By looking and analyzing the data gathered after our experiment, it is clear to see that our hypothesis is partially incorrect. This would be because it is not only based on the musical makeup and simplicity of the songs but on the constant repetition of the songs. For example, the genre that the earworm effect was most consistent under overall was pop. It was simple to recognize why because the pop song chosen for the category was constantly repeated on the radio during the time period that the research was conducted. On the other hand, the other songs listed under genres like rock and rap although they were catchy and were consistent on simplicity and likeability, they were not being constantly repeated throughout the person’s day.
