Question

b. Even though members of these two groups have very different experiences and perspectives, they understand Morrissey's music in the same way
c. They bring different interpretive strategies to the experience of listening to Morrissey's music
d. Music is universal and all people experience it in the same way; if one group can be moved by it, then any group will feel the same way
e. Morrissey is transmitting messages to certain targeted audiences that unconsciously absorb them

Answer 1

Answer:

c. They bring different interpretive strategies to the experience of listening to Morrissey's music

Explanation:

Music is enjoyed by a varied audience because interpretation to music is subjective and a single piece of music may have different impart or interpretation to different people. This is the reason why it is possible for individuals to totally enjoy a music even though they have no understanding of what the artist is saying. To the British teenagers, they may enjoy his music because he is British or a sense of patriotism why the Hispanic Californians may enjoy it for a totally different reason.
