awesome ideas about territory. i agree music does have cultural meaning both embedded in it and also attached to it. i would love to know what sort of music xenophobic people listen to. any theories? some of them would probably make their own music: contemporary folk type music. it would be interesting to research. i wonder whether there are fascist forums with music subforums.
I don't think you can brand 'contemporary folk' music as xenophobic
In orwells dystopian novel '1984' the music was created by a machine to be soulless crap
this is because in the state-socialist world all humanity is just one homogenous soup....no colour, no verve, no diversity, no interest, just dull grey gloop as all creativity and expression is suppressed to a dull, grey, oppressive conformity
What i love about humanity is their diversity
I love visiting other cultures and experiencing the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of their cultures
I like hearing their music, speaking with them and getting their perspectives, tasting their food, reading up on their religious beliefs and history and on the journey they have been on
Folk music will often reflect diversity on cultural grounds which itself has a geographic dimension
I think there is nothing wrong with a person enjoying the music of their region as long as they respect other people and their cultures
The threat to all peoples is the death of creativity and its replacement with empty, soulless, meaningless facile psuedo-culture that robs people of their sense of place and direction
Modern psuedo-culture leaves people with no sense of direction or of place except as part of a swirling melee of nothingness
The modern equivalent would be soulless music like madonna or lady gaga which is deliberately and aggressivley marketted to the world by the west to breakdown their cultural diversity and replace it with vacuous music with no message, no soul and no sense of place or purpose
It is for those who are dead inside and reliant on tranquilisers to make it through their day....people living a lie
I think the most xenophobic people on the planet are those of the psuedo-culture who have no respect for diversity...they just want to push their emptiness on everyone around the world. Those cultures are the same ones that drop all the bombs on other peoples...hateful people
