STREAMING MUSIK SEBAGAI KONSTRUKSI IDENTITAS (SEBUAH KAJIAN LITERATUR)

Abstract

In the current digital era, it is incredibly simple to appreciate music. It is now possible to enjoy music without purchasing CDs, cassettes, or even black plates. The availability of music streaming services has rendered internet connectivity the sole requirement for unrestricted music listening. Thus, music can be utilised to accompany daily activities as background music. Prior studies have indicated that an individual's identity might be discernible through the music collection hosted on a music streaming platform. This literary study aims to investigate the process of identity formation through music streaming services, drawing on past research and the social construction theory proposed by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann. Internalisation, externalisation, and objectivation are the three dialectical moments of social construction that occur during the identity formation process via the music streaming service, according to this literary analysis. The moments of introspection an individual experiences while listening to music on a personalised streaming service are compiled into a playlist that contributes to the formation of one's sense of self. When identical identities are present in a society, objectivation ensues, resulting in the formation of a new social identity
