User blog comment:TentacleSenpai/The Purpose of Music?/@comment-27007772-20150728191951

We have the ability to sense emotion in tone.

Music is a recreational activity. Sentient and sapient species do this. Invent and do things that don't make a "survival" sense, but rather a "fun/entertaining" sense. It all comes with self awareness.

Music stimulates and different types can invoke different emotions. It sounds nice. Melodic and chaotic.
