomes; obsessive passion predicts negative emotional outcomes
