- 요약This dissertation highlights two prominent facets of post-millennial pop listening- cognition and communication-by engaging directly with the music listening experience itself to better recognize popular music as a uniquely situated element of contemporary culture. As technological advancement continues to speed rapidly ahead, we now have thousands of songs at our fingertips and are exposed to a wider breadth of stylistic patterns than ever before. We possess an implicit understanding of the structural frameworks that exist in popular music, allowing us to successfully predict the trajectory of a song as it unfolds. At the same time, the act of sharing and recommending music is newly heightened and made central to the active musical experience.In Part I of this dissertation, I examine structural aspects of music listening, drawing from recent popular music literature (e.g., Nobile, 2020, 2022; Osborn, 2023; Peres, 2016). I present the results of a 200-song corpus study, comparing pre- and post- millennial popular music to note prominent post-2000s patterns (especially as mediated by texture), then test listeners' expectations for texture change in a behavioral experiment. Reflecting the propensity for prechoruses and choruses to increase in texture, results find that listeners prefer textural increases, especially in the context of local musical activity I call textural cues. Turning to societal aspects of listening in Part II, I outline the effect of algorithm-based listening by modeling a user-to-user recommendation system and engaging in network analysis. I connect trends in contemporary music to generational cycles (Bollas, 1992) and the cascading reminiscence bump (Krumhansl & Zupnick, 2010), outlining their manifestations in the conception of genre. Altogether, I echo recent work by Sloan and Harding (2021) and Pelley (2025), positing that structural and societal aspects of music are fundamentally intertwined and consistently updated to cognitively and communicatively constrain the post-millennial pop listening experience.
