>idol worship
Has been a thing since Liszt

Music exists as a sense of community. It gets everybody on the same page. Think church hymms, think nursery rhymes. A lot of the time music is a convenient way to convey music.

In the year 2000BC it wasnt internet memes, or wikipedia that was propegating knowledge. No, it was songs that was passed down from generation to generation. Songs had a more utility usage back then. To teach and to make everybody on the same page, like the bible. To make a homogenous and successful tribal unit.

Is that what you want now? To have people singing about jesus christ and juche being imperative to the survival of the DPRK? Get a grip OP. Idol worship is just another iteration of this meme propegating format of music.

Music has always been co-opted because to the human mind rhythym and pattern recognition is extremely useful. The song ring a round the roses is about not sneezing in peoples faces lest they die from the plague. That song has survived centuries and kids still sing it today.

Now kids sing about one direction to make simon cowell money. Who gives a shit, its always been about spreading shit. Its a virus of such. Yesterday it was about spreading meme knowledge that was largely based in survival tactics

Now that its not needed as all knowledge is available on wikipedia, its now used to propegate the most useful strategy of today which is making money

TLDR music has always been about spreading the most useful imperative of the time. In the past it was knowledge. Now that that is redundant its making money. Same shit different era

Honestly bro this comment is enough to blow you out cos you wouldnt have been able to come up with this urself whereas I did. commas be damned. Literally disregard my entire post except this line and its still more insightful than anything else this thread will produce

Celebrity worship started with actors in the 18th century and reached music with Liszt in the 19th century. There might be earlier examples but these are the earliest ones I've read about.
>>129922660
It's not like you could buy recordings back then.

Only simple minds care about "celebrities".

>>129922687
And when I say I came up with it myself I literally mean I have never read this anywhere and i came up with it myself. I dont even know if this is a thought chain that anyone has even said before

I mean it definitely has because it makes logical sense and anyone with 120IQ+ and read about music and the propegating of memes and ideas through human history will come to the conclusion that music is the most efficient and effective way of spreading such ideas. but most people cant ocme up with that themselves and can only regurgigate it after reading it. I came to this conclusion myself just now after being presented the statement of the OP

Satan ruined music

In the Roman Empire there was also celebrities like gladiators and they even sold merchandise in the form of those gladiators.

What's so bad about discussing the minds behind those ideas?

frog posters ruined the internet by being stupid frog posters
