This study examines how Finnish adolescents and young adults (15–27 years) (n=64) use music in their everyday lives, and what kind of roles and meanings young people themselves give to their daily musical uses. The data consists of interviews and digi-ethnographical material. Each participant was interviewed twice. The first interview focused on the participants’ musical history and everyday experiences with music. After this, the participants recorded videos and or/ audio data and /or took photos related to their uses and experiences of music in their daily lives. After a one-week period of this data collection, a deeper interview focusing on these participants’ musical uses and experiences was conducted.
