This is a community to engage in musical theory and practice. What exactly does that mean?
To that end, this is simply a space for people of varying backgrounds and education to share music and their thoughts about music. Musical study via the history of music is also encouraged.
Rules:
Standard GZD rules apply here
No elitism tolerated. The value of music is ultimately determined by how socially necessary it is, i.e. how much people like it and interact with it.
By the same token, no anti-intellectualism tolerated. Like anything in the world, music is something worthy of study that everyone can always learn more about.
No Eurocentricism tolerated. Western (specifically German) music theory and practice being considered inherently superior to the music of other cultures is reactionary.
Popular or classical, western or non-western, communist or even anti-communist, feel free to mention any and all kinds of music here.

And she was lying in the grass And she could hear the highway breathing And she could see a nearby factory She's making sure she is not dreaming
See the lights of a neighbor's house Now she's starting to rise Take a minute to concentrate And she opens up her eyes
All of their songs are amazing. And that legendary Stop Making Sense live performance... Mamma mia.
