MUSICAL PREFERENCES AS AN ELEMENT OF THE LIFEWORLD OF YOUTH

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the problem of youth’s musical preferences and shaping their musical taste as a part of the lifeworld. Using the definition of lifeworld and musical socialization, the article demonstrates that the lifeworld of youth performs compensatory and stabilizing functions and also alleviates their behavior. It is mainly these functions make that social reality become their “own world”. In the lifeworld, the musical preferences of young people are very important, and quite often turn out to be a means of communication.It should be noted that the music does not only affect the shaping of the lifeworld of young people, thus allowing them to be identified but, above all, separates the “youth world” from the “adult world”. Musical styles begin to serve as a kind of social language, being the stratification criterion for youth subcultures. Musical preferences as part of the process of youth socialization are one of the main manifestations of limiting the living space of young people.
