PrepTest 135 - Section 4 - Question 17

Show summary

Watching music videos from the 1970s would give the viewer the impression that the music of the time was dominated by synthesizer pop and punk rock. ███ ████ █████ ██ █ ██████████ ███████████ ███████ █████ ██████ ████ █ ███ ███ ████ ██ ███ █████ ████ █████████ █████████ ████████████ ██████████

Method of Reasoning

The argument proceeds by pointing out that a particular sample is unrepresentative and therefore likely to lead to a distorted perception. It notes that 1970s music videos could give a viewer the impression that the decade’s music was dominated by synthesizer pop and punk rock, but argues that this would be misleading. This is because music videos, being a brand new technology, tended to attract a particular subset of musicians. Implicit in the argument is the claim that music videos do not accurately reflect the broader musical landscape of the 1970s.
