Taste in music, literature, and the arts has been a rich site for studying the relationship between culture and stratification for decades. This work consistently finds that socioeconomic status shapes the volume of culture consumed, yet questions about the breadth of musical tastes remain. The effects of race/ethnicity inequality also remain understudied in most of the existing research, the effects of which often serve as controls, but are not …
Investing in meaning
Toy collectibles such as LEGO, Pokémon, and Magic: The Gathering have seen a steep increase in consumer interest as objects of financial investment. This puts pressure on the meaningfulness of collecting, as the ‘thrill of the hunt’ is replaced by transparent online marketplaces with disenchanting financial logics and direct, frictionless consumption options. Based on qualitative interviews with collectors of the popular Collectible Card Game (CC…
In Sync
In this study we explore how types of audience engagement (the how) align with the music that is being performed at a concert (the what), with the aim of understanding how meaning is given to this alignment as an aspect of cultural taste. Doing this we add to a growing field of research that emphasizes the importance of the modes of consumption in cultural homology. Concerts provide a unique context for understanding this as they are social activ…

This paper examines audience engagement at livestreamed concerts, a form of mediatised cultural consumption that saw an immense growth in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. Concerts, as events that draw large groups of people with similar intentions, are the perfect location for the establishment of large-scale interaction rituals - moments of group behaviour characterised by a highly intense collective emotion. Furthermore, as social occas…
The aesthetics of the self
In this study we explore the so-called Internet aesthetics, labels applied on heterogenous collections of materials and activities by Internet users, which are discussed and constructed primarily on the Internet. We conducted qualitative content analyses on entries of AestheticsWiki, as well as interviews with 11 Internet aesthetics enthusiasts. In contrast to established notions such as genre, style or subculture, Internet aesthetics are charact…

‘Wear Clogs and just Act Normal’
The last few decades have seen a surge in the consumption of locally produced popular music in the West. Domestic music – music made by national artists and sung in the national language – has gained increasing popularity, specifically within the lower to middle-class segments of the native population. This article uses the Dutch music genre levenslied to explore this growing trend. From a neo-Durkheimian perspective, we can assume the presence o…
The ‘lonely raver’
This paper offers an explorative analysis of the online social practices of \nlivestreamed concerts as one of the most popular cultural outlets during the \nCOVID-19 imposed ‘lockdown’ in Europe. Ritual theory is used to investigate \nthe potential of these virtual concerts in generating a collective \nconsciousness, and the related feelings of social solidarity and resilience, \nspecifically important in times of physical isolation. Through a th…
