Contexte culturel
Music is a vital part of 'Friluftsliv' (outdoor life). Many Norwegians listen to music or podcasts while hiking or skiing alone. The 'Russ' celebration involves buses with massive speakers. Listening to music at high volume is a rite of passage. Norway has one of the highest rates of music streaming per capita in the world, largely due to early adoption of Spotify. Folk music (folkemusikk) is still popular in certain regions, often played at weddings or local festivals.
