The English music star Morrissey got his start in the band The Smiths, singing about radical vegetarianism and bisexuality in the 1980s. He was effeminate, bleak, and sarcastic. His fan base has expanded far beyond the disaffected English teenagers who bought his original records. In fact, some of his most devoted fans today are Hispanic millennials in Southern California. How is it possible that British teenagers in the 1980s and Hispanic Californians today can appreciate the same music?
A) There are few differences between these two groups.
B) Even though members of the two groups have 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.
