The Death of Uncool - Shuffle Task

In order to back up Eno's theory that "People become increasingly confortable with drawing their culture from a rich range of courses- cherry picking whatever makes sense to them" I shuffled through my music playlist to see how many different types of music came up. these are the results;

1. Kanye West - Gorgeous
2. Mac Miller - Don't mind if i do
3. Boyz II Men - Thank You
4. KiD CuDi - Mojo So Dope
5. J. Cole - Never Told
6. Paul Mccartney - Wonderful Christmastime 
7. Bob Marley - One Love 
8. Don Mclean - American Pie
9. J. Cole - Work Out
10. Kasabian - Velociraptor!
11. Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
12. Jay-Z - Renegade
13. The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger 
14. Kasabian - Goodbye Kiss
15. Razorlight - America
16. John Legend - Ordinary People
17. Eminem - Run Rabbit Run
18. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue
19. Boyz II Men - In The Still Of The Night
20. Nas - NY State Of Mind

This test more than proved Eno's theory to be correct. If i was born in the 70's it would be very common for me to enjoy just one type of music, whether that be Rock or Disco- these days people have a much wider taste for music, as can be seen with my Shuffle results.

My results show that i enjoy a variety of music, as there are several genre's contained within the 20 such as;
R&B (Boyz II Men, John Legend)
Hip-hop/Rap (J. Cole, Mac Miller, KiD CuDi, Jay-Z etc)
Rock (Kasabian, Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Pop (Coldplay)

Another point that Eno makes is that each genre now has various sub-categories (he uses his personal experiences of walking into a record store as an example.) This can also be proved within my Shuffle results, as Kasabian and Red Hot Chili Peppers are different types of rock.
