That could be my opinion and interpretation. But it's NOT valid. It's wrong.

>Implying opinions about media, which differ from person to person because not only does no one really know the original creator's intent unless expressed, but the consumers of the media all have different experiences and will attach different values to different things, thus allowing them to interpret things differently, can be wrong.

Wow. Wow. Really? You're saying that out of the dozens of interpretations of different songs and books and movies, one of them is right? Oh, but I assume that would be the one you think is the right one, eh?

And because more people can identify with them somehow takes away from the melody, the poetics, the rhythm, other word choices, the skill of the musicians, and the dozens of other things that make up a song?

But you know what, I think you're just going to sit up on whatever high horse you're on, and look down your nose at everyone else and nothing I can say will change that.

You're saying that out of the dozens of interpretations of different songs and books and movies, one of them is right?

No.

But there are definitely interpretations which are NOT supported in ANY way, shape or form by the text. And those interpretations ARE wrong. "The Yellow Wallpaper" (which, if you're not familiar, is basically feminist Gothic horror) is NOT about communism, and it would simply be wrong to argue that it was.

I said that because people often say, as you did above, that "opinions and interpretation [of art] can't be wrong."

All I'm saying is: yes, they definitely can be.

Well, if you pull something entirely out of your ass, yeah, but that's just because someone is making shit up. If someone reads a poem/book, listens to a song, watches a movie, or consumes any sort of media, and based on their own experiences and thought processes, interprets a line of text or lyric or scene as something, that is completely valid. It's not wrong to argue that it's about communism, if, based on the text and the reader's experience, that is what they take away from it. Writers and artists may imply one thing, but the consumer of the art is the second half of the equation, and whatever they take away from it has to be taken into consideration.

If someone tells me "I think Moby Dick is actually about sexism" I will be rather surprised since I don't think that's an integral part of the book at all, but if I ask them why they think so, and they explain to me where in the text they see this and how they interpret it, I may not agree with them, but I don't think their opinion is wrong.
