NPR posted an article about music, specifically Adele, and how we as listeners crave a perfect mixture unfamiliarity and familiarity. The perfect mix is called the Goldilocks zone. While reading the article, I couldn't help but be reminded of Freud's argument about the uncanny. Freud hypothesized that people were searching for new and original ideas in every aspect of life, but also craving the comfort of familiar and known ideas.
I've provided the link below if you'd like to read the article. Also read the comments, which are almost as interesting as the original article!
