>I also frisson to music
I think this is pretty common. I mean, there's even a term for it, "give the chills"[1] - eg. "Listening to this track gave me the chills".

- bane 14y agoIt's fairly common in certain groups. I can't find the paper on it, but I think in the general populace it runs around 30% of the population. My wife and none of her family for example, absolutely do not frisson. While my father and I do in my family, but none of my adopted siblings do. My mother may or may not, but she tends to fall into "religious experiences" through a variety of stimuli and it's hard to get her to succinctly describe the feeling.
- GotAnyMegadeth 14y agoI had never heard the word 'frisson' before, and I had no idea that some people didn't do it to music. Happens to me all the time. Interesting.
- Le_SDT 14y agoI don't know if it is an English word but it's part of the French language as "to have a chill" or I don't know the correct expression/word in English :)
- bane 14y agoIn English it has a similar, but slightly different meaning. Here's some more info on it http://www.cogsci.msu.edu/DSS/2008-2009/Huron/HuronFrisson.pdf http://www.cogsci.msu.edu/DSS/2008-2009/Huron/HuronFrisson.p...
