A crude form of communication based upon patterned oscillating atmospheric distortions generated
via vocal and or instrumental means with the intent to convey some emotion or express some (typically
abstract) concept. Music exist in several different genres, which can be further subdivided into smaller classifications; but those are mostly created by marketing reps to confuse the
average listener and incite rivalry amongst unimportant subcultures. The bottom
line is trends and the all mighty $. Whatever values coveted by the factions who vehemently enjoy one particular type of music over another are not truly relevant.
For some reason music seems to speak to the soul of most
people. It reaches out to the primal man-ape within us all. The weak minded can be controlled or inspired by it. An impressionable music aficionado can be persuaded or dissuaded to
kill his or her
best friend just by listening to music. Music can be soothing riveting or something all together different.
