@mahgister I hear what you’re saying but it is virtually impossible to “prove” one work of art is “better” than another.
My point is we must educate ourselves... I dont judge people who like some pop singer ... I can appreciate some others too ... This is not my point at all ...
All artists and all musicians must be respected... Taylor swift had talent as i already say...
But we must educate ourselves and we cannot listen all our life to the same few pop artists...
There exist evidence in acoustics research that we appreciate music with our body not with our consumers conditioned intellectualized taste...😊
To explore many different timbre experiences in many different cultures is the way to be deprogrammed from inferior consumers manufactured products... I dont say that it is bad to listen Taylor Swift ... I say that we must not only learned our cultural heritage as Bach and Jazz but others timbre perspectives why ?
Because our brain/body must learned new physical invariant through new timbre experience for new harmonies , read this very important research :
