Thread Name: All music is good music, discuss
Subject: RE: BS: All music is good music, discuss
I'm still on the fence, because I need a couple of provisos:

First, I assume we are talking about music as opposed to song - because there are some lyrics with whose objective I would disagree because they are offensive etc. But "pure" music avoids that pitfall.

And second, there are some combinations of sounds that I would not term "music", though others might. I am thinking of some of the experimental stuff around - some works for me as music, even if I don't like it, and some I consider just a cacophony of sounds.

But generically, yes, all music is good - to someone. And the pursuit of music is generally speaking a good and an ennobling one.
