Apart from being a form of professional training, music can work as alternative medicine, overcoming the tension and anxiety caused by stressful daily life.  It helps to bring us serenity and joy.  Basic music appreciation enables us to have a better spiritual life.  An understanding of the musical culture of different parts of the world helps us to become more observant and improve interpersonal communication skills.

Popular Music and Youth Culture: From Leisure Consumption to Intervention

Anthony FUNG
Associate Professor, School of Journalism and Communication, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

This article aims to explain the relationship between youth culture and popular music in Hong Kong.  In contrast to earlier generations, the new generation of youth expresses its identity, secures its social status and defines social relationships by means of elements in popular music.  The author argues that most youth acquire and consume music culture, forms and styles in a passive manner.  In fact, the government and youth policy makers could intervene in this process by putting more resources into formal musical education to help youth become effective, active producers rather than just purely music consumers.  Ultimately, government could also guide the development of youth values within the realm of popular music.
