MSU Students' Views on Music Trends (JRN 200)


            Music’s role in society is changing, especially among young adults. Various Michigan State University students were interviewed about their views of music trends in college.
            Kassandra Nalera, a civil engineering freshman at MSU, said that lyrics are beginning to play the background in how students value music.
            “You listen to what you want to hear. And they change over time, depending on what the generation wants to hear,” she said, adding that you listen to “what you as a person want to associate with.”
            Daniel Cortes, a chemical engineering sophomore, said that song value changes person to person.
            “It all depends on who the student is and their background… I’m all about rhythm, others are all about lyrics, others are about popularity.”  
            To Kyle Fitton, a chemical engineering sophomore, social media is what creates the main music buzz.
            “When I see one or two people talking about something it doesn’t really matter, but if you see a lot of people making a big deal about something I usually go check it out. It’s usually a pretty good gauge of how interesting something is," Fitton said.
