Actually it is not true that Kuhn meant his notion of "Paradigm Shift" to be applied outside of Science. He was particularly talking about the nature of theory and empiricism in the context of scientific methodology or emerging scientific methodology. To apply this to say, styles of music, is to miss his point. That point being that when empirical evidence invalidates theory or forces it into difficult convolutions then a new theory will arise provided that their is enough data and, by implication the right sort of observational and experimental equipment.
