Epilogue: The Emotive Stances and Their Reverberations in Contemporary Popular Culture

I first sum up my core analytical findings about film music’s functions in the construction of characters and the mediation between present and past and confront them with each other. Then I look at how these various analyzed musical styles and sounds and the emotive stances they evoke resonate outside the context of film music in popular culture. Of particular interest is how significant parts of film scores are reused on social media platforms such as TikTok or YouTube. Finally, I show exemplary how the discussed stances evoked through musical styles reverberate in the recent streaming platform series Hunters.
