Humanity has made astonishing progress in science, technology, and medicine in recent decades. But more than 300 years after Bach first graced the world with his music, where we are now feels like a huge step backward.
The difference is so stark that it makes you wonder if today’s music is designed to be lacking substance on purpose.

I agree; modern music is deliberately chaotic and destructive to the mind.

One of the Communist goals is to make everything ugly, from architecture to art (painting, sculpture,etc.). By definition, this would also include music, literature, and the performing arts (dance, theatre, symphony, etc.). All aspects of society have been degraded. One has to search hard to find beauty now. It’s all part of their program to promote discouragement and depression. A stark example in recent years has been the interior design industry’s fascination with and promotion of “prison grey” colors and “minimalist” decorating trends. And people wonder why they are depressed when they live in such an environment.

And architechture! there’s even a name for it, brutalism. Look at buildings 100-200 years old, and in Europe, even older. Beautiful, harmonious, decorative, functional. Buildings now are hideous and anti-human. Many have no or hardly any windows.
