The results of the study describe the reception of the Merunggu fan base regarding the message content of the song '33x' by Perunggu and identify the supporting factors influencing the Merunggu fan base in their reception of the song '33x' by Perunggu. Stuart Hall's reception analysis classifies reception into three models: dominant position, negotiated position, and oppositional position. The dominant position aligns with the lyrical message, the negotiated position aligns with a personal understanding, and the oppositional position opposes the message. Several factors influence informants' reception of the song lyrics, including cultural factors, personal experiences, the musical approach, and religious factors. Through these two points, it is hoped to provide valuable data for similar research and to illustrate how Perunggu can understand how their fan base receives the messages in their song lyrics.]]>
