Some believe music is a kind of proto-language, and that although even babies respond to music, they also learn what their culture’s music means as they grow older. Even those of us who are not musicians hear music all our lives and associate certain music with certain experiences and memories.
If we hear music from another culture, or even a subculture of our own community that is unfamiliar to us, it may take us a while to get used to it and appreciate it. We have to learn the language, so to speak. And that could account for why different generations, even in the same household, may like different styles of music.
