This week we spoke about rock music and culture. Scruton argued that there has been a decline in musical culture and he is not completely wrong nor is he completely right about the matter. Both Scruton and Gracyk both agreed that there is a value of power. I feel like Gracyk has the upper hand on the matter because he strays away from a euphoric state where as Scruton strives for that. Music that lacks that and order isnt really music worth listening to to Scruton. Scruton fails to realize that not all music is meant to put you in a euphoric state as long as it has intent, melody, harmony, and rhythm; that should be what matters.
