|
Nice find. That meshes perfectly with my experience... I've always had this pet theory that music moves in cycles of ~25-30 years. '90s alternative sounded a lot like 60s rock, 2000s garage rock sounded a lot like '70s protopunk to me, and it absolutely blows me away how much modern indie rock sounds like a rehash of '80s electronic pop. It doesn't explain everything (where did 80s music come from?), but it's still cool that there's a pattern in music trends.
I noticed something else from the article:
| Quote: | | Music from the ’60s peaked a little later than when the grandparents of today’s college students were young enough to form their musical identity, but other psychological studies have found that music from that epochal decade resonates across generational gaps. |
This supports what we were talking about in another thread:
http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...594#241594
http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...857#241857
"Best Albums" lists in magazines tend to be heavy on '60s music. Although this article doesn't explain why, it does provide further support for the idea that there was something special about that decade.

Whoa, people connect to music from their youth? People get some of their taste from their parents? DAMN I could have never figured those things out on my own. Thanks to this article, I am now informed, it even had vague references to a study, studies are smart! OH and someone with a phd says something vague about inherent quality in music from the 60's....he must be right.
and wait! the author of the article out of nothing more than the kindness in their own hearts linked me to information about various apps tailored just to suit my classic rock loving self (even giving their prices for nothing more than myyyy convenience)! How generous of them. Clearly this is a very deep article and in no way a thinly veiled excuse to advertise said apps....

Why the fuck did I read this before reading the article?

This is much more interesting than anything in the actual article.

| Carol Krumhansl, a Ph.D apparently wrote: | | Because of the quality of the music, the grandparents may have continued to listen to popular music later in their lives than other generations |
Wait so their conclusion was that the 60s had better music quality because it didn't line up with what their study actually said. Ooook then.
And even then Im not sure if that was the point of this article anyways. Or if it even has a point. What did this study prove?

They're probably referring to the study discussed in more detail here:
http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2013/09...you-played
Yeah, it was probably being used for promotional purposes in the other link, but it's a real thing.
