Reflections on the concept of recorded sound by Marcus Dowling

My man Marcus Dowling (The Couch Sessions via True Genius Requires Insanity) always writes these insightful pieces on his blog. I told the dude I strive to be as good of a writer as him but he's so humble he kinda doesn't accept the compliment. Can't hate on him though because I'm the same way. This time he's eeked out another post which explains the commingling of music as we young folks know it. Does this signal the return to a time when there was just good or bad music? Possibly, maybe...

"As of late (understand that to mean the last 72 hours), I’ve taken a great deal of time to study the concept of sound. Not even so much music, but the creation of what we know as the realm of the musical from the realm of the tone, and how the tone or pitch creates an effect, and creates an emotion, and how that emotion from that tone or pitch creates the musical genre, and how we’ve evolved from tone and sound creating genre to going to subcategories where the sound of a voice on a track delineates it’s genre, to the point where we are now where the lines between rap, rock, country, western, house, club and folk have melded to the point where I strongly feel there is now just pop, or underground, and that everything has the potential to become pop, but mostly everything remains underground, as there are so many variations on sound now that the natural selection and progression of music has been completely destroyed, and anarchy has been loosed upon music, creating delirium that has ruled the roost in our most current musical era."
