What is Frisson?
Have you ever felt a sudden, passing sensation of excitement, a shudder of emotion from an epic moment of a song, or a climax of a movie? That is what is called "frisson", a word rooted from the French word meaning "Goosebumps" or "Shiver". It has been linked to rises in dopamine levels which is, in turn, linked to your outlook towards others.
Frisson is a physical reaction, it's not just about "that hit me right in the feels." Unless you get a physical tingle/chills/goosebumps/shudder, it does not belong in this subreddit. Please consider /r/aww for happy submissions and /r/baww for sad submissions if they're not frisson-inducing.

[Meta] Can we please do something about the self-promotion dumping ground this subreddit is turning into?
If you check the post history of the submissions from the last like, 30 days, about a quarter of those posts are from people who are spamming their own youtube channel on every subreddit they can find. That's not what this sub is for. I want to propose a rule against posting one's own work. I'm a musician, I write songs, but I'm not so pompous that I believe my music would send chills up anyone's spine. Is the subreddit less active than it used to be? Absolutely, but quality control will keep new people coming back.

We Belong [music], Pat Benatar Cover
There's a lot in this song. There's a driving tribal beat, soaring vocal melody, sometimes paired with angelic harmonies, and the words "We Belong" have a universal appeal. But I think one element that really tricks my ears is the tension between "for worse or for better" and the high note "We Belong, we belong,.etc."

[music] What music triggers frisson for you?
Helloo
I am looking for some new frisson triggers. They have to be songs.
I already have a relatively big list and I would love to find many more bangers!
