The music is not about a formula. There may be common features to many
tracks, but this doesn't indicate that artists are just throwing sounds ad
hoc into a formula and pressing CDs. You've picked out specific elements
of the songs that are common. But even these individual elements vary
significantly. And you're ignoring a great deal of the other aspects of
the music.
