Just a weird thought i had. Music seems to get faster and more chaotic in modern days.

Rap music(nigger music) is the fastest "music" there is

And also if you listen to Edo Japanese music from a few hundred years ago its very slow paced , whilst Japanese 1980's Enka music is faster paced but slower than modern Japanese music, and modern Japanese music is faster paced than both Edo and Enka music.

So is fast and chaotic music a sign of a deteriorating society that is losing civility? Even Western classical music today is faster paced than in the past. https://archive.md/tvwM5

> I think what makes music "uncivilized" is the complexity, the musicianship, and the intent of the music. By and large, classical music was written to be beautiful, but most "fast music" these days is intentionally ugly and unlistenable.


This is my view as well. The easiest way to tell is by the intent of the artist, the purpose of the art. Most art today is made intentionally ugly. The academic excuse is that it "deconstructs" the "cis hetero White supremacist patriarchy" norms, because "those things are inherently evil".


We all know who makes those arguments and why. It's just an excuse for them to make ugly art, to make the world ugly, to demoralize people, to mimic the people that made it, and mirror what's in their hearts. They are ugly people, in every way. The ancient Greeks had it right. Beauty is synonymous with truth. Truth produces beauty. It's not always obvious in the real world, and at first glance it seems to be very ethereal and subjective, but as one ages and learns to spot the signs, the differences in motive and art, it becomes obvious.


The people that make beautiful art, want to increase the beauty of the world they live in, not just for themselves, but for their children and people. The people that make ugly art, want to achieve antithesis, for the opposite reasons.
