(51,611 posts)I would like to see a study of what music you do NOT like does to you. I bet elevator music and types that you can't stand must have some negative effect too. Does it increase your blood pressure? I can't even stand to hear some types on TV commercials...I have to hit "mute" or suffer a stroke.
