Turbofolk – od zabranjenog voća do mainstreama: istraživanje glazbenog ukusa zadarskih srednjoškolaca
Turbofolk - of forbidden fruit to the mainstream:research on musical taste among Zadar high school students

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to show, on an example of high school students of the final years in Zadar and Zadar County, the socio-cultural context which influences the formation of musical taste, which involves listening to turbo-folk. Results of a study that was carried out in late 2014 on a sample of 866 students of all types of secondary schools in Zadar and Biograd, are shown and commented. In order to examine the preferences towards turbo-folk, bivariate statistical analysis were conducted, examining the relevance of the various socio-demographic, socio-economic and socio-cultural variables. It turns out that the best predictors for listening to turbo-folk are sex, attending religious ceremonies, religiosity and intolerance toward homosexuality and generally conservative and traditional values. From being politically antagonized, turbo-folk becomes commercialized hybrid genre. The importance of embodied cultural capital is emphasised, while the socio-economic context, also institutionalized and objectified cultural capital, do not appear to be significant predictors for listening to turbo-folk.
