people listen to music while high.
chemical changes induced by dope are at the root of it all.
Your skin thinks it's an eardrum, and vibrates to the frequencies...
psycho dabbling your chromosomes is not a habit to be frequented...

No wonder my skin wants to smoke a cigarette after listening to music.

BlueSardine is full of shit. It has nothing to do with drugs. I've never taken an illegal drug in my life, yet I used to experience the chills when listening to music and experiencing other emotional events all the time when I was a teenager.
I think age is a big factor. You are much less likely to experience this phenomenon the older you get. I don't think I've experienced this since turning 30.
Of course, people are more emotional and sensitive during their adolescence and early adult hood. You feel everything stronger then. You brain also records memories in high definition during that time which is why your strongest memories are from then while you can forget just about everything you've done in entire decades or longer when your older.

BlueSardine is full of shit.
BlueSardine is a troll, who needs to die of natural causes, since it's illegal to advocate any physical violence against him or to convince him to commit suicide.
It's his unconscious mind, which needs to generate an illness that finally takes him down.
BlueSardine, please die of natural causes. Really, you don't have to live in this world anymore.
Have you ever been listening to a great piece of music and felt a chill run up your spine? Or goosebumps tickle your arms and shoulders?
*The experience is called frisson (pronounced free-sawn), a French term meaning “aesthetic chills,†and it feels like waves of pleasure running all over your skin. Some researchers have even dubbed it a “skin orgasm.*â€
Listening to emotionally moving music is the most common trigger of frisson, but some feel it while looking at beautiful artwork, watching a particularly moving scene in a movie or having physical contact with another person. Studies have shown that roughly two-thirds of the population feels frisson, and frisson-loving Reddit users have even created a page to share their favorite frisson-causing media.
But why do some people experience frisson and not others?
While previous research had connected Openness to Experience with frisson, most researchers had concluded that listeners were experiencing frisson as a result of a deeply emotional reaction they were having to the music.
In contrast, the results of our study show that it’s the cognitive components of “Openness to Experience†– such as making mental predictions about how the music is going to unfold or engaging in musical imagery (a way of processing music that combines listening with daydreaming) – that are associated with frisson to a greater degree than the emotional components.
These findings, recently published in the journal Psychology of Music, indicate that those who intellectually immerse themselves in music (rather than just letting it flow over them) might experience frisson more often and more intensely than others.
