This article highlights the new global study led by the University of Jyväskylä which reveals that our most emotionally resonant music tends to come from our teenage years—peaking around age 17. It considers this pronounced pattern, known as the "reminiscence bump," which reflects our tendency to form the strongest emotional ties to music from our teenage years.
