Where Can Rock Exist? Musical Meanings and Consumer Activism
Social movements can no longer be regarded as solely political activities, as they create spaces for musical and other kinds of cultural production and consumption. Signifying the relationship between power and music, music acts both as a catalyst in mobilizing the crowds and a paravane for consumption activities. This paper studies the preliminary findings to interpret (musical) codes in social contexts and in consumer identity projects by illustrating a four-year long consumer activism movement. The emerging themes all denote a multiplicity of meanings and the significance of aesthetic codes in interpreting them.
