Wow, I had no idea this even existed, and I was alive back then.

I think it can also be to avoid the negative situation where someone feels left out or unlikeable. Or in the case of children, to let them know you're having fun like they are. A split second of recognition (or the lack of it) can make a big difference in someone's mood.
I grew up around a lot of stone-faced adults, and was always wondering if I made them mad or said/did something stupid. I don't want to make others feel that way.

It's very unusual for me to find something truly hilarious, and when it does happen it tends to be when it's just me & a friend or my SO.
Most of the time when I'm laughing it's to keep the energy up & positive, as well as to acknowledge & show appreciation for whoever said what I'm reacting to. Especially with kids or younger adults.

Very dependent on who's listening.
I often replay a track all the way through twice before I decide. I may like aspects of it, but if it's too repetitive and/or unoriginal and doesn't do anything interesting, challenging, insightful or novel, I'm walking.
