IMHO I think it's the opposite.
The more repetitive tracks (to a degree) generally get stuck in your brain easier, provided they're done well. David Guetta's GRRRR (and before you criticize me.... listen to it... it's amazing, it's tech house and there aren't any vocals, it came out of absolutely ing nowhere)

for instance, has like 70 plays in my iTunes library, Pleasurekraft's Tarantula is #1 most played and Deadmau5's Arguru is 2nd most played, and both are fairly repetitive tracks. Other tracks that are up there are Pryda - Aftermath, The End, Human Behaviour, Melo (I could keep going)
My favourite Tiesto track is Traffic which is extremely repetitive. Now if I look at other tracks that are less repetitive, like Black is the New Yellow by Super 8 and Tab, it's a great track but I can't listen to it over and over again, and 2099 by Leon Bolier and Marcus Schossow, same thing.
It might just depend on the person. |

It really depends on the song imo. Certain songs could be quite repetitive, but have a hook that you just can't get out of your head and want to hear over and over. Other less repetitive songs might have various elements that you can't process all in the first listen, so you want to hear it again to enjoy what you may have missed.
I think the theory may be a bit skewed if one doesn't like repetitive music in general. |

I deleted it because you were right, it was stupid, lol. If I deleted it because I didn't want you to make fun of me I would've deleted it when you told me I looked like Christopher Walken lol. |

My 14 months old son already loves repetitive music now.
My 4 years old daughter still loves repetitive music.
They listen it time after time after time, till I get sick of it...
But even I still do like repetitive music.
So I'm looking forward to see what supports the theory, as my view is personal and not based on much. |

| I think it'd be hard to find anything to support that theory that doesn't involve subjective tastes. People listen to things they like more than things they don't, so if you like repetitive music you listen to it more, and if you don't, you don't. |
