Listening to young people through their music: disenchantment, violence and peace culture Authors Raúl Navarro Zárate Universitat de Barcelona https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3608-9620 Raúl Arango Pérez Universitat de Barcelona DOI: 10.2436/20.3009.01.310 Keywords: youth cultures, urban music, youth, cultural pedagogy, youth movements Abstract This text focuses on listening to young people through their music. Therefore, it explores a large decade that begins with the financial crisis of 2008 and continues until the experience of the coronavirus in 2020. The aim is to understand what some young people are telling us about the world in which we live and, in particular, about their experience of being young. We have chosen to work on the construction of a history of the present time, focusing on the processes and musical productions of a generation who experimented with music to narrate a particular experience: being young in the context of a long decade -2008 to 2020- characterized by the precariousness of working conditions and lifestyles in which the future horizon, for many young people, appears broken. Our conclusion points out that, through the notions of disenchantment, violence and the culture of peace, it is possible to signify the particular ways that young people have constructed for being and being together in the face of individualism and the planned precariousness of contemporary neoliberalism.
