Abstract

When speaking about music, the term groove can refer to objective qualities, such as rhythmic patterns, or to subjective experiences, such as the pleasurable urge to move to the music. However, the mere juxtaposition of objective musical causes and subjective psychological effects may be too simplistic to fully capture the multifaceted groove phenomenon. We therefore broaden the perspective of groove research by analyzing how people use the term groove in the everyday language of 970,220 comments on 155 YouTube music videos. The corresponding songs were previously rated on groove, operationalized as a pleasurable urge to move. Results show that groove terms were more likely to be used in comments on songs that received higher groove ratings. Resonating with the definition of groove as a pleasurable urge to move, groove terms were very likely to co-occur with movement terms, and comments mentioning groove expressed more positive sentiments. We also found that groove terms were predominantly used to describe objective musical qualities in comments on funk, soul, and R&B songs, suggesting that the use of groove is related to genre. In general, we demonstrate how text mining can be used to review existing definitions and gain new perspectives on current topics in music science.

日常语言中“groove”用法的文本挖掘方法

当谈到音乐时，groove这个词可以指客观的品质，比如节奏模式，也可以指主观的体验，比如随着音乐移动的愉悦冲动。然而，仅仅将客观的音乐原因和主观的心理影响并置，可能过于简单，无法完全捕捉到多方面的凹槽现象。因此，我们通过分析人们如何在155个YouTube音乐视频的970,220条评论的日常语言中使用groove一词，拓宽了groove研究的视角。相应的歌曲先前被评为“最佳”，作为一种愉快的运动冲动。结果显示，对于那些获得较高好评的歌曲，人们更有可能在评论中使用“groove”一词。与“凹槽”的定义相呼应的是，“凹槽”术语很可能与“运动”术语同时出现，提到“凹槽”的评论表达了更积极的情绪。我们还发现，在对放克、灵魂乐和R&B歌曲的评论中，groove术语主要用于描述客观的音乐品质，这表明groove的使用与音乐类型有关。总的来说，我们展示了如何使用文本挖掘来审查现有的定义，并获得音乐科学当前主题的新视角。

期刊介绍： Psychology of Music and SEMPRE provide an international forum for researchers working in the fields of psychology of music and music education, to encourage the exchange of ideas and to disseminate research findings. Psychology of Music publishes peer-reviewed papers directed at increasing the scientific understanding of any psychological aspect of music. These include studies on listening, performing, creating, memorising, analysing, describing, learning, and teaching, as well as applied social, developmental, attitudinal and therapeutic studies. Special emphasis is placed on studies carried out in naturalistic settings, especially those which address the interface between music psychology and music education.
