Document Summary
Being american shaped swift in some way, being canadian shaped bieber. Taste can influence us so far as to not like someone who enjoys that music. Capital: traditional: money, cultural: what you know, social: who you know. Companies, as well as people, need distinction: apple is cool, hip. No relevance to 21st century, states that classes have different tastes. Today, however, many kinds of cultural tastes cross over. Knowing more about one style of music doesn"t make you special. Omnivore culture knowing about all styles (classical, jazz, hip hop, etc. ) Switch between different musical topics easily is also valued. Ethnicity, gender, region also play a role in our musical tastes. We enjoy music not only due to others, but for ourselves (la la the cab) No one likes everything the same: having a taste is to prefer some things above others. Had to be in major music centres to be discovered. Swift went to nashville, bieber went to atlanta.
