<<During the past couple of decades the most significant shift in "music", IMO, has been emergence of blatantly hostile, "*k you or them" themes.>> Quite true. My late husband, who was anything but a strict disciplinarian, never allowed the kids to play rock music in the house. (Bless him! This meant that I did not have to play the bad guy!) He charged that it was "deliberately ugly" -- and designed to make its hearers deliberately ugly, as well. None of that dissuaded my musician son -- a flutist at the time -- from his ambition to become a rock bass guitarist. I can remember a discussion we had about classical vs. rock music. He (my son) claimed that rock music had a wider range of emotion. I (of course) said that was ridiculous; that it was classical music that had the wider range of emotion. He then came up with what he thought was the trump card: "Yeah! But classical music can't express anger!** Yes, that is what he was looking for then: anger. And the "music" he listened to (when his dad was not around) gave it to him.
