Maybe the purpose of music today is not to communicate sometimes complex emotions and celebrate life anymore but instead seems to be mostly rhythm and beat.
This communicates primitive mating rituals and celebrates the pervasive modern hook-up culture worship of the easy, cheap, and often “O” that supercedes all other matters.
(Also occasionally the goal is to simply disturb, which is easy to accomplish. Baroque, Classical, Jazz, Folk, Rock, now has become the Narcissism Age of Music.
(disclaimer: prior ages also elevated the “O” as a goal too but never as impersonal, cold, mean, and soul-less as today. Other people, objects, animals are just tools to accomplish it. No romance, relationships, nor Family (eek!) considered.)
