Musical Expectation Bias


Musical Expectation Bias

Is it likely that such biases also extend not to just geographically separated cultures but also to "cultures" specifically dedicated to different musical stylistic categories. ie rock, classical, jazz etc?

And how might these biases color our discussions of things like "tube holography" and similar subjects?

This is getting into "This is Your Brain on Music" territory. A very well written book, but I lost the enthusiasm (the point) about halfway through.

Maybe I'm missing the point, but personally, I'm happy that I have an open mind, and I am not pigeon-holed into one or two genres. 

Again, maybe this is off-topic, but one of our favorite albums is the Buena Vista Social Club. We don't speak any Spanish. Conversely, we had a house guest that clearly did not like the record because she could not understand the words.
