Where Does Your Music Taste Come From

The video explores the concept of a 'Golden Age' of music, suggesting that personal music taste is influenced by memories formed during one's youth. Initial studies indicated that people prefer music from their teenage years, but later research showed that music preferences might also be influenced by the music their parents enjoyed. This is explained by the mere exposure effect, where repeated exposure to certain music during childhood can shape preferences. The video concludes that there is no universal Golden Age of music, but rather a personal one for each individual.
