Smaken är som baken - En kvalitativ studie av hur musiksmak formas och delas

Abstract

This thesis aims to investigate how individuals understand and value music in the context of producing taste in music. Through interviews, community posts regarding Spotify and old concert reviews this research considers experience, learning and environment to be key factors in making the distinction between good and bad music. The induvial perception can explain why we think differently, while the correlation between the socially communicated taste and the tunes that are considered pleasurable not always is perfect.
