anti- +‎ music

   • 2015, Samuel Cameron, Music in the Marketplace: A Social Economics Approach (page 2)

     […] the current vogue, on the internet, for creating “black midi” files using software to create musical performances with literally millions of notes being played […] is unlikely to appeal to the general listener and we should probably consider it a deviant case of anti-music made for frivolous purposes rather than any kind of polemic.
