Musical taste has been the subject of numerous sociological studies since the 60s of the 20th century, while sociology relies on Pierre Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital in the analysis of musical taste. Since the theoretical explication of cultural capital, the world has encountered numerous socio-technological changes and the emergence of a platform society characterized by the emergence of globally widespread streaming and communication platforms that significantly facilitated access to music. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to examine the connection between specific ways of using social networks and young people's musical taste by comparing two types of capital - digital and cultural (embodied) capital. The work is based on quantitative research methodology, where the data was collected by an online survey questionnaire on a sample of the student population (N=135). The results of the research showed that there is a positive correlation between listening to popular music and specific ways of using social networks, i.e., the socio-political dimension, the dimension of following pages and celebrities, the participatory dimension, and the dimension of watching music content, and between listening to commercial-electronic music and the dimension of following pages and famous people. Conversely, a negative correlation was found between listening to alternative-rock-metal music and the participatory dimension, while listening to older music styles did not correlate with any of the previously defined dimensions of social network use.
