The appearance f buzzwrds is resulting frm the agreement f netizens. If smething is new and interesting enugh, it will cause public attentin.
The rise f these buzzwrds als benefits frm their strng “adhesive(粘着的) frce”. After analyzing these buzzwrds, we find that they have a cmmn character, namely “nvel in structure but empty in cntent”. Therefre, any cncrete cntents can be added in these buzzwrds, creating fantastic results.

6. A new study suggests that sad music might actually aruse psitive emtins. The finding helps t explain why peple enjy listening t sad music, say Ai Kawakami and her clleagues frm Tky University f the Arts and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute, Japan. Ai Kawakami and her clleagues asked 44 vlunteers, including bth musicians and nnspecialists, t listen t tw pieces f sad music and ne piece f happy music. Each participant was required t use a set f keywrds t rate bth their perceptin(观念) f the music and their wn emtinal state.
The sad pieces f music included Glinka’s La Separatin in F minr and Blumenfeld’s Etude Sur Mer in G minr. The happy music piece was Granads’s Allegr de Cnciert in G majr. T cntrl the “happy” effect f majr key, they als played the minr key(小调) pieces in majr key, and vise versa.
The researchers explained that sad music arused cntradictry emtins because the participants f the study tended t feel sad t be mre tragic and less rmantic than they felt themselves while listening t it.
“ In general, sad music causes sadness in listeners, and sadness is regarded as an unpleasant emtin. If sad music actually aruses nly unpleasant emtin, we wuld nt listen t it,” the researchers wrte in the study.
“Music that is believed as sad actually causes rmantic emtin as well as sad emtin.And peple, regardless f their musical training, experience this ambivalent(矛盾的) emtin t listen t the sad music,” added the researchers.
Als, unlike sadness in daily life, sadness experienced thrugh art actually feels pleasant, pssibly because the latter des nt cause an actual threat t ur safety. This culd help peple t deal with their negative emtins in daily life, cncluded the authrs.
“Emtin experienced by music has n direct danger r harm unlike the emtin experienced in everyday life. Therefre, we can even enjy unpleasant emtin such as sadness. If we suffer frm unpleasant emtin arused thrugh daily life, sad music might be helpful t alleviate negative emtin,” they added.
