What emotion should Spotify be shooting for? Good music can cause a lot of different emotions; dopamine can come from many emotional sources.

Even no emotion is fine. Music doesn’t need to exercise our brains all the time. Or even every time you listen to a particular song.

I don't particularly care about the details. I want the mixes or radios or discovers to be interesting to me. I'll give them lots of information if it will help them get it right.
