Supplementary

This can be summed up in the debate of serious and light music. Clearly it is not exactly light listening, but contains elements that attempt to trivialize the context of mimetic production and a mirroring of what repetition does in modernity--this comparison works when opposed to any position critiquing reused elements for song composure.

Here, the lyrics are derived from a genre more recently built upon spontaneity with an emphasis on extemporaneous sounds and words without the use of classical components for instrumentation.


Now, without words:


The more savvy approach of course uses other peoples voices, and trivializes the use of classical elements in composition with repetitive, droned-out synth productions. The lack of a literal voice contained in lyrics presents the opposition to anything arranged as "pure" or "spontaneous" music for performance, and amusement.

In this example, sounds seem estranged from their previous genres and transported in less obvious forms of impoverishment and commercialization for the listeners and creators ends.
