If you are treating all music like stock music or background noise, essentially a commodity that earns royalties, this applies.

But once you are even remotely interested in engaging with it as an artform the whole thing just falls apart, since there is nothing artistic, nothing intellectually challenging. Friction from being confronted with another sentient beings outlook on life is what makes most music worth listening to. It’s an artifact of the human experience.

That sounds like it would taste even worse on fries
