Why type of genre relieves stress?

For me, the songs that really helps me to relieve strees on my iPod are my soft, easy listening songs. Songs where there are just one really pretty and soft sounding voice with a beautiful guitar riff or piano melody playing in the background. Listening to my hard rock music just makes me more wound up =)

I also heard from my music teacher in high school that Classical music can relieve stress, and it is a really good genre of music too..I myself like it. BUt it depends on you..what genre of music do you like, maybe that will relieve your stress.

i heard that classical music can really soothe your senses- our music teacher told us... Romantic and instrumental songs can do to. But I think it depends on the person, what genre he or she likes...

If you are talking about music, listen to your favorite songs or try classical music. You could also try some natural/therapeutic sounds from youtube, i am doing it if i really feel so stressed and helps a lot...
