Question
Is it permitted to listen to regular music after Lag BaOmer?
Answer
Hello,
From the perspective of the mourning period of the Omer, it is permitted to listen to music after Lag BaOmer.
However, many Ashkenazi Jews have the custom not to listen to music until close to the festival of Shavuot, due to the severe decrees and the destruction of many communities during the Crusades.

Nevertheless, some observe a degree of mourning due to the decree of 4856 that occurred in Ashkenaz between Pesach and Shavuot.
