Cultural consumption, Music, Omnivorism, Social stratificationAbstract
Musical taste has been a research focus in sociology, not in the way it is acquired in school, but how primary groups, e.g. family or peer groups, have influenced it. In this article we have used the Survey of Social Reality in Andalusia (2009) with the aim of showing the role played by individuals social characteristics on their music consumption patterns. Our results have showed that there is no a exclusive consumption pattern of high culture linked to a social milieu. Through a latent class analysis, we have found three consumption patterns: ‘omnivore’, ‘modern’ and ‘traditional univore’, distinguishing by educational level, age and social origin. Thus, the voraciousness of musical genres is the result of a combination of factors such as educational attainment, life cycle and intergenerational transmission of cultural skills and attitudes, and not by the achievement of prestige or social class.
