A study in "Memory and Cognition" found that music we hear between ages 13-17 hits us with way more emotional impact because of what's happening in our teenage brains.

Here's why:
• Teen brains are going through massive changes, especially around emotions and identity 
• Music heard during these years doesn't just get remembered—it becomes part of who you're becoming 
• That's why hearing one song from high school can instantly transport you back to being that person

Spotify data backs this up: most people's music taste gets locked in during their late teens. Songs tied to first crushes, heartbreak, and big moments become "emotional bookmarks."
