Time Signatures

#1...What is the difference between 3/4 and 6/8 time signature. I know that in 6/8 there is a harder beat on the fourth beat...but beside that, I really can't hear a difference.

#2... Why is it that songs that are not classical in nature that are written in 3/4 or 6/8 time signature sounds really hot to me. Like "The Kill" by 30 seconds to Mars... and pretty much all pop-jazz songs. They sound really dreamy to me... like floating on air. I guess that is why waltzes are in 3/4 time... to covey that feeling of floating on air. Who knows
