Music can be interpreted differently by different people, bringing some together while dividing others. More mainstream chart music may have a plain meaning, while other genres like Bob Dylan's mid-1960s music required more interpretation of ingenious lyrics to understand the artist's perspective. New social media sites allow the public to discuss and express what they feel songs mean, with sites like Rap Genius that allows lyrical annotation raising $15 million in investments.

1. How do people interpret music?

2. • Music is one of those things in life that we interpret differently. It has the power to bring
together whilst simultaneously segregating us. This is more apparent in the social networking
world of harsh tweets and hashtag battles fought by rivals.
• More chart music doesn’t take much interpreting; the words are plain simple. In the mid-
Sixies, the media were infatuated with Bob Dylan’s music desperately pulling apart his
ingenious lyrics in the hope that they’d piece together a better picture of what was going on in
the mind.

3. • With new social media sites such as Youtube and Rap Genius allow the public lets the
public express what they think and feel the songs meaning is and also lets them
express their opinion of the song. Rap Genius won an investment of $15 million from
a wealthy entrepreneur.
