From those born in 1960s and 1970s who secretly listened to Teresa Teng’ songs in bed to today’s worshipers of J-pop and K-pop as well as Western music, generations of youngsters grow up in popular music. Music is at all times connected with emotions, which is so prominent a feature of China’s popular music that it is safe to say that without the desire to set things right and outburst emotions once suppressed for 10 years by the Cultural Revolution, there would be no psychological basis and mass support for popular music revival in China. For over 30 years, contemporary popular music, which keeps chanting about feelings, has been expressing various emotions of people and fitting into or participating in the emotion construction of populace (especially youths) in different times and of different social status.  \nConnected indirectly with perception and ideology,“emotion” is a must-have research conception in studying the relationship between contemporary popular music and youths. Nevertheless, a puzzling but interesting phenomenon disclosed in such investigations is that: the vast majority of youths interviewed said that not much of influence is made by popular music on their thoughts and emotions when asked in an attempt to identify the effect on them; they disagreed with this view and said it has influences more or less when asked if it can be said that popular music doesn’t really have  \ninfluences on youths—which once have made us very confusing. Not until we rethink the researches on western popular music culture and put the development of contemporary Chinese popular music into a broader historical perspective, did we realize that the contradictory perception of youths regarding this issue actually has something to do with their unconscious use of ritualization towards popular cultures characterized by popular music. The reason of referring to the exercise of popular of culture by them as “ritualization ”is not only that they accept and collect the symbolic systems given by popular cultures and process and use them at random, but also that they make symbolic systems stand out by giving them a sense of “significance” and extensiveness, making it a complex of“reality/imagination”just as “rituals”suggested by sociology and anthropology. By ritualization, youths may not necessarily establish the emotional bond with the contexts of some popular music, but they exercise the identity construction centering on self-identit","cbCaikQhy0MMov43","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikQhy0MMov43","pdf",594355,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Popular music and youths’ emotional and identity construction\n## Youths’ perceived influence and the role of ritualization\n# Definition of “Self-identity”\n## Concept of identity and its social position","[{\"question\":\"Why is “emotion” considered essential in this study?\",\"answer\":\"“Emotion” is presented as a required research concept for studying the relationship between contemporary popular music and youths, because music is tightly connected with feelings and supports emotional basis for popular music revival.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the article mean by “ritualization” in youths’ engagement with popular culture?\",\"answer\":\"It refers to youths’ unconscious use of symbolic systems from popular cultures, where they assign “significance” and extensiveness, producing a complex “reality/imagination” effect similar to sociological and anthropological “rituals.”\"},{\"question\":\"How does the article describe “self-identity”?\",\"answer\":\"“Identity” is treated as a social position involving rights, obligations, responsibilities, loyalties, identifications, and codes of conduct, and “self-identity” is discussed as part of identity types including individual, collective, self, and social identities.\"}]","A Research on the Influence of Contemporary Popular Music upon Youths’ Self-identity - read online free | PDF",1792068014,15,{"code":4,"msg":81,"data":82},"ok",{"site_id":74,"language":73,"slug":83,"title":65,"keywords":84,"description":66,"schema_data":85,"social_meta":139,"head_meta":141,"extra_data":143,"updated_unix":144},"a-research-on-the-influence-of-contemporary-popular-music-upon-youths-self-identity-read-online-free","",{"@graph":86,"@context":138},[87,101,121],{"@type":88,"itemListElement":89},"BreadcrumbList",[90,94,96,99],{"item":91,"name":92,"@type":93,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":95,"name":9,"@type":93,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":97,"name":40,"@type":93,"position":98},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/",3,{"item":100,"name":65,"@type":93,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/a-research-on-the-influence-of-contemporary-popular-music-upon-youths-self-identity-read-online-free/589733/",{"url":100,"name":65,"@type":102,"image":103,"author":108,"headline":65,"publisher":110,"fileFormat":113,"inLanguage":73,"description":66,"dateModified":114,"datePublished":115,"encodingFormat":113,"isAccessibleForFree":116,"interactionStatistic":117},"DigitalDocument",{"url":104,"@type":105,"width":106,"height":107},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/a-research-on-the-influence-of-contemporary-popular-music-upon-youths-self-identity-read-online-free/589733.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":63,"@type":109},"Person",{"url":91,"name":111,"@type":112},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-11-03","2026-10-15",true,{"@type":118,"interactionType":119,"userInteractionCount":34},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":120},"ViewAction",{"@type":122,"mainEntity":123},"FAQPage",[124,130,134],{"name":125,"@type":126,"acceptedAnswer":127},"Why is “emotion” considered essential in this study?","Question",{"text":128,"@type":129},"“Emotion” is presented as a required research concept for studying the relationship between contemporary popular music and youths, because music is tightly connected with feelings and supports emotional basis for popular music revival.","Answer",{"name":131,"@type":126,"acceptedAnswer":132},"What does the article mean by “ritualization” in youths’ engagement with popular culture?",{"text":133,"@type":129},"It refers to youths’ unconscious use of symbolic systems from popular cultures, where they assign “significance” and extensiveness, producing a complex “reality/imagination” effect similar to sociological and anthropological “rituals.”",{"name":135,"@type":126,"acceptedAnswer":136},"How does the article describe “self-identity”?",{"text":137,"@type":129},"“Identity” is treated as a social position involving rights, obligations, responsibilities, loyalties, identifications, and codes of conduct, and “self-identity” is discussed as part of identity types including individual, collective, self, and social identities.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":100,"og:type":140,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":111,"og:description":66},"article",{"robots":142,"canonical":100},"index,follow",{"doc_id":61,"site_id":74},1793141595]
