Music, Identity, Culture and Adolescents: Bibliometric Analysis During the Research Period (2016–2025) Pascual Luque, Raquel Luque Suárez, Mónica Francisca Olmos Gómez, María Del Carmen music Popular music Adolescents This bibliometric study analyses scientific output over the last 10 years on music using the following keywords “youth”, “culture” and “education”. Based on a sample of 904 documents extracted from the Web of Science database, the research analyses emerging trends in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, in patterns of collaboration between authors and countries, and the main topics related to music, culture, identity and young people. To this end, we have applied a quantitative bibliometric methodology, using the Biblioshiny tool from RStudio, generating frequency network maps, multiple correspondence analysis and thematic graphs showing the relationships between keywords and those used by authors. The results show that the United States is the leading scientific producer in this field. The two main terms obtained in the analysis are popular culture and popular music, in addition to related concepts such as identity, gender and education, among others. In conclusion, this study shows how globalisation alters popular culture by influencing the behaviour of adolescents. The research is limited in terms of contributions from the Global South, given the database used, but it is presented as an inclusion in future lines of research. 2025-11-07T11:46:14Z 2025-11-07T11:46:14Z 2025-11-04 journal article Luque, R.P.; Suárez, M.L.; Gómez, M.d.C.O.
