passage
passage 1
\video killed the radio star\ was the first music video aired on mtv in 1981. this choice essentially predicted the future. now that songs are combined with images of the people creating the music, we find ourselves dazzled by the appearance of the musicians and the slick production of the video, which may or may not even have anything to do with the song itself. as our eyes are increasingly fixed on luxurious locations, exciting special effects, and elaborate choreography in videos, our ears are becoming less able to listen to the music with attention to detail and appreciation for nuance. musicians are still making great music, but we dont hear it like we used to.

passage 2
contrary to the opinion of \music purists,\ music videos have actually helped us appreciate music more than when it was only on the radio. consider the beatles 1964 appearance on the ed sullivan show. most people in the united states had never seen the band; they had only heard them on the radio. as people watched the show and marveled at seeing the beatles play their instruments and sing the lyrics, they found that the music was accentuated; the songs became richer, more exciting. people were \listening\ to the music with their ears and eyes—and they were getting more out of it. music videos that show singers singing and bands playing have the same effect on fans today.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
Passage 1 argues that music videos distract from truly listening to music, while Passage 2 says music videos help appreciate music more and contrasts its view with "music purists". The author of Passage 1's negative view on music videos aligns with how Passage 2 portrays "music purists" (who oppose the idea that music videos help appreciate music). "Most people", "the Beatles", and "fans" in Passage 2 have positive views on music - video - enhanced music appreciation, so they don't match Passage 1's author.
# Answer:
"music purists"
