The researchers of the University of Goth: Taste (GH) have found that the musical taste changes to age, and this may explain why the recommendations of listening to music are "more strange", given by the University of Goethborg (GH).
Researchers have analyzed the 15-year hearing results of more than 40,000 Last.fM user. In total, the sample included more than 542 million songs of more than one million songs.
The results showed that teenagers and young people listen to a wide range of folk music, followed by trends and are open to tests. At the adult age, taste becomes more diverse, but gradually the listener narrows the range of interests and chooses music that is more connected with personal experience. At middle age and later, Nostalgia begins to play a key role. People return more often to their youth songs, although they continue to discover new things.
"When you are young, you want to try everything," said Alan Said, a co-author of the study. "But when you grow up, do you have a style that you identify with? Charter becomes less important. " This poses a serious challenge for the proposal systems. Young listeners use the combination of new hits and classics, with which they are not familiar. Middle audience appreciates the balance between the new and acquaintance, while the listeners of the older want to see suggestions that reflect their unique preferences and memories.
