Angry music is never appealing to me. When I am mad listening to something angry just amplifies it and makes it worse. That said when I am angry I do not want to listen to something calm, I will prefer something more intense.
If I listen to calm music when I'm angry, it doesn't make me feel better -- it forces me to bottle up the anger. Which makes things worse in the long run.Same here.
When I am angry or stressed, I do prefer slow, calm music. At the end of a stressful day, nothing soothes my frayed nerves as well as one of Mozart's piano sonatas. And maybe a cup of tea. And valium. (Kidding about that last part.)
One word: Catharsis.
If you really immerse yourself in angry music, the kind that expresses the exact kind of anger you've bottled up (or that you're currently feeling), the release is incredible.

Sometimes it's good for a laugh.I can understand that. And I understand how it can have a driving, stimulating effect. But calming? Every bit of research I've read, combined with my own experience, seems to indicate that the louder and faster the music is, the more of a taxing effect it has on the brain. It produces an adrenaline rush, and puts the nervous system in a state of excitement. That's why people get whipped into a frenzy at rock concerts, whereas that's much less likely to happen at a performance of chamber music.
It's essentially because of what they feel at that time. I have noticed when I am hyped up, either in excitement or sexual or anger/irritation I am most likely to enjoy rap music at that time, and I don't like it if I am sad or tired or just peaceful/content. I honestly wonder if men like rap more because of testosterone (like how they're more likely to be vulnerable after sex because of a drop in testosterone).
I feel the same way about rap.
Not sure what you mean about testosterone drop in relation to it tho.
Testosterone makes people more competitive and aggressive. Supposedly after sex men are more vulnerable because the drop in testosterone allows oxytocin bonding (therefore the stereotypes of women being more sentimental or romantic). I have long thought SP women may have higher testosterone making them more competitive in sports, business, arguments, fights, sex, etc.
In a completely unrelated note I decided today that "style" is the SP way of making reality more tolerable. Is it possible no type really has a better handle on reality? Se types use style to make reality more tolerable, to make the disturbing more bearable, the hyper real is actually a blend of Se/Ni, making the real too real to be real.
It helps them get the anger out.
Some people have trouble processing things like anger, and so an outlet that is not "threatening" or "shameful", such as entertainment, can help them surface the emotion and the dispel it.
They will feel calmer as a result, of course.
It's a similar effect to when someone validates you emotionally and empathizes with you. It can not only clarify a feeling (instead of a cloudy bad feeling, it is clearly "anger" now), but also help it subside so you can be more clear-headed again (the emotion releases, and now the trigger can be dealt with calmly).
i can hear music coming out of my printer. i think the paper's jammin' again.
