i guess it all comes down to some kind of idea about why an artists would
choose to do what they do. a lot of good music is related to someone
communicating ideas and emotions about the world they live in and that
might be why some kinds of music are strongly associated with
particular periods and as the world changes relevant creative work
changes too. or something.
