Happy or angry

That piece that you just listened to showed that you're happy. The other emotions towards this is also means like you're determined, angry, brave, and full of energy. My Theory for this piece is that whenever people is angry or happy, they would listen to these types of songs to be relaxed and it can also calm them down sometimes and it matches how they feel.

There are many types of music like the ones listed above.
