mmmmmmmmeeeehhhhhh

Also I have been noticing that in the past few years movies have been eliciting more of an immediate emotional response from me than music. i.e. most movies choke me up but most music really does not. What does this mean?
 
movies are a superior medium for visceral emotionalism. in fifty years, telepatho-projections will be a superior medium to movies for visceral emotionalism. it shouldn't reflect poorly on your medium of choice.
 
IMO, unless you have a memory or image attached to a song it's very difficult to become emotionally attached. It's quite difficult to create these images using lyrical phrases. As for movies, they can create an image for you and trick you into thinking you have an emotional attachment to a particular scene.

I think it's less a question of emotional attachment than of the eliciting of an emotional response. And in my case, songs I've heard for the first time have on some occasions given rise to an increase in heart-beat, a rush in adrenaline or even tears. But that's just me.
 
i hate the feeling i get when an artist i think is incredibly innovative from one or two records goes and makes a stinker of an album (or several in a row) and i find them no longer intriguing and just plain dumb. the feeling of being duped into thinking said artist was more than they actually are is not unlike the empty feeling after eating something you thought would be scrumptious only to find that it tasted bland and makes you nauseous.
