Abstract
The industrialization of music has become an important matter of discussion, especially due to its social effects. Music, which is regarded as one of the driving forces of a fast consumption culture, is also considered to be effective on globalization. The fact that popular culture played a role in starting the uniformization of societies paved the way for 20th century thinkers to study in this field as well. T.W. Adorno, one of the leading names in the Frankfurt School, also came to the fore with his studies on music, especially around the concept of culture industry. Adorno's criticism on popular music, who brought new concepts to the sociology of music and even combined music and philosophy and thus considered to be the founder of the music sociology in many comments, constitutes the main study area of this study. In the study the concept of popular culture and its combination with popular music is explored through the ideas of Adorno.
