The primary way in which a person listens to music can be described as either active or passive. It was found that people in the mountain states of the US listen to music in a more active manner i.e. they listen specifically to listen rather than being in a space where music is playing in the background. On the other hand, people in the coastal states of the US consume their music in a more passive manner. Therefore, record labels should conduct more marketing activities in the mountain states because of the higher number of active listeners there compared to the same in the coastal states.
