Welcome. I hope that maybe you can gain some insight on how or why most people enjoy music. People here like to talk about how songs or albums make them feel so I hope you get something out of reading music related posts here.

And why it means so much in the lives of so many, including me.
It's absolutely not rubbish and I can't believe that anyone would state that so boldly as you did there. Everybody's brain is different, they all work differently. There are areas of the brain devoted to emotional interpretation of sounds, and while it functions in most people, those brain centres might not function in other people. Just because you say some music makes you feel something doesn't mean that another person is going to feel the same way about it.
