Sumario:Knowing the importance of music for young people can help us understand their perception of reality. This research analyzes the communicative factors that determine the perception of music in young Spanish people from a survey conducted of 1000 individuals of both sexes, aged between 15 and 25 years. Analyzing the socio-demographic, cultural, and educational variables, together with the places where music is listened to, the time and form of exposure to it, and the themes of the most played songs, we conclude that music is an essential communicative element in the configuration of youth identity. However, music today loses its socializing power when it is manipulated by the cultural industry, thus creating a social ear which favours a simple listening to the songs, and causing a socially learnt reply which not always transmits positive values to the young.
