The study uses advertising sections of the widely read and successful weekly Humoristické listy [Humorous Papers] as a source of the history of music. Through an analysis of advertisement departments, it maps the city inhabitants´ opportunities in the late nineteenth century to fill their leisure time with musical activities. The advertisements create a space where the offer encounters the inquiry. They thus become a witness to contemporary tastes, preferences, and mentalities. The research shows that alongside traditional musical instruments, which required at least a rudimentary interpretation skills to master the play, instruments operating by mechanical means (automatophones) or those designed without much artistic ambition for profane social entertainment (e.g. bigotphones) were gaining in popularity. The space in which contact with music took place was also expanding. Various refreshment venues allured people with regular concerts. The submitted text is a contribution to the history of popular music in the Czech lands, and it partly reflects the public taste of the time.

The primary objective of this article is cultural-historical interpretation of the social impact of the production of musical genres on the borderline between folk and popular music. The investigation aims to illuminate the reception and cultural significance of these musical hybrids in the Czech context, with a particular focus on their cross-border interaction with Austria. The study examines intersections of age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity and gender, associated with the preferences for musical genres on the borderline between folk and popular music in Austria and the Czech lands in the 1990s, meaning a period characterized by an abrupt and intensified integration of global cultural influences. Relying predominantly on empirical evidence and the current state of expert knowledge, the research identifies several contextual and model roles in which this music may have served as a divisive or unifying factor. The identification of the intersections between the consumption, production and circulation of pop-folk music is discussed here in three aspects: age, class, and geography

The article discusses the problem of youth’s musical preferences and shaping their musical taste as a part of the lifeworld. Using the definition of lifeworld and musical socialization, the article demonstrates that the lifeworld of youth performs compensatory and stabilizing functions and also alleviates their behavior. It is mainly these functions make that social reality become their “own world”. In the lifeworld, the musical preferences of young people are very important, and quite often turn out to be a means of communication. It should be noted that the music does not only affect the shaping of the lifeworld of young people, thus allowing them to be identified but, above all, separates the “youth world” from the “adult world”. Musical styles begin to serve as a kind of social language, being the stratification criterion for youth subcultures. Musical preferences as part of the process of youth socialization are one of the main manifestations of limiting the living space of young people.
