Answer to Question 1

 Both are making prejudiced judgments based on the music they know and like. They are judging an outside music-culture by the standards of their own familiar music-cultures rather than judging unfamiliar music on its own cultural terms.

Answer to Question 2


  • A people's total involvement with music: ideas, actions, institutions, material objectseverything that has to do with music

  • A music-culture can be as small as a single human's personal music-culture, or as large as one carried by a transnational group. We can speak of the music-culture of a family, a community, a region, a nation. We can identify music-cultures with musical genres: there is a hip-hop music-culture, for example, a classical Western art music-culture, a jazz music-culture. We can identify sub-cultures within music-cultures: Atlanta hip hop, for example, within the hip hop music-culture . . .
