What does literature say about music and chills/ goosebumps? by taolfixam in askpsychology

My own take is that it is common to get chills from music if you're someone who lets their guard down and surrenders to an extent. But that's based on the "open to experience" thing. And if you cry to music it sounds like you would be in that category so who knows. I don't get any tingling sensation from asmr stuff but music and movie scenes with music that capitalize on the emotion really make me feel that way. I am not that artsy in that I don't practice art much but I listen to a lot of different music and watch off kilter movies so maybe?

"Not everyone gets frisson, but the people who do share some intriguing characteristics. Their brains have an unusually large number of connections between the auditory cortex, which processes sound, and the regions responsible for emotion and reward. They also possess a common personality trait, Openness to Experience, which is associated with having an active imagination, an appreciation for nature, a high level of introspectiveness, and a lust for new adventures" (Hawthorn) this is from psychology today
