How do you know that a piece of music (after the 70s) is not corrupted ?

oh! Okay... I think this is what I meant by "just the melody" in my post. Okay, like a plant!

(L) Does a person's taste in music reflect their state of awareness, development, and being?

A: Yes, more or less, though there is a range of preferences at various "levels".

Q: (L) Okay, next question:

Does a person's taste in music reflect their personal aim in life?

A: It can be strongly affected if only subconsciously.

Q: (L) Okay:

What is more important in determining a song’s value: the lyrics or the sound/mood/feeling?

A: The sound opens the door for the lyrics to enter for good or ill.

Q: (L) Does that mean that a song that sounds really horrible and mechanical and like somebody just beating on a pot or clanging on the hood of their car or something, and if that's the kind of music the person likes, but it also has good lyrics, then that's okay?

A: Not exactly. The sound can open gates at - or of - different levels and parts of the internal makeup.

On the other hand, I have listened to a lot of classical music, but I don't remember how symphonies sound like until I hear an excerpt! For example, right now, if you were to ask me how Beethoven's 9th Symphony sounds like, I would have no idea, alhough I listened to it many, many times!

I play classical music on a musical instrument. When I'm practicing a piece, the melody often plays in my head. Right now, it's Beethoven Probably it will be individual, how we perceive the music

I work in a major supermarket in the UK and we have hideous piped music all day and night. It is the one thing I hate listening to as I enter the building. It is repetitive, boring and dissonant to me. I am quite glad when the public arrive in numbers as it tends to drown out the music and I don't hear it anymore. I much prefer classical, choral and folk music.

I have noticed how much current music affects behavior - at least mine. I am on a carnivore diet, I have celiac disease so my food choices are deeply rooted in me, I practically do not eat out at all and it is not a problem for me on a daily basis, I am not tempted and it is not a great sacrifice on my part to refuse. ...but... when, for example, there is a concert in the market square, when "good" music is playing very loudly, a different atmosphere is created in me and in one moment I am able to throw out my beliefs and choices and throw myself at city food regardless of the consequences , as if I were falling into some kind of trance - noticing this was very revealing how music can affect emotions and behavior and very sobering :(
