It’s my Music, You only listen to it too

As Bourdieu said “taste is nothing more than the distaste of others”, And that can no more be seen than when looking at the different tastes in music , especially whne looking at ‘punk’ music which is primarily a distaste for all popular music to produce taste for this type of ‘anti all other music, along with what goes on with the music’.

The one thing about music that makes it good AND bad is it individuality to the person that listens to it; especially young people. While news is what informs and directs adults in their daily life, music is what does this for adolescence. If you speak to most teens, the majority of then would say that they could live without Tv, but would never be able to live without music. Along with encompassing the peoples musical life , the music they listen to also has an effect on the rest of their life. No other form of media has the overall effect that music has on a person. The music that a person listens to also effects the way in which they act and dress and show themselves as an individual. This can easily be seen in the different attire that people wear and the way that styles are now identified by the music that inspires them: Goth, Emo, Gangsta, Grunge, Punk.

I know even for myself, I could never live without music. If you see me walking around, you would be hardpressed to see me without earphones in at all times when not in class. This comes from many years of having to listen to people’s absurd conversations on the bus and in the halls and finally getting fed up with it to a point where I need to have headphones in to get through the day without blowing someone’s head off.

I agree, I think music is one of those things that you just feel. Everyperson feels it different and i guess Like you said taste is very individualistic. Maybe thats one of the beauty’s of music, that we dont even look at is the variety is so big unlike TV that everyone does have a chance to find somthing that is individualistic to themselves

I couldn’t agree more. What Bourdieu said rings true with me and my taste in music. I think that is why I loved the song I choose to share with the class last week, but barely liked any of the others. Actually, I thought the other songs were absolutely dreadful. I just didn’t understand what people found special about them or what they got from listening from them. I really enjoyed the class thought. It was different and enlightening in its own way. I just thought the taste is music was terrible though, so in that sense, I am pretty much reflecting on the, “taste of the distaste of others.” You can also check out one of my blog posts, in which that message rings true and comes out.

For def. I remember watching this thing on Much, pretty sure, about how music has changed or held such an impact in teens’ lives. I think the teens on the show had great difficulties in their social environments and had nothing other than the music to turn to. People view music as an entity, a part of them, their best friend and most loathed enemy. I know i would rather die than listen to anything by some screeching blond bimbo or Pussycat dolls hahah, but that’s just my taste. Taste does influence the aspects of your life such as your attitude and style, especially if music is deeemed as important to you. Oh, and have you heard of that new show ‘who will be the next Doll’? What a disgrace! Those girls on it look about 14!! hahah sick.
