ABSTRAKTesis ini adalah tentang persepsi audience terhadap sebuah produk budaya
Amerika. Fokus penelitian ini adalah audience Indonesia, yakni sekelompok
penggemar musik heavy metal rock Metallica. Audience dipilih berdasarkan suatu
kesamaan yakni memiliki ketertarikan menonton Metallica. Masalah yang
diangkat dalam penelitian ini adalah tentang bagaimana persepsi para
penggemar musik cadas ini berdasarkan teori resepsi. Maka yang diteliti adalah
pendapat audience Indonesia terhadap Metallica serta yang dirasakan oleh
kelompok ini ketika menonton konser Metallica di Indonesia, khususnya Jakarta.
Pengambilan data dilakukan melalui wawancara terhadap informan penggemar
Metallica. Pengolahan data menggunakan teknik coding, yakni open coding,
axial coding dan selective coding. Dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa
seluruh informan mendapat pengaruh dan energi positif dari musik popular
Amerika Metallica. Musik cadas yang begitu kental dengan bayang- bayang
kebrutalan, narkotika, urakan dan musik keras ternyata tidak terjadi dalam
persepsi audience Indonesia. Mereka justru menikmati musik Metallica sebagai
pengaruh positif bagi kehidupan masing- masing informan, meskipun bidang yang
ditekuni berbeda- beda. Audience lebih memandang Metallica dari kualitas
bermusik baik secara fisik ataupun dari efek perasaan yang ditimbulkan dari
karya- karya Metallica.
