Music or something we hear? Sociology of music in today's context
Marija Žagmešter
Abstract
This paper discusses the ease of defining the concept of music and continues to focus on the importance of analyzing the sociology of music, which is underdeveloped in Croatia but not left out of the literature of great classical and contemporary sociologists. The paper presents current research in the context of today's popular music that draws important conclusions about values, inherited capital, musicians, and audience. The direction, that flows from the creator of the song to the audience, is guided by the media that distribute the music, whether that distribution is positive or negative. The goal of this paper is to show the state of musical preferences in Croatia and indicate the importance of such research for educational purposes, which can be achieved with the help of the sociology of music because it allows us to show the relationship between music and society.
