To establish an ethnography of teenagers practices of music listening, we have developed three different types of interviews around each of these teenagers: individual, with peers and with the family. At the end of this experience, these interviews proved to be complementary by producing different kind of data and results. We intend to show that the types of interviews involved participate in determining the way the issue of music listening is addressed, inasmuch as the discourse collected seems to be shaped from the framework through which it is examined. In other words, we seek to demonstrate that the methodology of the interview reveals a plasticity that is due to the different communication situations generated around a same individual.
