For one, I have no idea what Fux meant with that, you don't give a historical context and I don't feel like researching it on my own. Speaking of which, it's a seemingly random statement and it has no depth because it can mean anything you want it to mean without any fixed context.

So all it really is, is an invitation to ramble on something which is as well uncertain and unclear. I'll pass, thx.

It'd be similar to me posting "Ducks are the best music." and saying "discuss!" then accusing people of not taking it seriously. I'm sorry, it doesn't matter much that Fux said it, it's still a random statement which might as well mean nothing without a real context.

Seems to me you over-thought this and expected people to read your mind. You should've posted what you posted above in your first post, then maybe it would've been more interesting. Now it's not helping much, I have no idea what any of what you said has to do with Fux' quote at all.

I mean, uh, yeah music has changed a lot since then! That's... not very debatable. If the question is why did stuff change then, well, if we'll turn this into a sociology study then why not just say so right away?

As for what prevents me from making my own context is the same thing that prevents me from interpreting your post as a personal attack on the people's republic of China and my mom. Communication doesn't really work without at least some sort of basic context that is shared by people engaging in the whole process.

I can as well take Fux's quote to be entirely satire/irony/sarcasm, and that he was actually totally in favor of what was going on. Hell he himself was insane! Who knows? Who cares?

So, yeah. I stand by what I said before, I don't think it's very interesting and you should've probably formulated it better rather than randomly dumping the quote and expecting what you predicted to happen.
