People who refer to music as a universal language are ignoring the fact that it can be a point of division between people and, at times, between whole generations. As such, it’s worth noticing, as a Pew Research Center report did this month, that there’s a comparatively small musical generation gap these days, with rock ‘n’ roll exerting a cross-generational appeal.
When respondents to Pew’s polling were asked how frequently they listen to various kinds of music, rock got the highest “often” vote (35 percent), putting it ahead of country (27 percent), rhythm and blues (22 percent), rap/hip-hop (16 percent), classical (15 percent), jazz (12 percent) and salsa/Spanish rock (6 percent).
