This article is aimed at finding the latent structure of Ukrainian musical taste. Latent class analysis,
likewise factor analysis, is a method which can be helpful to find the structure of a latent variable, such as
taste, which stands behind patterns of responses to survey questions describing the preferences for some
cultural goods, such as styles, genres, compositions, or performers. However, the biggest advantage of
latent class analysis is that it can be applied to dichotomic and categorical variables. The article presents
the findings of exploratory latent class analysis of musical preferences of Ukrainians. The results indicate
there are three classes of musical taste in Ukraine: post-Soviet popular music taste, contemporary music
taste, and omnivorous taste.
