BAN POP MUSIC NOW!

[koganbot]

Have been pointed to the Webpage for musoc.org, an activist site with avowed political intent that supports, among other things, the following ideas and policies:

--Art music is objectively superior to pop music.

--If you disagree you are a relativist.

--Anything that is not art music is pop music, so minimalism, 'total' serialism, musique concrète, etc. are pop music.

--Pop music should be BANNED from all public and work places that are not licensed entertainment venues.

--Pop music should be BANNED from children's television and other media.

I am fairly sure I looked at this page, or something VERY LIKE IT, in 2000! I am also fairly sure it was Josh who sent me the link.

From the style I suspect that if anyone did agree with him he'd be a bit baffled and verging on upset.
