Abstract
This article reports results of a panel study of 509 Swedish youth, with data collected in 1976, 1978, and 1980, on uses and gratifications of popular music. There is a relationship between amount of peer orientation and type of music preferred. An exploratory factor analysis identified three types of music preference: (1) punk, new wave, and rock; (2) mainstream pop; and (3) classical, jazz, and folk music. Motivations for listening were more physical and emotional than cerebral (that is, listening to lyrics).Keywords
