Country music can contribute to better mental health | Music City Minute

Nov 4, 2024, 5:05 PM

Gabriel Iglesias has said that folks, “Don’t find country music, country music finds you. Country music knows when you’re sad, weak and vulnerable and need something to fill the void.” I think a lot of us can agree that country music makes us feel better. And that’s not just opinion, it is a measured fact. A study done by Tebra looked into the types of music for positive mental health. According to the results, people who listen to country and reggae reported the strongest mental health, with 52 percent of each music fandom indicating strong wellbeing. In contrast, listeners of indie, alternative and heavy metal reported the worst mental health. You can’t argue with science, folks. So, the next time you need to turn that frown upside down — or just want to vibe out to your favorite mix of country music — turn on the legendary 98.5 KYGO. We’ll be waiting here for you like we have the last 44 years!
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
