What is International Strange Music Day?
On August 24th, the International Strange Music Day encourages people to listen to a genre of music they don't normally listen to. It's also a day to discover new and strange styles of music.
In many ways, experiencing various forms of music benefits us. Listening to various styles of music helps to broaden horizons. In addition, it promotes seeing life from a different angle. "Listing without prejudice" is what some people refer to this activity.
According to various studies, various genres of music affect the mind and body in a variety of ways. For example, smooth jazz is known to relax the body. Pop music helps to boost endurance. Metal music lends a more personal sense of identity. Of all the styles of music, classical has the most positive effects. Classical music combats depression, sparks innovation, relieves pain, and boosts brain power. However, one report showed that hip hop enhanced the flavor of cheese.
Other forms of music exist in addition to various genres of music. There's music made by whistling, blowing into a kazoo, or banning pots and pans together. Some music is just downright bizarre, like clucking chickens and deep-sea creature sounds.
