Introduction
Rather it is rap or rock people like music in one way or another. From listening to Barney when we’re young, to growing up and listening to rap songs that portray women in negative way, talking about killing their own brothers over drugs, and other illegal acts. The fact that we go from one completely different genre of music to the extreme opposite is perplexing. Is it due to the fact that, music is nothing more than a phase changing due to our maturity? What are the most popular genre to each age group and how come it varies? I will be looking at the most popular and, least popular genres of music according to age and, asking why is it that each age group likes the music they like.
Literature Review
When the listener is listening to classical music, their heart rate slows down, when the listener is listing to heavy metal their heart rate is faster along with the rate of breathing, our overall cardiovascular health, according to B David Ferrel (Ranked #6 expert in Psychology & Psychiatry), “elements of music are related to the role it plays on the human psyche”. This research is according to age, culture, what that person has been exposed to.
Christine G. White submitted a thesis to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic and State University on the subject of music preference stating that “As people age, they move through different social settings in which different kinds of culture, including musical opinion will change.” Christine also goes on to say that isolation, usually leads to a negative judgment of music no matter the age of the person.
Method
A musical survey with questions both personal and opinionated about musical genre preference and age is the procedure used in the survey. There is a total of ten surveys, and they were taken to my work place and given to a group of co-works ages ranging from categories nine to fifteen, to, forty-one to fifty years old and asked to rate the different genres of music according to a zero to five scale, (zero being, don’t like that genre at all, to five being loves that specific genre.) Genres of music include assorted rock, Jazz, International, assortment of Country, Opera and many others.
Results
A survey collected from the age range of nine to fifteen rated pop, and alternative as the top favorite, giving them a five out of five. Metal gets a total of four points out of five and, all other genres with a score of two and under most all being zero.
Three surveys with age group of nineteen to twenty-five choose soft rock as a favorite with a accumulative of fourteen out of fifteen possible points. This is followed by oldies (1950-70) with 13 points, country, and alternative at 12. The least liked genre of this age group is texmex with only three points.
Another, three surveys age group from twenty-six to thirty chooses alternative as their favorite genre giving it a total of fourteen out of fifteen points. International and metal come in second with twelve points. Lastly, rockabilly, texmex, and, religious come in as the least favorite genre with only one point.
Two survey’s collected from age group of thirty-one to forty say’s that classic rock, metal, and oldies (1950-70) is their favorite genre, giving it a ten out of ten total points. The least favorite genre picked by this age group includes reggae, religious, texmex, and rockabilly giving each one a two out of ten points.
The last age range surveyed was forty-one to fifty with only one collected. This age group chooses classic rock as their favorite genre and folk, blues, international, and indie as their least favorite giving a zero to each category.
Discussion
It seems both authors are correct in saying that music preference is different among different age group because as people grow up it depends on how they form their personalities. This how people come to enjoy the music they enjoy. I think as a person ages their surrounds and social groups have the biggest role in what music people enjoy.
Speculations and inferentially…

Sorry, but I think this is against Yahoo policy. Not to be harsh, but if you finish it yourself, you’ll gain more than to ask others to do it for you.
