I was talking about MODERN music and it's roots and you have gone off into a tangent. Technical music draws it's influence from mathmatical sums and theory. Technical music followed folk music though. Emotion was and is the key word to the formation of music and it's connations to it's relavent society. Although technical ability is regarded in many facets of society, the over riding opinion is the appreciation of the emotion of the song in the first place. You may well listen to a song and appreciate it's technical ability but music was never created for technical prowess. It was a tool of communication. Plain and simple.

I appreciate what you look for in music, but dissing other people for looking for something in music that you don't appreciate is narrow minded and a loss to your self. You should always be MOVED by music first, then IMPRESSED by it's composition.
