So.... Music is prostitution? After all, to 99% of the population, music
exists only for the purpose of emotional response. People listen to songs
that make them happy or sad, or that make them feel differently. If they
"enjoy" it, it makes them happy, or agreeable. What purpose does music serve
outside of creating an emotional response?
Even the most base response to music, "I like it/I don't like it" is based on
emotion, and created entirely for free.
