What do those words mean in music?

Conventions and breaking of conventions can both be amazing or atrocious depending on the context. I don't think it's appropriate to put that kind of limitation on ideas.

That's fair. I find it pretty captivating though, it really tells a story like a lot of Abe's music does.

But back to what I was saying about harmonicas: defo can be cool as **** (Abe was actually my example of that ) but the instrument's design restricts its potential in a big way.
