music and place.

I think when certain music is played at a party, it can definitely alter the mood. I mean, if you think back on the music you hear at parties, it's generally hip-hop or dance or something generally up-beat and danceable. People come to parties to have a good time and I think the music usually reflects that. You don't really hear sad or soft music at a party because people will be less likely to get up and dance or laugh with something like that playing. When you walk into a room and hear a certain type of music playing, it gives you a clue as to how you should behave and I think party music definitely influences peoples' moods in that sense.
