Why Do People Prefer Certain Music Genres?

Music genres are like favorite snacks, some people just love them more than others. Some people like the loud, bouncy sounds of rock because it makes them feel excited and strong, while others might prefer the soft, catchy tunes of pop that make them happy and calm. Your brain also helps you remember songs from when you were little, which can make you like those genres more.
