Popular music has been an object of academic research since at least the middle of the 20th century. Initially, much of this work was fieldwork based, studying aspects of music production, performance, and consumption. As the scholarship on popular music has developed, so have the techniques by which academic researchers gather data for analysis and use in their work. The purpose of this entry is to survey and discuss various techniques now used by academic research in studying the sociocultural significance of popular music. Techniques reviewed include fieldwork, archives, audiovisual material, and textual analysis.
