I must say that I never really thought about it, uh, but I think that there is definitely a huge difference between, uh, the preferences of old and young generation. So for, uh, example, younger generation, uh, prefers to listen to music. Foreign, uh, music. I would say. For example, my friends and I, we listen to Spanish music, English music and French music and language of, uh, different nations. We do not limit, uh, our musical preferences. And sometimes we don’t really care about, uh, the lyrics about the meaning of the song for as long as it sounds good and pleasant to the ears. Uh, but old generation, well, um, mostly because they were quite limited back in their time with, uh, uh, music choices. They tend to listen to music of their own native language. So for example, in our case it’s Kazakh on Russian. But also they really do care about meaning. And also I tend to notice that they prefer to listen to more positive and funny sounds, uh, rather than to the sad ones that our generation really like. Likes to vibe, to feel sadness. Our generation likes that compared to the older one.

I must say that I never really thought about it, but I think there is definitely a huge difference between the preferences of the older and younger generations. For example, the younger generation prefers to listen to foreign music. My friends and I listen to Spanish music, English music, and French music, and we do not limit our musical preferences. Sometimes we don't really care about the lyrics or the meaning of the song as long as it sounds good and is pleasant to the ears. The older generation, mostly because they were quite limited back in their time with music choices, tends to listen to music in their own native language. In our case, it's Kazakh and Russian. They also really care about the meaning of the songs. I tend to notice that they prefer to listen to more positive and funny sounds rather than the sad ones that our generation really likes. Our generation likes to vibe and feel sadness compared to the older one.
