It provides a new way of understanding how music affects listeners by investigating experiences of listening to popular music in everyday life. The book uncovers why vast numbers of listeners engage with music typically regarded as 'social problems' or dismissed as 'extreme' and details how individuals interact with rap and metal communities in a self-perpetuating process which keeps these thriving music cultures alive and well.

How Music Empowers argues that empowerment is the key to unlocking the long-standing mystery of how music moves us. Drawing upon cutting-edge research in embodied cognitive science, psychology, and cultural studies, the book provides a new way of understanding how music affects listeners. The argument develops from our latest conceptions of what it is to be human, investigating experiences of listening to popular music in everyday life. Through listening, individuals have the potential to redefine themselves, gain resilience, connect with other people, and make a difference in society.
Applying a groundbreaking theoretical framework to postmillennial rap and metal, the book uncovers why vast numbers of listeners engage with music typically regarded as ‘social problems or dismissed as ‘extreme. In the first ever comparative analytical treatment of rap and metal music, twenty songs are analyzed as case studies that reveal the empowering potential of listening. The book details how individuals interact with rap and metal communities in a self-perpetuating process that keeps these thriving music cultures – and the listeners themselves – alive and well.
Can music really change the world? How Music Empowers answers: yes, because it changes us. How Music Empowers will interest scholars and researchers of popular music, ethnomusicology, music psychology, music therapy, and music education.
