Music, something that is included in most people’s everyday lives. From new mainstream artists, a variety of genres, and the amount of time spent listening. We all have our preferences and times for music. At Poly, the students’ taste varies widely, while some may be similar, everyone’s tastes are unique in their own way.
While some classes may prohibit students from listening to music and being on their phones, there’s always a time and place for it. Let’s take a look into the variation of music that students at Poly listen to and how often they do as well.
One student, Joel Gonzalez, a 10th grader in the CIC pathway at Poly, shared:
“I like to listen to corridos, that’s kind of it—I listen to music almost every day.”
Marcus Williams, a 12th grader in the PARTS pathway at Poly, said,
“I listen to alternative indie music like Mac DeMarco, Daniel Caesar, Faye Webster—I listen to music every day, I’m listening to music right now.”
As shown in the pie chart to the side, it is seen that there are a variety of genres that students at Poly enjoy. These categories represent the genres most frequently mentioned, but are not limited to the many other genres that other students may enjoy. These genres range from R&B, to alternative music and more. While interest in music genres may be different, there is one thing that unites those differences, and that is the amount of time spent listening to music. In fact, 13 of 15 students interviewed at Poly claim to listen to music every day, amusing, right?
Whether students turn to music to relax, to focus, or simply to feel understood, it’s clear that music carries a personal meaning for individuals. In the end, the variety of genres only shows how uniquely each student connects with the world through the music enjoy. Poly by name, Poly by nature, the variety of genres students enjoy shows just how diverse their tastes are.
