Thread Name: Does it matter what music is called?
Subject: RE: Does it matter what music is called?
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can pick apart your analogy simply because it does not make sense to reality. YOU have missed the point!!
Pick up a dictionary. You are creating your own definition now.
American Heritage -
1. Music originating among the common people of a nation or region and spread about or passed down orally, often with considerable variation. 2. Contemporary music in the style of traditional folk music
Many of the songs that I hear fit both catagories quite nicely. The way music has been "passed down" in the last 100 years is not just using the "oral" tradition, and hence the second definition.
