Frission[0] is the academic term for chills experienced while listening to music (and or exposure to other stimuli).
There's a subreddit[1] in case anyone is curious about the various frission triggers people report. IMO the subreddit is interesting because people evidently experience frission from a surprising variety of things.

- tgv 4y agoFrisson, not frission. I’d say is literary than academic.
- 1MachineElf 4y agoThanks. I was wondering why gBoard was trying to correct me. My comment was too hastily written.
- layer8 4y agoIt’s French. ;)
- tsukurimashou 4y agofrisson is the french word for chills
- taopai 4y agoThank you a lot! I've been experiencing this since I was a kid. Specially in orquestral soundtracks like "The breaking of the fellowship" but also in electronic music like "Ode to joy" from Savant or "Herz an herz" from Blümchen. The anticipation of the climax of this songs give me chills that go way beyond what an orgasm feels like.
- caleb-allen 4y agoYou should listen to the full first movement of Beethoven's 5th Symphony. It's one of the most popular pieces of music in history, and for good reason!
- mightybyte 4y agoFor a more modern one, Apocalyptica's Nothing Else Matters (the Official Video on YouTube is the exact version) is one of the most memorable frisson experiences I've had in recent years. After I first heard it while dancing I listened to it for like a week straight and got frisson at the climax basically every single time.
- taopai 4y agoI can't believe I never listened the whole piece. It has been an awesome experience! Thank you!
- wincy 4y agoGustav Holst’s Jupiter always does it for me. It’s absolutely sublime. I have to skip it when I’m working because otherwise I’ll have to take a break to bask in the glow of the song’s crescendo.
- mr_alot 4y agoThanks for the resource. My first thought was, I bet some people get frisson by watching at mathematical formulas. And then I realized I had that once at a numberphile video about the mandelbrot set.
