Symbolic Interaction
Symbolic Interactionism is based on researchers study of how people react or respond to things that have symbolic meaning.
Interaction is the essence of all varieties of interactionist sociology and of everyday life.

Symbolic Interaction
Herbert Blumer stated:“Society consists of people engaging in symbolic interaction.” Blumer’s view of the perspective is that people act on things based on the meaning those things have for them.

InteractionOn an everyday basis we interact with each other. Through interaction we become human. We
respond to social situations, negotiate social meanings, shape our behavior, experience and manage emotions, and shape and refine culture. ( Sandstrom et al. 2006).
It is first and foremostthe mechanism for generating and sharing meanings.

Symbolic Interaction
Symbolic interaction over music can range from the most personal and intimate to the most public and mass-mediated.
In order to see the role interaction plays in our music experiences we will provide two examples:

Symbolic Interactions
The first is personal interaction with one’s self regarding what we will define as a distinctly sociological concept of the “pop song.”
The second is the much more public interaction that takes place at “music scenes”

The Pop Songs: “Stuck In Your Head”
What makes a pop song?-It’s melody driven, short with a length
time of less than three and half mins. -Fun danceable lyrics dealing with
issues of love.- “ call me maybe,” by Carly Rae
Jepsen is an example of a pop song. Or other examples such as:

Ten Common Characteristics of Pop Songs
Joe Kotarba’s 2012 Study “ The Sociology of Popular Music” concluded pops songs have ten common traits.
1. It’s “catchy” meaning it gets inside a person’s mind.2. They’re lyrics of love and romance considered more of “chick songs because its geared more towards young women with simplicity, perhaps optimistically
![Page 11: Samantha Almond Dorathy Chambers Teylor Musgrove Ben Smith Kim Seng](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051123/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab0599782fc/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
3. Listeners of non-pop songs generally distance and distinguishes themselves between those who like pop songs, youth oriented ones.
4. Can be contagious in drawing the listener in.- Enjoyable, while occupying the mind with good feelings
5. Lyrics doesn’t have to be catchy. Can be open-ended to allow the song to be catchy.
![Page 12: Samantha Almond Dorathy Chambers Teylor Musgrove Ben Smith Kim Seng](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051123/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab0599782fc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
6. When a pop song is experienced alone, the effects of the song are personal and immediately pleasurable.
7. When the pop song is experienced in the presence of others, she shared experience is simple, pleasurable, and fun – play rather than intellectual or artistic meaning-making and sharing
![Page 13: Samantha Almond Dorathy Chambers Teylor Musgrove Ben Smith Kim Seng](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051123/5a4d1ae37f8b9ab0599782fc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
8. The pop song is perceived as formulaic, as a replication, or merely as fashionable. Whether you like the song or not.
9. The pop song provides good soundtrack music to play in the background because it does not require intellectual attention.
10. Repetitious play in the mass media reinforces the catchability of the pop song.

Sense of Place
The producers of the music try to involve a sense of home.

The Scene
Idioculture- A group creates norms and behavior patterns that are different from those in the subculture of which it is a part.
The Scene becomes an important cultural resource in Latino communities. Latino culture evolves and changes throughout every generation. Everyone has their own type of music and that music shapes their style.

Conclusion
Music is designed to be sharedThe actual experience, feelings and
meaning of music is determined and shaped by the social worlds within which it exists.
These worlds can be small such as within ourselves, or they can be large, elaborate, complex, political and cultural.
